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...

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 ...

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...

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...

|
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...

Bruce Edgar room was probably the only rooms at the entire show where form my prospective it was possible to begin to talk about "pure audio", so I will.
Bruce picked and smartly holds at "The Show" a wondefull room, the small room, but fr...

Someone stopped me at the Alexis Park and told me: “Romy, there is a new Israeli guy in town with his amassing horn. He has a room at the St. Tropes and you should go”. I was almost offended! There was a new horn guy and I never insulted him?!!...

Unquestionably it was Clark Johnson with his ultimate cure for CD misery. Clark is balanced mentally and psychologically (as far as a person who professionally spent tens years in the audio industry could be balanced) but when he showed me his new di...

The most interesting sensation was ironically the very best sound at the show.
Friday night around 2AM I found myself completely lost in the Nevada desert approximately 40-50 mines from Vegas. To understand how it was it should be explained that the...

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...
|
|
Actually it was not only the best worst amplifier at CES but it was the best worst amplifier I even heard in my life.
So what happen between the WAVAC 833 and Sound? A lot of quite unique things…
A spoke at the show with a friend of my who presumab...
|
|
For whatever reasons the trip to that WAVAC room and listing that WAVAC 833 made me think a lot about a needs of music understanding for audio professional. This is an old subject but after me getting my WAVAC 833 experience I got a deferent sweeping...

Has anyone tried the MSB 'Platinum series' Dac's? I heard the most grain free digital I can recall coming from a MSB Platinum III Dac at the CES show. It was directly feeding MSB amps and on some prototype MSB speakers with 5" ceramic mid and di...

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 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 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 fe...

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...

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

[quote user="smilin"]Romy, you screwed up big time, you did not visit room 1805, APL HiFi.....This room was the BEST sound at the show. I gave you info, inviting you to see the future. Too bad you did not visit. I thought you were seeking top notch M...

Romy will you visit next years CES ,2008? Regards Keith....

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. ...

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...
