This is a San Francisco Bay Area event in Emeryville, CA - July 19-21

I may not attend just because the "official" website is actually hosted at dagogo.com and one of the worst sites for pop-up ads and spammy links.

Hard to figure out just who the exhibitors will be. The only link that I could find with some info is here:
https://www.dagogo.com/2024-california-audio-show-rooms/

But it's just a list of exhibitors that I can hardly figure out with all the abbreviations and acronyms.

Here is my copy and paste after bypassing all the ads:

Gold Ballroom: Sound Lab as represented by Sound Lab Elecrostat Japan, Dr. Vinyl, MA Recordings.

Platinum Ballroom: HighResHiFi presenting Final electrostatic speakers in stereo and Dolby Atmos 11.2 multichannel setups.

Parlor Suite 1107: Audio Cafe. System: Clarisys Piccolo ribbon speaker system, WestminsterLab REI pure class A monoblocks, WestminsterLab Quest preamp, WestminsterLab Autria Alloy cable system, LampizatOR DAC.

Room 1116: Bricasti Design.

Room 1120: Audience AV & Atma-Sphere. System: Audience AV ClairAudient 1+1 v5 mini-monitors, Audience AV frontRow cable system, Atma-Sphere MP-3 Balanced tube preamplifier, Atma-Sphere GaN-FET Class D monoblocks, MSB DAC.

Room 1211 Parlor Suite: Gestalt Audio / Wolf von Langa speakers, Lotus Group / SW1X Audio Design AMP V “Titan” SP DHT integrated amplifier, VDT IV valve digital transport player & music streamer, Pranawire cable system.

Room 1218: Audio Note UK. System: AN-E/SPx Ltd Field Coil speakers, TT Three with PSU4, ARM Three, IO Gold and AN-S9 SUT, CD3.1X/II. US premier: Meishu Kapellmeister.

Kind of a thin list, but it's only $30 for all three days.
Audio Note and Atmasphere are the only ones so far I might want to check out.

A member of our family had requested us to go to San Francisco, so we did. Upon our return home, we proceeded to remove our shoes, rinsed our eyes well, and shampooed with bleach. That was more than twenty-five years ago. Now is unimaginable. gorilla tag

Technically "he" is a bot, not a person, but I share your displeasure. I remember the good ol days when we had a guy (actual person, not a bot) to deal with the issue .

Given the variety of exhibitors, it might be worth attending to see how these systems sound in person, especially if you're interested in audiophile gear. Even though the list feels a bit sparse, the quality of the gear showcased by brands like Atma-Sphere and Audio Note is often worth checking out.
