The New Dynamic
Well, another year has come and gone for AK Fest, and here are a few people I'd like to personally thank:
Albert, from Manley Labs. We spoke for a good hour regarding the audio market, and more importantly (to me at least), the theories behind audiophile grade power cords. I was both amazed and excited for somebody of his caliber that spent time with me and helped me clearly understand how and why they actually work. I've learned a new perspective from him on the subject which I hope to share with you in a thread after I catch up on a couple days sleep. I honestly can't wait to try something of this venue
Gilbert, from Blue Circle, who made me laugh like crazy one moment, and the next sat down with me and helped me to puzzle out my turntable hum. His gear is not only artistry, it was such a perfect match for Grump's Audio Note speakers that I'm seriously considering his new amp to debut in a couple months which he had at the Fest.
Ron-C. I spent about 45 minutes with him on Friday night and was very impressed by the Mc music server and the gear that he brought to the show. Great stuff and a great guy.
Darren (drybasement). Anyone that would go out of their way to pick up an ENGINE (yes, a Y-block Ford V8), and sling it into his truck to bring along to the Fest for somebody he's never met, well, that's beyond words. That's something I won't forget, and I truly thank you.
Cableguy (Jim? Dammit, I'm awful at names...) and Justen (who was there in spirit). He carried in a HUGE trunkload of video production gear for me given to me by Justen (not that I know what half of this stuff is or how to run it). I'll bet I spent half the Fest hanging together with you and Homer J and now I can't even remember your names. Dammit, next time I lay off mixing whatever beers I kept bumming from Craig and Macc
And, most importantly, our own Grumpy. He was kind enough to give me the second love of his life (his Suzuki GS850), so that I could embark on a few new adventures away from the wife and kids . Dave, I love ya like a brother
I am truly humbled by the audio skills and the generosity of the members that were in attendence, and I'm very proud to be one of the "Founding Fathers" of AudioKarma.org
