Has it really been 28 years? T.H.E. Show will be returning to the Hilton Orange County Hotel in Costa Mesa, California, from June 7-9th, 2024. Not only is T.H.E. Show the longest running Hi-Fi event in America, but this year’s event promises to be even larger than last year.

The show this year will be spread across 7 floors of ballrooms and demonstration rooms and there is already a rather impressive lineup of manufacturers confirmed.

We’ve confirmed that a select number of brands that exhibited last year will be back — including Gryphon Audio, Estelon, PBN, TAD, ATC, AGD Productions, Triangle Art, SVS and RSL Speakers. In total, over one hundred luxury audio brands will be exhibiting the latest in high-end audio components, headphones, turntables, loudspeakers, and more.

Although there will be no shortage of state-of-the-art five and six figure stereo systems on display — attendees will no longer struggle to find affordable high-end systems at an industry trade show. If you are considering your first high-end system — T.H.E. Show SoCal 2024 will most certainly offer systems anyone can afford.

“We are thrilled to celebrate our 28th year,” said Emiko E. Carlin, President of T.H.E. Show. “Year after year, our team brings together passionate audiophiles and industry professionals, creating an environment of innovation, discovery, and camaraderie. We look forward to welcoming seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike to experience the magic of T.H.E. Show. Moreover, we recognize and rejoice in how much we have grown beyond being an annual audio event. With the launch of our record label last year, our FM radio show headed into syndication across multiple states, and our award-winning documentary film, ’T.H.E. Human Side’ now in almost 200 million homes across the world, we are delighted to see our mission to bridge the gap between music creation and music listening be realized. Furthermore, it’s so heartwarming to know T.H.E. Show is where people come to explore and learn why HiFi is so valuable. We love that we’ve successfully created an ecosystem in which ‘HiFi’ and ‘audiophile’ are not just terms to define audio, they have become states of being and ways of life for everyone.”

    I have been attending T.H.E. Show for over a decade with my daughter who is now 17. I have always enjoyed that families are always welcome and noticed there is a family pass ticket this year. I am excited to enjoy another year of Hi-Fi, friends and audio education @ T.H.E. Show this year.
