No problem meeting me, just go to CES and come along with us to dinner. Some of these get together's wind up with 15 or 20 people at a table and we have a blast.
Just try and imagine your favorite person (or persons) from this list, standing next to your "equipment."

Sounds much better, right?

Natalie Portman
Milla Jovovich
Gwyneth Paltrow
Cameron Diaz
Charlize Theron
Salma Hayek
Ashley Judd
Faith Hill
Sandra Bullock
Nichole Kidman
Hey Albert: Didn't Milla Jovovich first say "Big Bad Boom" in Fifth Element? I'm not so sure I'd want those comments in my listening room.

She (Leeloo) also held up her hand displaying and saying: "Mul-ti-pass." which was so cute I couldn't stand it.

With "Mul-ti-pass" you can go get new software for free and other good stuff. At least I think so.
To respond respectfully to Dewald_visser's thread:

I've met many of high end audio's creators, most of whom I admire and respect for their effort. Nearly all of these audio professionals are accessible by attending Denver AudioFest, Stereophile or CES.

The quality of audio is better than it has EVER been and by that I mean superior performance, higher reliability, great styling and improved user safety, with an almost unlimited variety of design choices.

The only possible complaint........the high end business is so small and sales so limited that the tiny companies that build are often expensive.

As with all things that operate on the fringe, that's the just the nature of the beast.
Dewald,

When I was just a foot high my father & Charlize Theron's father, Charles used to work together. She was a little girl with white/blond hair and was spoiled totally by her father with all sorts of gifts...

Now you have me interested........tell us the story about later years when Charlize grew up and longed to see her childhood friend Dewald !
