“AXPONA is a great event with knowledgeable customers who appreciate high quality records! We can’t wait check out some great equipment too,” said Steve Young, Record Wonderland.

“The greatest value of exhibiting at AXPONA as a manufacturer is the opportunity to meet face-to-face in person with our end users. Starke Sound looks forward to shaking hands, talking, and, most importantly, listening to the attendees to get to know them on a more personal level so we can improve our products and satisfy their needs,” said Scott DeLoache, Starke Sound Inc.

“Sierra Sound is a distributor of products such as Benz Micro phonograph cartridges and AMG turntables, who will be introducing a new model at AXPONA. We want to use our exhibit room to highlight our strict focus on analog audio with a multi-source vinyl-only selection of music, including some material outside the realm of traditional audiophile music. We hope to connect with analog lovers of all stripes, to share our love of this wonderful medium,” said Michael Fajen, Sierra Sound.

“We decided to join the exhibitors at AXPONA because we sell high quality vinyl, original pressings, and people who invest in high end audio equipment look for that. We especially have a large selection of Japanese Pressings, they are known for their quality,” said Geert Jonckers, PictureSleeve45s.

“Even before starting our company, MACO™, we had the goal to one day present at the biggest audio show in North America. Two years after being established, here we are. It’s been quite a ride, and we couldn’t be happier!,” said Deborah Ann, MACO Acoustics.
