Part 6: the curtain down
What we have in the end of the CES? We consumers, really do not need it. The reps and the vendors have some use of it but the cost per transaction at the CES actually is very foolish. The very same contacts and the very same...

Well, this is all necessary to make positive waves in audio industry: a stupid design, a barbaric sound and to know which industry ass to kiss. http://www.soundstageglobal.com/index.php/shows-events/ces-2014-las-vegas-usa/152-ces-2014-features/45...

Each year (with a very few exceptions) approximately in the beginning of December, as it's today, I justify for yourself that CES show in Vegas will be a waste of my time and decide do not go. Later on, in the begining of the January, after the holyd...

Thanks, Steve, though I believe you forget to mention to the room number where Alex Peychevs will be demonstrating.

Part 1: The initial associations…(last year CES 2005 at http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?PostID=484)
The CES 2006 was as usually, probably slightly worst then usual subqualified level, somewhere under the bottom of my always foo...

Part 4: AudioThere were very- very few interesting products that attacked my attention.
Steven Klein, the Vibraplane guy form NH, who keep buying the audio toys in Japan and selling them to the Americans for quadruple price this time brought an inte...

To my huge surprise the CES 20005 turned out to be very educational and very beneficial, to me. I actually ‘m glad that I went. I absolutely inspected end up in Vegas with some quite valuable to me observations, conclusions and experiences. Over the ...

A guy I know just went back from West cost and told me about his impression about the CES show he visited. I told him that I am not at very high esteem about the manufactures who waste their money to participate in consumer shows and who chaise the ...

The Federated Mike from Mid West use to post good pictures about his Hi-Fi shows. Nowadays he thinks that his is “a publication” and his pictures are imbedded in some kind of java-crap driven idiotic format that slow like hell and crashes frequen...

I got surprising amount of emails form visitors of my site asking is I will be going to CES-2008. Nope, I am not. My days and interests with CES are over, I closed down that show and I hope the rest of the industry would follow me on it. In fact I ha...

Romy Hi, how can I ensure you will be that bored ( continuing with my inane posts obviously ) half the attraction of going would be meeting you! Gamma's are too big and would take too long to set up I suspect, regards Keith. ...

Music presented at CES 2005 was a disastrer. No one single room that I visited (and I foolishly visited all of them, I think) played any content-loaded music. I’m not talking about the tastes but about value of musical content and the intention of th...

I begun to receive those emails asking where was the best sound and which room sounded the best at the show. Those kind of bogus questions are absolutely irrelevant and have no purpose of meaning. All together: there was no valuable or even interesti...

My prize to the most interesting and educational room at the show goes to a room with WAVAC 833 power SETs. Visiting this room made me to think a lot and made me to draw a lot of very valuable to me conclusions.
I heard a lot about those amps. Recen...

Part 2: MusicWhen I said above that the music played at CES 2006 was the strip-music then I was not lying. I have seen a Moron who was jumping form room to room begging each vendor to play for him the soundtrack of the depth-chargers for U-571 movie....

Part 5: HornsIt was quite bad, bad on all horns…..
The first was the “new horns guy” …

Go today two emails from the site readers with two links to the CES comments.
First one is from Jeffrey Jackson who looks like was recruited by Joe the Uninvolved Archeologist with the room:

There was a big room in there with big Schweikert speakers (with thier grainy and insultingly confident Sound), some king of not particularly good electronics and the entire EMM Labs’ front-end. Many rooms at the show used EMM Labs so-call preamplifi...

[quote user="Saturntube"]Well this is the RCA LC-9A It is identical, with an extra cabinet for an 18" driver... We saw some old time reviewers going out of the room laughing and shaking their heads! We thought they were saying, yes a 50 year ...

"whatever that means" is that most rooms at a trade show are not good. You know this Rommy, I've seen you write it in past posts. I like that Silbatone was trying to demonstrate to the "Wilson Audio" crowd that vintage horns can surpass the latest mu...

I got today an email with reference to ultrahighendforum. I do not read that site as it is where that audio douchebag Oneobgyn, aka Steve Williams, aka Lamm’s Tampon is posting. Still, glancing the pictures and a few comments I did not find it ...

Well, I would say this CES was very low on decent sound. Sometimes I had to fight with the urge to leave a room or two immediately after hearing a few bars of music being played.Still the hope is not lost. At a fringe show at the Flamingo hotel (THE ...

Yes, it is a bit ridicules to have 4 boxes – a clearly money-raising project. Probably Lamm need to make it 2 chassis init with box #5 is to store manuals and box #6 to store the tube replacements. Talking about tube – one gain state with 4 paral...
