Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2019 was an interesting journey. From a personal perspective, I had a great time, seeing friends, people like Jameson Mourafetis of F1 Audio, Eric Franklin Shook of Part-Time Audiophile and many others.

iFi has been busy cooking up several new lines of product this year. At RMAF this year they were showing a soon to be released set of products dubbed the ‘Zen’ line. The Zen series is set for an October release date and includes two products; the ZenBlue and ZenDAC.

My first stop at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2019 was the headphone area and Astell & Kern’s booth.

I recently attended Summer NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) in Nashville, Tennessee. NAMM may be an unfamiliar name to you – it's a professional audio and music equipment convention, not consumer. And while the music industry has its own issues, if you want to see more diverse crowds, go to the pro-audio world. What you’ll also find in the pro-audio world is a lot of discussion about music, gear and audio that is friendly and open, even when people are disagreeing.
