I'm looking forward to seeing you and hearing your gear at CES this year.   In another thread about six weeks ago, you mentioned you were trying to get a local winemaker to serve wine at one of your rooms.  Did this ever come about?

I look forward to meeting you and other AC members there.
Greg was working on the wine thing but I think he ran into some legal issues  :(

Greg left me a message saying "bring a corkscrew", so maybe you're in luck  :wink:

Have Corkscrew, Will Travel. :)

By the way, my wife gave me a very nice card at Christmas which contained a "Permission Slip" for a new VDA2.  She didn't actually call it a VDA2, but called it "that preamp or converter thingy we talked about."  Sweet!

Thanks to all who stopped by our room(s) for a listen. It was nice to meet many of the AC members and see the regulars we've met at previous shows.

The Penaudio/ModWright/CIAudio room was a big success. We had it setup for a rather small "sweetspot", but tonal balance and imaging were spot-on if you got a chance to sit there. Steve Hoffman heard us playing one of his recordings and came in to have a listen...he stated he'd never heard "Latin ala Lee" sound so good, not even in the studio when they re-mastered it!

VDA-2 was also a big hit in the 2nd room of an all CIAudio system driving the new Penaudio Alba's.

The Gingko/ModWright/CIAudio system also received alot of praise from visitors. Vinh & Norm were spinning vinyl on my ScoutMaster/VPP-1 and the Tubulous loudspeakers were quite impressive being driven by the SWL 9.0/D-200 combo.

The Von Schwiekert 5.1 system was also very impressive. I'm not a HT guy, but 4 powered subs, 5 of the new VSM on-wall speakers driven by 5 D-200's was really fun (although it was too loud for me). Do people really watch movies that way?

In the side room, the VR-4JR's also sounded very good with all CIAudio electronics. This was a small room and far from ideal, but it sounded great anyway.

We gave away alot of CIAudio carry bags. It was cool to see them everywhere.

A big thanks to Dan Wright (who was sick the whole show and tuffed it out), Tommi & Sami of Penaudio, Albert and crew at Von Schweikert, Vinh & Norm in the Gingko room,  and everyone else who helped make the show a success.
