HiFi Highlights And Best Of Show | AXPONA 2024

The Occasional Podcast: Now on iTunes!

North America’s biggest audio show is behind us, but coverage continues to roll out all week on the site, video channels and even our audiophile-oriented podcast. Host Brian Hunter is joined this week by the entire PTA AXPONA 2024 press team, including Editor-In-Chief Marc Phillips, Graig Neville, Grover, and Matthew Partrick.

The crew discuses all the good and bad from the show, including their picks for best-of-show for the Chicago-based event. This behemoth of a high-end get-together brought out some great rarities that we don’t usually see this side of the pond, over 10k attendees and product releases from all over the world – a must listen if you are in the market for some new gear.

Room-by-room video coverage of all the AXPONA 2024 highlights can be found on our newly relaunched YouTube channel.

The Occasional Podcast has launched into its 10th season with the intensity of a well fed speaker tap. Expect new interviews, deep dives and show coverage all season long.
