… about 4 weeks ago.

BUT…

… the important thing is that it closes in 3 weeks or so on August 31.

So, unlike me, do NOT wait until the last minute [this year Neli registered me the first day because she is tired of all the stress :-)].

So, unlike me, do NOT forget to bring your badge and proof of registration to the show [more stress, but a nice lady registrar at the show fixed me up].

And… don’t forget you will need a hotel room to sleep in. Can’t tell if THE SHOW will be at the Flamingo again this year or not which is where we usually stay… [45 minute or longer check-ins, (at all times of year BTW, not just CES), what would we ever do without that much fun in our lives?]

Finally got around to updating the Audiophile’s Guide to the Galaxy page on All Known High-end Audio Blogs and Magazines.

Last count was at about 45 of these puppies.

Bet you heard of most of these but had forgotten them. Hard to keep track of them all, isn’t it? 🙂

There will be more. Ultimist follows a few others, if memory serves. But at least we got the major players there.

This page hadn’t been updated since 2006. Whoowee things have changed.

When we started the Guide, we were the only blog but there were many magazines online. Then, in 2006, back then there were only about 6 other blogs. Now they are coming popping out all over.

But many have also died. Gone. For example, many of the high-end hybrid magazines of home-theater and home audio…? Kaput. Many who did not want to make the transition to blog-like magazines with RSS feeds? Kaput (except for 6moons. Same as it ever was.). A lot of the smaller sites were gobbled up [i.e. the author went to work for Dagogo or Positive Feedback] or just went back to living their lives.

As far as I know, there is still no one who is exclusively Twitter or Facebook or Instagram-based. Bet we see some of these eventually.

AVShowrooms is more or less exclusively YouTube-based. Guess we need to add them too!

It’s always something…! Even the high-end audio universe evolves…
