Ernie and I had the pleasure of spending some time with Mr Weaver at the fest. Have to say he is one heck of a nice guy and is just as passionate about audio as we are.

Damn, wish I'd known - Greg Weaver used to work in an audio store here, helped me along the high-end path. Greg, if you're reading this, greetings from Happy Valley!

More of what we already knew, good to get the word out though! :yes:

Excellent work as usual Dave & Company! :thmbsp:

Very cool!

Great review. Now I better understand what I missed. Where is next year's event?

SIMPILY FLAT OUT AWESOME ARTICLE !!!

Was there any local (Detroit) press there?

Thanks for posting the link, Dave.

Very nice!!

All these great reviews should get archived for next year!

Great post Grumpy....

I'm gonna start saving my penny's for next year!!!!! :yes:

Great write up!

That was great...

Best of all, he really 'gets it'.

I got to try harder and get there. Just spent a couple hours looking at the pics and reading reviews. It is also good to see some of the faces behind the avatars. Where is one of Toze? Haven't been to a show since the late 70's and those where CES and IHF shows. This would be more down to earth. Good to see there was no drinking going on.

:headscrat What pictures were you looking at?

I think after the official closing time every other person had a beer in their hand.

As enjoyable as the article was he should have spent more time in members' rooms listening to AKers gear. That would have made it more interesting for sure!

Nice article. He captured the essence of the Fest.

I, too, really enjoyed the article, and feel that Greg Weaver did a great job of describing just what makes AK-Fest so special. Oh, and Greg just wrote me to say that he enjoyed the show so much that he is already planning on attending again next year. If you didn't get to meet him this time around, make it a point to do so in 2010 - Greg is a terrific guy!

Brian, you got a great write-up. I was glad to see that. I was glad, too, to see that your room system settled in so nicely. It did sound great on Sunday. You have every right to be proud.

Well, between you and me (and I guess everyone else here), I always feel a bit insecure going into these shows. I try hard to put together a synergistic and musical system each year - and I strive to bring something completely different each and every time - but all I really know before the show begins is that I've got a system and a sound that pleases ME. Thus, the positive feedback (no pun intended here) is always gratifying.

WOW! Thats a Great review. I have got to be there next year for sure!! Even though I did not get to attend I would like to thank Dave and Ernie and the whole Crew for outstanding effort to put on such an obviously great event!

Where is one of Toze?

Go to Botrytis' photo album:http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showpost.php?p=2721667&postcount=1

In the last picture, 'Toze is the guy on the left in a blue shirt and white hair. The guy accepting the $94 for the 50/50 drawing is me. :D

That was an engaging and (for the most part) well-written piece.
