Saxon Hall Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 They had a half assed show in Sydney earlier this year that seemed to go down like a lead balloon. It was a lot different to previous years from all accounts. IIRC
Steam Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 The previous one in Melbourne was didn't seem to be well attended. At least not when I was there.
Guest guru Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Numbers for melbourne were fine. Don't know when you were roaming but no complaints from the exhibitors.
Saxon Hall Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Numbers for melbourne were fine. Don't know when you were roaming but no complaints from the exhibitors. As you have exhibited there would you have any info on whether there will be another one in Melbourne next year and what format it would be? Similar to previous ?
To Die For Posted September 27, 2015 Author Posted September 27, 2015 Hope for the audio industry is not dying.
Saxon Hall Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Hope for the audio industry is not dying. The Audio industry will not die but it will become a little island in an ocean of mediocrity. The people who actually care about quality music reproduction will keep it alive 1
Guest guru Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 as to the format if Melbourne goes ahead next year, I would think the same format as previous years but maybe with a focus on new technology as a way of engaging new punters.

Yes I think that is a necessity to attract a younger demographic.

darth vader Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I'm pissed. I was looking forward to it. Me too, I was planning this as my first show. Guess I'll just have to wait now.. (insert sad smiley here)

Dean Gale Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 In this country "Consumer Nervosa" exists because the hobby is regarded as elitist and snobby. I'm in my mid 50's and most if not all of my friend's think " Oh, I couldn't afford it and b) what a waste of money". The destruction of sound quality downloads , think ITunes, has contributed to the perception " why would you bother anyway ". Dealer's with signs By appointment only, don't help. There needs to be a major shake up in the marketing of our hobby. One which is active and inclusive of all interested parties. I have seen some efforts on social media , but it's pretty paltry. Why not have a completion where a random person is selected to win a well thought rig, based around computer audio, on a "like and share " basis. It's called base level Networking, it's cheap and effective. Sent from my SM-T113 using Tapatalk 2
mwhouston Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Those snobs drive around in Lambos, where Rolex and eat caviar for breakfast. Different strokes for different blokes. Anywho I dont give a rats. I build all my own. I enjoy reading about high priced, oh I mean, high-end gear though.
