OK from what I recall, MarkusIII won the Jolida, Retro, with me as his lucky charm next to him again, won the Marantz Blu Ray, HomerJSimpson won the Shengya Hybrid Integrated, and a guy named Dan I think won the McIntosh speakers.
I didn't get any of the big ones. I really wanted those small Tylers, but oh well.. I did win a pair of Monster Jamz in their room, and at the end my wife got a pair of Grado headphones, and I got a cool anti-static LP brush. BTW.. those Grado's Thump!!!
I kinda wanted those Tylers too. :yes: I loaded up the ticket box for those pretty good. Did you try out that little anti static brush yet? I got one too, but I'm away from my TT.
I won a pair of speakers, H&M Audio Photons. http://www.handmaudio.com/photons.html?SID=2fc4d2db1ff02974fbd61efacf89a685 I have these connected to my computer thru a 100 watt Tim Rawson chip amp and they sound absolutely fantastic!! I feel very lucky to have won these. thanks AKFEST!!!
I won some new admiration for Grumpy and the tireless team! The swap room was great - the larger rooms were great. I can't imagine how much work that all is, I was tuckered just looking around.
I second that Frank. Grumpy and the team did a great job. How do I know this??? you might ask? I put on custom motorcycle shows for almost 8 years. I know what it takes (in great detail) to put on a show like this and when everything is hitting on all 8 cyclinders and running so smoothly: like the AK fest always does, you know the team is doing a great job. Now, on to what I won: A wonderfully recorded Maple Shade CD.
I didn't win any prizes, but just like drknstrmyknight I won some admiration for Grumpy and his clan. I didn't know what to expect, but I was in total amazement at how smooth everything went. I'm proud to be part of the AK family.
