FLAX Day One | Michael Fremer Reports

If you missed the Florida International AUDIO EXPO (Feb. 21st-23) this video takes you there. Many new products were introduced and many familiar ones were on display as well.

A new, larger venue—The Sheraton Tampa Brandon made for a much bigger and better show. Attendance was strong throughout and everyone involved seemed happy with the results. According to show organizers attendance increased by 18% over last year, bringing the show’s total growth to greater than 40% over the past two years.

My biggest complaint is that while there were more than a few turntables on display, few exhibitors brought many (or any) records and some had static displays and were more interested in streaming files. The old days of bringing great records and exciting attendees seems a thing of the past, which is really sad and self-defeating in my opinion. To generate enthusiasm you have to be enthusiastic!

So here’s 45 minutes of show video, more to come.
