CES

[curtis]

Hi All,

I am here at CES, and I thought I would quickly go over some of the stuff I heard and saw.

Magico Mini - Sounds good, but not $25K good.

Devore Super 9 - Liked what I heard, but they were only playing vinyl, so I could not hear my CDs with them.

Nola - Something was wrong with these, they did not sound good/right.

Strata Mini - Very nice. For $2K, very competitive.

Audes Model 5 - Very nice....very balanced, but would like to listen to it some more as we heard something interesting in the lower mids/upper bass.

TacT Audio - Someone there needs to learn how to give demos....what they had us listen to made no sense.

DEQX - Very nice demo. If I had the cash, something I would loved to play around with.

NuForce - Their speakers sounded very nice.....carved out of a big chunk of wood. For a ported speaker, it looked like the woofers were working hard, but did not have the bass output you would expect.

TAD - New Reference 1 speaker. I may be biased, but I love these things. For $60K a pair...probably not something I will ever attain, but I will always take an offer to listen to them. We are going back today for a surround/hi-rez demo.

That's what I can quickly remember off of the top of my head.

Curtis, will you be stopping by the VMPS room? They are debuting their new RM-60 and I'm curious how it sounds.

Also, if you stop by the Sound Art China room (Mark Schifter from AV123 and Mr Pu), tell Mark I said to give you "first cabin" treatment.

Brad...I will put VMPS on the list for today.

Saw Mark yesterday when we heard the Mini Strata.....I will ask for "first cabin" if I see him again.
