True, but how many utterly bloodless, cookie cutter, just the facts, ma'am show reports written by paid journos have you suffered through?
Give it a B+, then.
Keep your ears and your mind open.

And you should be, Cope is one smart, experienced dude.
Hey Dave, how ya been?
Thank you for the B+. I am definitely not a professional journalist.
I was not sure at first how to describe my experience at the show without pictures.
Then...I recalled one of the discs that I brought to the show with me (that sounded really good in the Odyssey room), Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition."
Mussorgsky describes the paintings that he see's in a friend's gallery show through music. I love the way that "Pictures at an Exhibition" musically invites you to "walk" with Mussorgsky through the show. I borrowed some of his repeated musical phrases...leitmotifs that he uses to invite his listener along...such as the door metaphor...trying to achieve the same thing.
Alas, I don't have the great artist's skill, but I am nevertheless honored to receive a B+ from you.
A clue, perhaps?
Sorry Dave but you certainly get credit for going the extra step to check a profile.Actually I was an urban planner and that involved writing many technical study reports. I had two bosses who were sticklers for clarity and writing style so maybe some of that rubbed off. Or possibly I was simply in a grumpy mood when I read the OP. ;^)
And since I have a copy of "The Missing Manual" I can suggest you do a fair job with clarity and style yourself.

Pretty funny, though, all things considered :-)
Somewhere I read the other Dave Pogue, the Mac tech writer, was also an audio hobbyist. So I jumped to the conclusion you were him.
Now had I read your Profile I would have known better. ;^)

Did any of you guys hear a cd/sacd player (s) worth noting?
SACD was noticeably absent from the show. I saw no SACD players or software.
The CD player in Odyssey's 2nd room impressed me though. It looked like one of Klaus Bunge's designs.
Thank You!
