Anyone going to CAF 2021? Hope it’s still a go. Time to get out and listen to music on various systems.

Hopefully, covid will be calmed down again by then and Canton will have a room with their Reference line well represented.

No pun intended, but I wouldn’t hold your breath on that one (though actually, that would be best).

On another note, I just had an epiphany* last night as to why we’re seeing an increase in highly vaccinated regions of the U.S.; I need to contact CDC.

(*- for those that may not know, I’m a molecular biologist with a degree in Microbiology.)

One does not need to be a molecular biologist to learn from history. History says pandemics do not go away. Bubonic Plague lasted a few hundred years and there are still rare cases these days. HIV took over 20 years to "manage" but not eradicate. COVID is not going away just like any other respiratory virus.

Israel is mostly vaccinated. Why then??? Why are their rates of new infections rising? Well, leaky vaccines certainly are not going to help...

Folks, stay healthy, exercise, eat right, build up your immunity the best you can. Vaccinate if you are in the risk group and get used to the fact that this covid will be around but eventually it will not be looked at any differently than the various flu and pneumonia that take over a million lives a year globally. Yes, there are vaccines available against pneumonia and yet the elderly do not rush out to get them and die....

Good read on variants vs vaccines https://www.jpost.com/health-science...nalysis-676982


If you are curious, look at the vaccination rate of some of the African countries... Less than 2% vaccinated. What does that mean? Are they all going to die? NOPE~

@audio5,

November 5-7, Twinbrook Hilton, Rockville Maryland.
https://www.capitalaudiofest.com/

https://www.capitalaudiofest.com/?pg...f-27e584a22688


4 floors of exhibitors and various music sale vendors.

Welcome to the Capital Audiofest, the East Coast’s Favorite Audio Show! CAF started out in 2010 as a very casual show and has evolved into a well-organized and well-attended event that most everyone in the audio industry knows about. CAF is recognized as a fun, friendly, and family-oriented show, where you often see families strolling from room to room listening to music, auditioning gear, and browsing the multiple bins of vinyl records, CDs and accessories in the Atrium Marketplace. In the evenings we have live music in the bar and special live performers in the Theater, and local distillers offering tastings. CAF is an experience that, once you try it you will feel as though you’re part of the family.


It is the East Coast equivalent to the Pacific Audio Fest. It is the largest audio show in this region, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C.

I usually go for at least a half day with the goal of listening to certain audio vendors and looking for records.
