Here are 2 lame videos I shot at CES yesterday. The lighting in these rooms was dim at best.

The second video highlights a rare pair of Western Electric 757 studio monitors from 1947 in the Silbatone room. The first video is from the King Sound room(full range Electrostatic speakers) with top of the line VAC tube preamp and amp. Both also feature the Stellavox rig I hauled to Vegas. I finished up the show in another VAC room, this time paired up with the wonderful Symposium transmission line/planar speakers. All rooms were at the Venetian Hotel.
We also spent time spinning reels in the E.A.R. Marten room with Dan Meinwald. Dan was playing a series III Tape Project sampler reel on the EAR Technics 1500. Wonderful sound in that room as well.

Met up with Myles in a few rooms. Ki, Mike and John Brooks were sorely missed.

Yeah so if I missed any equipment in my show report, I'll blame it on you.

BTW, were a few WBF people around too including Marty and Russ.
