SCHAUMBURG, IL -- The principals of Audio Expo North America (AXPONA), held at the Renaissance Hotel, had recently announced that they will be moving their show to the fall after being "...encouraged by many exhibitors in recent years to move far away from Munich, to add a trade day and to make it easier for international vendors to exhibit." However, after complaints of disruption of fall schedules and inordinate burdens on merchants, they have decided to return to hosting AXPONA to the month of April.
Summing up, they wrote the following in a press release: "The most important goal for AXPONA is to serve the audio community and to provide the best possible venue and timing every year for the industry to gather and experience great systems, great products, great music and great comradery. We look forward to seeing you April 12-14, 2019."

20 Percent Discount Download Available for Prairie Audio Man Cave Readers through October 31, 2018 Text and Photos Juan C. Ayllon Anthony Wilson Trio. Savivity. Groove Note Records. NativeDSD.com. October 18, 2005. Available in DSD 64, 128 and 256, as well as biaural, stereo and multi-channel.
I know that Anthony Wilson was Diana Krall’s longstanding, pedigreed guitarist, but from the first luscious licks on his hollow body guitar in the bluesy, perky mid-tempo “Fleur d’Ennui,” I sit amazed. Mark Ferber’s ride cymbals join in, and Joe Bagg’s Hammond B-3 comps, laying down a wondrous backdrop to Wilson’s virtuosic lead, then several measures later, serves up a sassy, solo with equal aplomb. The two engage in an intoxicating dialog rounded out by Ferber’s toms, ride and crash cymbals, making this a thoroughly satisfying and savory sonic appetizer that could easily be a meal, but tantalizes about what lies ahead in the rest of their album, Savivity. They don’t disappoint. While the bluesy “Fleur d’Ennui” eases us in, the Bebop “All the Things that You Are” takes us into the deep end, showcasing Wilson’s and Bagg’s scintillating chops, as well as Ferber’s outstanding drum soloing skills. I find myself transported to The Green Mill Cocktail Lounge, reaching for one of my friend Joe’s Marlboros. It’s that good. Press Invited to the Inaugural Trade and Press Day at AXPONA 2020 SCHAUMBURG, IL (September 10, 2018) - - AXPONA (Audio Expo North America) is pleased to announce its permanent home at the first-class Renaissance Schaumburg venue in the Chicago area, facilitating a transition to fall dates and accommodating a new dedicated "Trade Day" beginning in 2020.

"We've been listening to our customers and industry leaders for years and have been strongly advised to move AXPONA's dates further away from the Munich High-End show in May and to add a separate day exclusively for trade professionals and the press,” says Liz Miller, VP and Event Director, AXPONA. “We were thrilled with the positive feedback we received regarding our new Schaumburg home in 2018.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL -- On Sunday, September 9th, Dr. Tetsuo Kubo from Haniwa Audio in Japan and Bob Bean from Haniwa Audio USA will be presenting at the Chicago Audio Society. Dr. Kubo is the founder and designer of Haniwa Audio. The company has received acclaim for their unique moving-coil cartridge designs and is now introducing an entire complete analog and digital system based on Dr. Kubo's ongoing research and development.
Every component (except the digital source) at the meeting is a unique Haniwa product. They will present “A Systems Approach to Audio” where every step in the signal chain is controlled to faithfully reproduce the incoming music signal at the speaker system. The Haniwa integrated control preamplifier-amplifier uses proprietary Haniwa technology to control the frequency and phase (timing) of the incoming music signal so that music is precisely reproduced at the speaker. The technology behind Haniwa will be discussed and demonstrated and audience members will listen to some hi-res (and vinyl!) music on the system. |
