Capital Audiofest 2024

I enjoy attending the Capital Audiofest as it’s retained small show good vibes even though it’s no longer a small show.

Favorites are fun, Bests are boasts.

Hifi is inextricably connected to people. The people who design and make it, the people who distribute it, the people who sell it, and the people who buy and enjoy it.

“Do you have anything new?” is the most popular and most annoying question asked at hifi shows.

Gershman Acoustics’ 30th Anniversary Black Swan Speakers will see their official launch at CAF 2024.

Tasty.

Berlin’s Voxativ always gets great show sound in my experience, an accomplishment that is not, I repeat not, a given.

Where “C” = Clock and “D”=DAC.

Dealer Now Listen Here has two locations—Harrisburg, PA and Falls Church, VA—and they’ll be showing a bevy of new gear at CAF 2024 in two rooms.

With the Capital Audiofest just days away—November 8-10—the itch for the new gets itchier.

Forté Distribution, the exclusive US distributor for Eversolo, will be bringing that company’s new flagship DMP-A10 Streaming DAC/DDC/Preamp to CAF for its US debut.

I’ve seen photos of the sand cast aluminum and bronze clad Galle DAC from Portugal’s Cinnamon Audio that certainly grabbed my (aesthetic) attention.

If you read my recent review of the QLN Reference 9 loudspeakers or their Prestige 5 (review), you know I enjoyed both. A lot.

I always enjoy me some Harbeth.

If you’ve never experienced a Zu room at a hifi show, you don’t know what you’re missing.
