A bit of "Good News"
Slated for August 6-8 2021. The Pacific Audio Fest is first and foremost a show by exhibitors for exhibitors.
One of the guiding principles for this show will be to keep the scale manageable for everyone. We envision about eighty rooms as optimal for this type of consumer audio show, and will ensure that the show will not expand far beyond that.

"I Heard It Through the Grapevine..."
Stenheim
"The Stenheim Reference Ultime has leap-frogged a host of well-established competitors to jostle for position right at the head of my list. It is quite capable of shocking, surprising, beguiling or just plain seducing ."
“The real magic of this speaker is in the focusing, layering and vocal presentation. We can say that this monitor excels perfectly in those areas. Voices are unprecedentedly realistic and stable between the speakers and possess a frightening realism.”
Montreal Audio Fest
2019
“The best disappearing act by speakers I heard at this year's show was pulled off by Swiss manufacturer Stenheim's Alumine Two SE ...Wolf Audio's Alpha 3 server & cabling from Bis Audio.”
“There was an effortless delicacy, openness, & scale to the presentation of this system that made music seem to exist on another plane, distinct from that occupied by the system or the speakers.
Had I not had a report to finish, I would have stayed much longer.”

"The TD1601 strikes precisely the right balance between classic values and modern engineering. It offers all the benefits of the best classic Thorens turntables along with very high build quality and significantly improved sound at a very sensible price ... highly recommended!" www.hifi-advice.com-reviews/thorens-td1601
Vinyl Storage Solutions
"The new sleeves are another winning design from Mike at VSS. The crystal clear material really allows colored vinyl and picture discs to take centre-stage. Naturally, part of the great appeal of record collecting is the beautiful artwork and craft of the physical product. It’s about time somebody took it upon themselves to design inner sleeves that enhance, rather than detract from what the artist intended. Well done VSS—keep the innovations coming."
