Preparing for CEDIA 2006
Its mostly a mental thing – and hardly anything to do with audio. I mean, if someone is crazy about audio = spends gazillion dollars and quintillion brain cycles on the stuff, they naturally have to be careful about the consideration of other possible hobbies.
Just because we are craxy does not mean we aren’t perfectly aware of how crazy obsessed passionate we are and cautious about getting any crazier by getting into the visual side of the entertainment event reproduction chain.
So, video is great and we are on the upgrade path, slow as it may seem to other real videoholics (we just got a Sony 26″ XBR LCD TV) – we are just NOT going to go nuts over the stuff.
There is only so much craziness to go around – craziness don’t grow on trees, ya know. [It has to be carefully cultivated and nurtured for years…:-]
Anyway, the mode here is to twiddle bits between autitions and get the show report infrastructure up and clicking:
[Yes, we KNOW the Hifiing logo is too big. I’m just tired with mucking with it]
Not sure if we are just going to do the dailies (aka episodes – cute huh?) with buckets of pix, or a real report. I guess there has to be a ‘Did it Suck or Not’ kind of summary so who knows…
Only the Shadow Knows For Sure… or
Only the Echo Knows For Sure.
Mike,
Greetings from Milan!
Thumbnails of your jumbo deluxe pix would be a nice place to start for people in places where WiFi is more a burst of optimism than a burst of high speed data transfer . . . . Like the ATA Quark Hotel full of Italian Hi Fi Nuts all talking on their cell phones. You have to pretty much sit on their router/antenna to keep a signal longer than 10 seconds at a time!
The Gaku Ons playing here are fully silver, unlike the ones you heard at CES which were copper-wired. Holy Mother of Pearl . . . .

Greetings Milan!
Sorry ’bout the bandwidth-loving show pictures. We” see what we can do for the ATA Quark Hotel’s technical difficulties… 😉
All silver Gaku Ons? Don’t want to hear about it. Don’t want to hear them. If you ship them here I will not open the boxes. If Neli opens the boxes I will hide the power cords. If she steals the last power cord off my computer to use with the amps then then then then you just know what will happen.
Seriosly, can’t wait to hear them. Anybody with a seriously ambitiious high-end audio system should hear them…
So…. that leads to the question:
You going to RMAF? Neli probably knows but she is downstairs and you are right here, … so…. are you? Have you guys decided what you are bringing? The Gaku Ons? 🙂
