RMAF 2017: Grab Bag
At the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Denver, Colorado, there are always lots of products that don’t fit the categories I usually focus on, but which merit audiophiles’ attention nonetheless. Here are the most interesting ones I found, from headphone pads and AC regenerators to things that are way too complicated to describe in one sentence. All prices in USD.

RMAF 2017: Audio Electronics, Part 1
The 2017 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest showcased a wide variety of new audio products shown for the very first time in public (or at least for the first time in the US). Of course, there were lots of new amplifiers and other audio electronics on display. I probably saw only a fraction of them, but here’s the first batch of electronic components that most caught my interest, with all prices in USD.

RMAF 2017: Speakers, Part 1
The 2017 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest has just wrapped up as I write this. It’s one of the best places in the world for audiophiles to hear the latest in speakers, and even though my time at this year’s show was rather short, I did get to see and hear quite a few interesting models making their debut in the US (or in a few cases, worldwide). I’ve already covered Focal’s new Kanta No2 speaker, and here are some of the other interesting new models I saw at RMAF. All prices in USD.

RMAF 2017: Headphones and Earphones, Part 1
The 2017 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, held at the Denver Marriott Tech Center in Denver, Colorado, incorporates a separate headphone show called CanJam, an event that also takes place in six other cities around the world at various times of the year. The RMAF edition of CanJam is probably the biggest headphone show in the world for audiophile headphones, countless samples of which were on demo in one of the Marriott’s large ballrooms and in other locations.

RMAF 2017: Focal Launches Kanta Speaker Line
Focal kicked off the 2017 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Denver, Colorado, with what it said was the first worldwide product launch it has made in the United States. The new Kanta No2 speaker represents a simultaneously more modern but less expensive take on the company’s popular Sopra line. The No2 is the first speaker in the Kanta line -- others will follow. Kanta derives from the Spanish word for sing.
