What to see at the CES show?

i've decided to pass on ces this year, mainly because of its mid-week schedule that comes at one of my historically busiest times of the year. were i to attend, there are a few things i'd want to see. axiss, the usa distributor for accuphase and airtight, should have its new turntable line, transrotor (german), on display. musical surroundings will have the latest models of aesthetix products, the whole clearaudio tt and cartridge line and the new basis tonearm to view.

i'm going to miss seeing all my friends in the audio world and attending the great dinners and other functions for which i've been privileged to receive invitations. i'll also miss discovering some of the stuff from italy, france, germany and scandinavia that rarely makes it to u.s. audio shops. but most of all, i'll miss getting all the bargain and sometimes gratis software.

have fun all. -cfb

fatparrot: i've received an email from ces, saying you'll need two forms of id to gain entry this year: (1) your badge, which you should have received by now, unless you registered late, and (2) an id that shows your "company affiliation." a word to the wise: best get some audio business cards made up. i use either the avery or southwick products on my laser printer. -cfb

aknorth: the site to look to on earth is: http://www.cesweb.org/ sorry, but i'm not sure whether this is accessible on either neptune or pluto. -cfb
