    Sounds cool Darryl, wish I could attend the shootout. Looking forward to reading listening impressions and seeing some photos.

    Did read this right, that you're going to have your own hotel room setup with a high end system as well? So cool. :D

    Let's not risk getting tossed out this year. I'm surprised they are even letting us back after the shenanigans last year.

    Totally agree Skip, the LSAF is the best thing that has ever happen to me. I worship this show and what it means to the Audio group. And I thank you and you Texas Boyz for sharing it with me! So many of the old Regulars at the LSAF are so special and have made this show a joy to my ear's and heart!
