Blue Light Audio showing off new $2000 Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne loudspeakers
New statement Zu speakers [sorry for the focus issues? Not sure what went wrong camera-wise here. I’ll try for a better one today].
Studio electric exhibiting a new, more conventional-looking speakers to good effect.
Clarity Cable has a very nice enjoyable sound again this year.
The Awesome Spark on static display in the Cayin room
Just a few photos to give a taste…
YG Acoustics speakers driven by Tenor amps. Bass issues in room did not hide the fact that te mid and uppers were very nice.
Marten’s new Coltrane 2 speakers and amplifiers. Bass issues in room did not hide the fact that there was an ease and authority to these speakers that the Coltrane 1’s did not have. Lots to do with the 1″ tweeter as much or more than the increased size of the cabinet and woofers
Soundlab’s new inwall speakers. Demo of the inwall speakers is tonight or tomorrow night (sorry, I am too old to remember nothing)
Kimber / IsoMike / EmmLabs / Sony room. Best by far I’ve heard these Sony’s sound.
Dynamic Contrast was exhibiting some innovative vibration-controlling equipment racks. The test I conducted was inconclusive – need a better test track [mostly, I just feel how much the chassis of the equipment is vibrating – and listen too, of course]
… and all the exhibit rooms on this side of the 4rth floor hallway.
On the left is Ballys, on the far right is Bellagios, In the foreground on the right Hurrahs, and in the center back there is the Venetian [actually, this post in wrong in that these windows are facing South, not North, and that building just LOOKS like the Venetian (I forget which hotel it actually is)]. Just ignore the red brick building. Just apartments I think.
Otherwise, yeah, the view on this side of the hotel sucks. The other side of the hall, where we were last year, had views of the Flamingo gardens… palm trees, green stuff, yummy stuff that we haven’t seen for a few months in the snowy rocky mountains.
Twilight Zone moment: Last night we got a complaint about playing music in our room at around 65db. Haydn’s Nelson Mass. Sometime between 9pm and 10pm. (!)
Let’s just say shows, and Las Vegas(!), ain’t what they used to be.
