Part 3: Sound
The sound generally at CES was disgusting. There were virtually no rooms with something that might be marginally conceded interesting. There were some more or less interesting episodes, though… All interesting episodes, no mater how few there were, took place at St Tropez hotel (the location of T.H.E Show). The St Tropez’s neighbor – the Alexis Park hotel (the location of the CES Show) was in deep deep deep deep ***. No single installation in Alexis Park sound even remotely worth more $50. I am not kidding. In fact each and single installation in Alexis Park sounded absolutely identical: superbly comparers, with very-very muggy upper bass, with ears-wrenching upper midrange harshness and with complete discoloration of notes. The Alexis Park’s was a magnificent illustration what electricity might do to sound (I presume it was it). No one talks about it seriously, not one trying to understand what is going on with electricity, there is no attention or remedy to the problems. Very unfortunate… The very few manufactures that work with the domain of filtering, isolation or regeneration of power source but they are not at the level whey they should be. Their devises curing one of the minute aspects of power aggravation unfortunately destroy entire Sound as a side affect.
The St Tropez’s sound also snuffed from electricity but it was rather temporarily and when you were lucky to listen something between the electricity’s anxiety attacks then it sounded as it should… well, as much as the given playback installation allowed it to be…
