Re: Our 2003 Las Vegas CES and T.H.E. Show Report (long)

"Nice to meet you and your better half! "

Great to meet you, as well. She's my better half but don't you let HER know that! ;-)

"We had an absolute ball at the CES......I came down with a virus about the time I was supposed to be leaving Houston ..."

As I pop zinc and echinacea pills and try to drown my sore throat I cast a suspicious stare in your general direction...:-) Glad you seemed to have recovered by the time the show really started going; it is one of my greatest fears that I will be sick at a show and ruin the experience, especially after taking the all the trouble to get off my rear and actually make the effort of attending...

"...so I didn't arrive until late on Tuesday to plug
in the digital system which takes 48 hours to start behaving....The system started coming together late Thursday night and finally developed some proper imaging Saturday and was finally putting out
acceptable high-end sound Saturday/Sunday.....I wondered at the time if the Sound Lab speakers don't have a warm-up characteristic as they were plugged in late on Wednesday and the sound didn't start
working until very late Friday....."

That is the scuttlebutt I am hearing as well and we regret not getting back there...

"Oh, heard the Rockport speakers with some high current solid state amps on Wednesday and they were making the walls suck in and out.......That system that few heard
got my vote for best of show....... "

Darn. People ask us, publically and privately, if we have heard X and Y...

We say: no

They say: Oh it was so very excellent!

We say: Darn, we just HAVE to do a better job next year of hearing more rooms!

It is like, say, finishing a pint of Hagen Daz Vanilla ice cream and THEN remembering one had bought some imported chocolate syrup to dose it with... There is this feeling of... regret and wishing one could turn back the clock.... :-)
