Finally, high-end audio is presented side-by-side with the other news from CES.

All on the 2010 CES News Channel

Our posts and photos should be appearing on there both pre-show, show, and post-show.

We’re taking the Gaku On amplifiers to CES. .

We have a ton of photos. Still will take another ton.

These are not our amps - but suffice it to say I ***WILL*** have these amps for my own, someday. They are just so much better than anything else… except, well, the Lamm ML3 are different. Suffice to to say I ***WILL*** own both someday.

And I usually, eventually, perhaps decades down the road, own everything I want. As do most people, really. It is figuring out what I want that takes for-ev-er. And then figuring out how to focus my efforts so that they are not wasted on silly things like food and vacations

Yes, a ton of photos. A little bit of confusion about where to post the photos. Here… yes, but they are so small. On Spintricity, it will look great, but if we are not careful, everything over there will be Audio Note - they make such a wide range [aka large number] of good looking equipment.

Maybe I’ll post it over on Luxury Review [a stealth zine where I can say what I want - and be the old exuberant me and then some], then convince Mattters to run it on their luxury channels.

Anyway, the quandary will soon end, one way or the other. Post CES we are going to rethink the publications a little bit. Well, first we will rest and sleep a lot. Then we will do a rethink.

This is what we currently plan on showing at CES at the Flamingo (T.H.E. Show).

Several of the items are coming from the factory in the U.K. and are due to arrive in Denver this Wednesday. After they make it through customs we will ship them directly on to Las Vegas.

Neli thinks my latest article on Spintricity is a little weird… which is good because I wanted to spark things up some

There is a new news site that covers high-end audio… among many other things:

Your High End Audio News Channel

For people in the Denver/Boulder area - Bart’s CD Cellar in Boulder is going out of business and they have 40% off new LPs. [including 180 and 200gm] and 50% off a lot of other things and 30% off CDs, if anyone buys those anymore.

We are close enough to drive - it is about a 12 hour trip - so we always have this tension between driving with all the equipment to the show, perhaps renting a bigger vehicle or taking fewer things… and shipping it all. Or mixing and matching.

We are taking everything for two rooms - so that adds up, cubic footage-wise - but it is so much safer to use mike & neli shipping incorporated than the alternatives. At least, we hope it is

You know, in the last few years, places like C|Net and engadget have started covering CES big time. They really overwhelm the internet so it is hard for little guys [like us!] to compete in some ways. Have to figure a way around that

2010?

It’s been 10 years in this millennium already?

We’ll have two rooms, both Audio Note-based, one for the upper end of things (powered by the Gaku-On’s ) and one just a little bit lower (powered by the Jinro - a copper version on the Ongaku integrated amp).

A complete list of equipment will be forthcoming.

We had thse speakers for a few days. Really quite nice looking. And they sounded quite nice too They sit around the $20K mark and have out-board crossovers.
