CES has become a major embarrasment for this hobby

Based on the dozens of show reports I have read, CES really represents the worst this hobby has to offer.

Audio journalists running around and just like good little puppies, happily reporting on the newest $20,000 interconnects, $35,000 DACs, $38,000 CD players, and yes, now, $50,000 equipment racks, yes you read that right, a $50,000 rack from Magico.

Excuses made for bad sounding rooms, regurgitating marketing drivel offered up by snake oil salesmen, and even worse nonsense.

Manufacturers and their buzz words, chasing hot trends.

The sad things is, as discussed here, there have never been more great sounding, solidly engineered, reasonably priced audio equipment available.
