Hello everyone. I am making my yearly pilgrimage to Consumer Electronics Show which starts on January 5th, 2017.

Please post here or PM me if there are specific exhibits/rooms you want me to go to and/or spend more time in. I will try to cover all the high-end rooms at the Venetian hotel and post them on ASR Forum. But still, let me know of any specific rooms you are interested in and I will make sure there is good coverage for them.
I do have a request: could you, please, visit Audioquest at Venetian Suites 30-105 & 30-106? I'm curious if they are presenting any new cables this year. Thanks!

I don't have any "broken tonearms" this year, but come by late on Saturday to go to our annual gathering of carnivores.

Many thanks for the offer. Very interested in the Nagra HD line room with Wilson Alexx speakers. They also have a 2nd room with their Classic line products. Enjoy!

The Raidho room. Interested if they show the revised Cx.2 revisions.

Also your coverage of demo music has been very informative in the past.

Will do both. Hit one floor today and didn't see Raidho. Always enjoy stealing their playlist from them :).

One quick question for you Amir: Will you share your visits here as well, @ WBF?

If you do, then don't forget to visit the room where they have the new Mark Levinson turntable model ? 515

* Also, the new Sony UHD OLED TVs. That should be very very interesting...

I will post a reply for the specific questions raised here. Otherwise I expect to have some 100 threads on the show and can't duplicate them on both forums. My apology for that.

I saw this today but it was not playing. May go back again to hear it.

It is on top of my list to see tomorrow (Saturday). I finished the audio rooms today.

She's pretty...the ML TT. ...Simple, futuristic, elegance, hefty presence, sign of things to come...price to follow suit, tuxedo @ the grand opera ball.
/// With black and grey silver accents. Michael (Fremer) would want to play with it, in his LP cave.

If looks alone could tell how music sounds; we'd stop searching and just decor our music rooms to go along with our fine wines and cigars and camembert plus brie cheese and paintings and sculptures and favorite flowers and plants.

Beautifull coverage amir on your site , how did the zanden/kharma sound

The rooms look quit nice , although some a bit overdamped may be ??
A lot of absorption

This kharma model uses the omega F driver which they developed themselves , cone is carbon and the ring on which the voice coil is mounted as well , plus iirc they use some special kind of magnet .
Sounded nice when i heard it , to bad they dont also show with their own electronics

Ps apparently the chassis of the unit has also carbon in it ?:)
