Kamran was the perfect moderator for this fireside chat. What a natural!  You would think that he does this for a living. I see a second career here...

My first time attending DECFEST and I'm so glad I did! What a nice bunch of audiophiles with a wonderful sense of community. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, and it boosted my sprits tremendously to be there. Much appreciated!

Thx mambacfa! I’m flattered! Just passionate about the hobby!

I’m also trying to connect the dots since yours is a new username on the forum.  Feel free to PM me, if you prefer.  

I’m working on my post Decfest summary post, which I guess, is also becoming a bit of a tradition now.

Cheers!

Hope all are enjoying Decfest 2024. My wife and I are traveling through Greece. Just spent 5 days on Paros, now heading for Naxos on the ferry. Opa, Opa.

So far my listening has been limited primarily to downloaded playlists on Qobuz via my Nura Pro IEM's. Excellent SQ given it's via Bluetooth.

Didn’t finish watching all the Decfest streams yet, but it looked like a great group of guys and a good time.  I was able to SoundHound a few played tracks that I really enjoyed, and added them to my Qobuz collection.  Looking forward to the post Decfest feedback from the forum members.

I enjoyed watching the stream, off and on, too Dom.

Steve, what kind of microphones are you using for the stream? It sounded really good!

And thanks for the pics and updates Kamran. I look forward to yours (and anyone else’s) summary of the fest.

Best,

Geno

Wrecked—Part 1

So much to unpack…where do I even begin?  

Maybe I’ll do this in two parts.  Part 1 is dedicated to the folks who were there.

Steve, DeVon, Sarah, and the Decware family

I hate to sound like a broken record each year, but your hospitality is key in making every fest a memorable one.  This year was no exception.  The highlight of the fest was the minion dance at the tail end of Sunday overlooking a rainbow colored fire on a catchy beat coming from some insanely good speakers.  For folks wondering what the heck I’m talking about—well let’s just say that you had to be there…

Steve—thanks for granting me yet another opportunity to conduct a fireside chat and for being so generous with your knowledge. I learned a lot and I’m hoping it was equally as compelling to the attendees.

Dan: First of all, sorry for not getting to say bye properly last night, but most importantly—- Congrats on getting engaged!!!! So so happy for you guys! I know you’re eagerly awaiting your turn on the list for the Sarah 300B, but you’re also well placed to kill that time with your Torii and 25th Anniversary amps.  Hang on to that feeling of anticipation—-you’ll miss it!

Tom—it was good seeing you (albeit briefly) and getting an update on your rig!  I’m stoked that you’re so happy and content with your system.  That’s the place to be—-to just enjoy music!

Spencer—thanks a lot for taking pictures and recording that clip at the fireside chat—it is always a pleasure to learn about your multiple systems…Oh and if you needed a hand or foot model for your next marketing campaign, hit me up!

Bob—it was a pleasure hanging out with you second fest in a row.  Our rigs are very similar and will be even more, when you get your Fast 15 drivers! Hopefully, we can manage to make CAF work in a couple of weeks—stay strong brother—-from the bad influencers, lol!

Steve—hope you get your Rachael soon even though you talked me out of getting one 2 years ago! It remains one of the best audio recs I have received to date!

John—safe travels back to Indianapolis!  The record you played on Friday was amazing.  Please let me know what album it was.

Randy—the man, the myth, the legend! Your playlists are to die for and contribute to making the festival so compelling each year.  I was a little worried not having you at the shed, but you were doing your magic in the main listening room and not once did I see you sit at the sweet spot—giving it up for the fest attendees and just playing track after track of great music!

Abhishek—it was a pleasure meeting you.  Congrats on starting your tube journey and snagging up the auctioned SE84UFO2 earlier this year—-she is a beauty! Hope to see you more engaged in the forums and soak up knowledge from the members.  I learned a lot from them and still continue to do so.

Steve (with the nice sports jacket) — it was a pleasure getting to know you sir! Found multiple common grounds w.r.t East Coast life and some overlap professionally as well.

Danish Dude with the Awesome beard—Sorry, I didn’t catch your name but it was fun talking about turntables.  It was a discussion I was meaning to have anyways so it was perfect timing!

This list obviously does not cover everyone but hopefully gets the point across—-I loved our respective interaction and I look forward to engaging with you either on the forum or at a future Decfest.
