RMAF 2008 - A Photo Essay of
Sorts...
Wow, another year and this show just keeps getting better, and better, and better, and ... better. More rooms, more gear, more music, more people... more tired! What can we say? The show is the place to be and while some rooms strained to make music, the majority did so in ways that were very enjoyable. Here is our report... not so much on what sounded good and not so good ...it is a show after all and sometimes things just don't work out as one would be hoping... but simply images of what we saw and a little on what we did.
Wadia electronics on Grand Prix stands. Shown in the middles is the Wadia iPod dock. These were used everywhere....

Business was brisk in the software room.
