    Will you be attending, Myles?
    i would love to see Accuphase do more N.America shows. Seems the AXPONA show would be the perfect opportunity
    to get more exposure, but I don’t think it’s a priority for them considering their sales in the US are small compared to other areas.

          I wasn’t originally planning on attending. However, they asked me to moderate one of the seminars so decided to attend.

          But there’s no way going to see the whole show and have no illusions of writing a total show report.
