Masciarotte writes, "Fall in Denver is a glorious time to be on the high plateau, with golden acacia leaves falling like snow, and the real white stuff high on the mountain peaks. This year, the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest (October 7–9) faced quite a challenge, as the promised renovations to its preferred venue had not been completed on schedule. The result: perplexed exhibitors and attendees, with substandard space for exhibitors and poor lighting for all parties in the tent where most headphone vendors were exiled. Still, show traffic was decent but not exceptional, and your intrepid reporter got his harried self to quite a few “rooms” during the three days of the event."
