My Pocket Is a Lot Lighter Leaving Axpona

[MylesBAstor]

Went on a serious record buying frenzy at the Marketplace at Axpona 2016. (Blame it on stress relief!)

Final damage tally includes:

2 X MOFI 45 rpm Miles Davis
45 rpm MOFIAlan Parson's I Robot
Latest MOFI Bob Dylan Nashville Skyline
MOFI Dean Martin
3 X Elvis Analogue Production releases
2 X 45 rpm Sam Cooke Analogue Productions releases
New Joe Jackson release from Intervention Records
ORG 45 rpm Elvis
Latest ORG 45 rpm Diana Krall Nat King Cole

1 exchanged 15 ips Jason Roebke tape from Jonathan Horwich (he remixed the original recording with a new mixer and the latest version sounded amazing in the NOLA speakers room!).

I tried to tell the two Jeff's (Joseph and Rowland) that Chad had given me permission to take the four sampler tapes home with me at the end of the show. They didn't buy it! Well I would have needed a machine capable of playing 30 ips 1/2-inch tape anyway! Know that thought though has a few guys here salivating though!

I'll be posting more pictures and some comments about Axpona 2016 in the next few days. Let me say this though. Axpona was the best high-end audio show I've been to in the last decade and rivaled some of the best ever. Attendance ALL three days was outstanding! As my audiobuddy Charlie King put it, "Friday was the Saturday that most exhibitors dream of." Sunday, usually so quiet you can hear a pin drop, was really busy up to around 2'clock. I am really interested in the final attendance figures because it seemed they crushed last year's numbers. And 5500 last year was far from shabby.

So what did other members that attended Axpona leave town with? (I saw Lee buying a few albums.)

I came away with nothing but lots of great memories.

You must have avoided the marketplace. Or left your credit cards home!

I am sorry Myles I did buy a CD from Vincent Belanger in the Audio Note room.

[JCOConnell]

I didn't attend the show but would have loved to, and I am sure I would have scored a few items at the marketplace

[MylesBAstor]

A crate diggers dream!

Living in Milwaukee, a virtual stone throw away, I much regret not being able to attend this year. Prior obligations. But, I did get to tear open a number of lps...RSD and non. And, I am now enjoying the spoils of last weeks paycheck.

LOL....does buying on Saturday at the show count as RSD?

Hi Myles

What Elvis releases?

[1morerecord2clean]

I would eliminate RMAF for a year and go to Chicago but it's practically on top of Newport which is in my backyard. But I'd love to see it and some friends in the biz too and maybe some of the folks from here as well.

[Hugh]

We'll be at Newport.

[1morerecord2clean]

We'll be at Newport.

We should have a drink close to dinn time Friday.

[MylesBAstor]

Myles, how is I Robot? I neeeeeeeed to know!

I'm curious too. I'll try to get around to it tonight or tomorrow. Of course, probably won't have time tonight to compare with the Classic.

I was just texting Andre and Mark that the MOFI reissue of Dean Martin This Time I'm Swinging with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra is really good!

My pocketbook is a little lighter, picked up MoFi Collection 1in CD, MoFi Collection 2 in SACD. Also Peter, Paul and Mary in SACD from Audio Fidelity, and finally a freebie Legacy Music Sampler.
