Nostalgia ain't the driving force. It's sound quallity. A good vinyl rig kicks the snot out of a good CD rig several to many times the vinyl rig's cost. I've seen it, heard and demonstrated it over and over and over. Audio Note digital gear is probably the part of the line up we get the interest in, and for good reason, but at shows we play vinyl till somebody asks if they can hear a CD. I expect this will be case at GPAF, the question is with what and by whom? With the schedule conflict vis-a-vis VTV and the incremental distance/time/cost involved, it's quite possible that Peter Qvortrup, owner, designer and major domo at Audio Note UK will be at GPAF while I may do the NY/NJ show. For Peter, the diff between flying London to NJ or OK is not that big. For me, OK is 24 hours of driving vs 4 hours to NJ.
The "with what" part refers to the fact that I tend to show the mid-range stuff while Peter tends to show the no holds barred goodies. Dunno. Haven't figured it out yet. But one of us will be there one way or another.
