Parts 1, 2 and 3 of my CES overview are now posted on my blog, for
anyone interested.

Part 3 is exclusively about the audio products at the show that were on
the floor (didn't get much time in the hi-end area).

Ahh, some news. Especially G4 which typically talked about laptops and cell phones.
But what about "The Show" were most of the good audio stuff is? Was it at Alexis Park
like always ??

I'll pretty much concur with Bobby's report. There were several oddly
shaped speakers there, mostly either resembling the human hearing
chain or a jazz player's idea for a hybrid brass instrument made of
plastic so it'll be lighter.

The Venetian had room after room of speaker after speaker, all of
which sounded pretty decent, none of which I would consider paying the
price to have in my home. And in the rooms that weren't showing
speakers, they were showing cables. One display from a company who
made everything they were showing - speakers, amplifier, CD player,
and cables, had cables about as big around as my arm going from their
power distribution box, and a star ground made with ordinary #12 solid
electrical wire, which looked like it was added at the last minute
since it was external to the cable jackets.

There were a couple of standard Home Depot grade extension cords
plugged into the wall outlet. I wonder if their humongous power cable
(feeding the distribution box) was plugged into one of those.

The link below got me to Part 3, but how to get to 1 & 2 seems to have
escaped me.

No, the Alexis Park is history. All the audio is in the Venetian hotel
rooms now and it feels a lot better.

Yes, I got faked out by the bass-ackwards form of presenation.

Maybe its a Blog thing.

Nope. T.H.E. Show is at the Alexis Park with many audio vendors.
Unfortunately, I could not get there this trip.

Well, not all but I also do prefer it.

Yes DJ stuff, but I don't recall that they exhibited at CES. They're a
regular at NAMM, but the gals have toned it down considerably in the
past few years of politically correctness.

I rode over to the CES on a shuttle with someone who said he had been
over to the the high end audio show at the Alexis Park the previous
day. Is that a different show, concurrent with CES?

I actually liked the layout at Alexis Park better than at the
Venetian. The day I spent there was the only day I really felt beat
when I left. Maybe it was all the speakers one right after the other,
and trying to figure out if I had been down that spoke of rooms before
or not.

I have been at the T.H.E. Show twice. I enjoyed the outside sun and weather, the food,
and roaming around, and smoking. Its been 5 years since I last attended.

I was staying outside of Vegas since Vegas was "full" for two days.
I was basking in the sun at the Key Largo and swimming. The little places
offered better accomodations, where most "big" places the pool was closed.

But this wasn't sequential - it was reverse sequential.
