Previously, on
the Audio Federation high-end audio CES 2008 Show Report-o-rama, we just
finished up T.H.E. Show Wednesday
evening and it is now Thursday morning, the last day, and we are
on our way down the first of the last two Venetian hallways
(Wings) to finish up.
This page, then, is about half way down the hallway 'Wing C' on
the 29th floor.

Next year, we'll have to spend more time here and make a
photo-documentary of all the Tara Labs cables. This year, at this
time it was what one might call panic mode - we HAD to get the
rest of the Venetian photographed, and we had already used up one
out of three memory sticks. The paln was to Keep moving Forward,
and to not take too many photos of any one room (though the usual
problem was talking a dozen photos of one stubborn component that
refused to let itself be photographed - usually coming out too
dark - and if I turned on the full flash - every piece of dust,
now and in the future, that would show up on top of the component
in the photo). |

The Transroter room was very difficult for the camera this year.
My apologies. |

Wish me better luck next year with these photos... kind of a sad
state of affairs this year. Of course, sure would like to HEAR the
table sometime, too :-) |

Another room with a Continuum table. I'm actually getting good at
photoshopping Continuums at this point ... :-) |

As we peek inside, we can see it is not ALL tubes [in the first
shot, it looks like a big box-o-tubes]. We can see a few
transformer-like boxes down deep inside there, and a couple of
medium size circuit boards. Hard to see, I knmow. |

Speakers with modern aesthetics. The round red carpet there....
really makes a statement. It works to make the speakers look like
they are part of the room. |

The cup of latte there is to show the relative size of these
