Rocky Mountain Audio Fest was a resounding success. There was a lot going on with Nordost at RMAF this year, so hopefully you were able to enjoy all of it. Nordost installed a world-class system in the Humboldt Peak room, including gear from dCS, CH-Precision, and VPI, loudspeakers from YG Acoustics, and of course a full loom of Nordost’s Supreme Reference, Odin 2<\/a> Cables.<\/p>\n

Humboldt Peak was also the site of our turntable master-classes\u2014 a real treat for RMAF attendees\u2014 hosted by editor of The Audio Beat, Roy Gregory.<\/p>\n

Over at CANJAM, Nordost joined forces with Woo Audio to give show-goers the opportunity to perform headphone cable demonstrations for themselves!<\/p>\n

Finally, Nordost arranged a special concert for Rocky Mountain Audio Fest\u2014 a debut performance of a jazz quintet, featuring acclaimed trumpeter, Dave Douglas. Nordost was elated to provide the cabling for, and sponsor, two amazing performances where attendees and industry friends could enjoy never-before heard compositions by Dave Douglas, as well as songs available in Newvelle Records’ LP “Piano Noir”.<\/p>\n

Nordost truly had something for everyone this RMAF. If you missed it, here are some photos from these events and more!<\/p>\n
