The first RMAF took place in 2004.

It wasn't a case of sending "someone low on the masthead". As with any
show, covering it requires expense - airfare, hotel, and incidental
expenses - and I wasn't going to invest heavily in our reporting
from a new show until I was convinced it was real. IIRC, Tom Norton
covered the 2005 show for the print magazine and Jason Serinus, who
is Stereophile's primary show reporter, covered the 2006 RMAF on-line
at the link below. We have subsequently reported in depth on every RMAF
since then.
