The Cardas Audio, Conrad Johnson, Fidelis room at CES 2016. 6 photos.
The Wireworld Cable Technology room at CES 2016.
Some more photos of the EMT 927F turntable.
One of the things I did on the last day was revisit the bigger Lamm Kharma room on 35.
Took a few more photos of this turntable.
I think Neli is in love. 🙂
Much smaller show this year. It used to take me all 4 days to photograph the rooms here [including those at the old THE SHOW Las Vegas].
Now about 4 to 5 hours.
Someone said that the number of international distributors they see is less than 1/10th that they used to see 5 years ago here.
Exhibitors are much more aggressive when they try to see me, a fellow exhibitor.
On the positive side, there are LOTS of new audiophiles and potential audiophiles coming up from the main CES conference [the two giant floors of the Sands conference halls downstairs are PACKED with people].

Though not new these Neolith speakers are far, far better than any of Martin Logan’s other speakers.
The large number of configurations are controlled by jumpers.
TAD speakers with designer patterns…
Having a fight with my camera [and I am losing. about 50% of the photos are coming out underexposed] but got everything but the few rooms on floor 34 done so far.
Here are some tidbits…
New giant speakers from EgglestonWorks
Kondo with Kaiser Kawero speakers
Lamm with Kharma Exquisite Classic speakers
New MXR2 equipment rack from HRS (Harmonic Resolution Systems) [sorry for the head-tilting photo]
A live band in the Axiss room with Accuphase on 29
A few photos from the Lamm, Kharma, EMT room. Took photos of floors 30 and 35 yesterday before my camera batteries died. Hope to finish today…
This is one of the more spectacular rooms this show so far…
More descriptions later. Neli is telling me to ‘get a move on’ … so we get to the show before it closes 🙂
Kharma brought their Grand Exquisite Midi speakers for this room

Thanks again to Audio Note U.K. for contributing the awesome digital front end. They make us smile everytime we hear them – a clearly audible improvement over other digital.
