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...

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:

"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 ...

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...

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...

[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 ...

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...

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...

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?!!...

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...

Lamm juts announced the “Wold Premier of Lamm ML3 Signature single-ended triode moonoblocks” at CES 2008. It will be paired with large Wilsons in 2500sq feet room. To drive 95dB sensitive speaker with 32W in 2500sq feet is a sizable task but it will ...

The subject of this head is not the Continuum Turntable but rather the little frighten Moron with sentimental name Michael Fremer. It is important to note that Michael Fremer is not just a Moron own problems but the persons who is with his proactive ...

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...

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...

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...

[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...

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...

CES Report,,,, AUDIOVOX is in position to purchass KLIPSCH GROUP... So far its a none binding talk.....

Romy,I heard these speakers and I thought they sounded excellent compared to most of the crap at the show. Even better were are pair of original Western Electric 757A two way monitors that were running in the other room. No bass below 50-60HZ, but vo...

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...

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...
