The Music returns and at full volume at the
Alexis Park. Careful with those wallets and purses - there be
diamonds, rubies and pearls inside.
The contingent over at the park-like setting at
the Alexis Park, plus Audio note U.K.* and April Music and some
more who I may have missed. Last year one could register for the
official [insert Rimmer-like salute you Red Dwarf fans] CES here
at the Alexis Park - but noooooo. I guess it will have to be
tomorrow at the early-riser high-tide also known as the opening
day morning crush.

LG was there in force.
LG with LED backlight - noisy and motion
artifacts
The 120Hz canned demos looked decent.
Very slim LG DVD drives.
Panasonic was a busy exhibit. This screen looked
nice and big, but didn't get to put my face up close [well, if I
am ever to have an entire wall of my offic be a LCD panel, it is
going to have to pass the up-close-and-personal test]
Hard to tell from these photos, but Hyundai had a
few living painting in their booth (more in the final report).
They were living because, for example, the fronds on the bamboo in
this painting moved slight in response to gentle breezes. Not
quite Harry Potter type photos, but done really well and very much
in keeping with the aesthetic of the painting ... well, except the
one with little airplanes flying around in the Mona Lisa.
Music Giants had a live band. Sound sucked. Those
speakers? They must suck. Go home and listen to their performance
on your home system. It'll sound better.
THE VENETIAN
We'll get better photos later.. hopefully... of
the floor plans.
Well-behaved people queuing up in a line for the evevators. Loved
it. But also felt like this guy...why me?!?!
The LAMM ML3 on Wilson MAXX II. Very educational
- hear the best that these speakers will ever sound.
The new German Physic loudspeadker.

Montagna Hi-End Systems were interesting looking.
Lanche Audio's latest speakers with their plasma

A record label for people liken all of us - even
if I'd rather get bent.
