    It's a great time to be there for beer. The Great American Beer Festival falls on the same weekend this year so there will be special beer events happening all over town.

    FYI, that is Downtown Denver. But isn't that why they invented uber? And the actual event tends to sell out quickly.

    Have not heard of any events near the RMAF location at least not in the last several years.

    does this mean you and @baldr want another belgian growler from 12 Degree delivered to your table?
    that WILL (again) be the best beer you find near RMAF. yet over lunches it's been told than @Hands and I drink too much tequila and start asking @Tyll Hertsens about garters and stockings instead of measurements...

    tip: GABF will be sold out within minutes of tickets being online. if time allowed, organizing an Uber caravan to the best 2-3 brew places in Denver is a better/longer night plan.

    Tyll I'm sure you'll have plenty to listen to but could you take a listen to the latest Audio Zenith PMx2 if possible? Id love to know what you think.

    Thanks!

    Woohoo, it's getting pretty close to RMAF.

    Who is up for lunch on Saturday at 11:30 at Pint Brothers Alehouse in the hotel? If no interest, I'll just move on.

    A european crystal ball gazer indicated a new Focal headphone to be made public on 6th of October (which coincides with RMAF event).
    Please take it for what it is, a rumor posted by someone who seems to have good connections.

    Well, getting closer! Has anyone started a private conversation - I assume that's what was meant by "private chat" for RMAF?

    Also, for those that go, please stop by room 551 to listen some New Mexico equipment! Mojo Audio will be there, but I imagine many of you have heard their stuff. What I'd love to get your opinion on is Tony's stuff from Exit Level Audio. The Annapurna tube is what I'm referring to. Tony lives just 40 minutes away in Santa Fe, and I've heard one of his amps. It's a thing of physical beauty, and sounded great.

    They will have a MrSeaker electrostatic and with a prototype amp.

    From Axpona 2017, they won The Absolute Sound's "Best of Show (cost no object)".

    Best Sound (cost no object): Mojo Audio had the best sound I heard at the show. The system consisted of Mojo Audio’s Déjà Vu Music Server ($3,499.95 base price) connected to the Mystique v3 DAC ($4,999.95) connected to the Ampuurna tube-based, single-stage headphone amplifier ($16,000–$30,000) driving a pair of HiFiMan HE-1000 V2 headphones ($2999).

    How about on Saturday we meet in room 1104 at 11:00am and listen to the these new Tekton speakers that are supposed to redefine audio, then go to lunch.

    If we have more than 9, I can change the reservation.

    I made reservation for 11:30 for nine people, so if anyone else wants to join us, you are more than welcome. If you get there before me, the reservation is in my name.
    I imagine we could fit more, if we had to. We will be in their "private dining room", so hopefully we can hear each other talk.

    Who else?

    What are the odds of brothers with the last name "Pint" opening an Alehouse! Amazing!
