RMAF 07: Ragan Mena Reports

Untitled-24-2

So what if the Colorado Rockies were swept by the Boston Red Sox in the World Series. Look on the bright side Denver, They did clinch the NL Pennant and this years Rocky Mountain Audio Festival was bigger and better than ever. Suck it up and just repeat the old Cubbies adage, “There’s always next year.” As for the 2007 RMAF, those of us who made the pilgrimage to the Denver Marriot Tech Center, we were rewarded with great sound, great company, and interesting seminars led by industry professionals. Besides the central theme of 2ch music, this year’s festival had a much welcomed showcase of manufactures, distributors, and dealers with digital music on the brain. Everyone knows the mood-altering benefits of vinyl music, but it was nice to see emphasis placed on digital music in a good way. (Bye-bye MP3, Hello FLAC) The only bad thing about the show was its enormous size. Wait, isn’t that a good thing? So many rooms, so little time, perhaps next year I’ll start hitting up manufactures in the parking lot….Enjoy the eye candy!
