Dave Bryce Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 AS those of you who read the NFL threrad know, I have back-to bacvk trade shows CES in Vegas, followed immediately by NAMM in Anaheim) for the next two weeks. As usual, I will have my laptop with me, however (also as usual) the amount of time that I'll be able to dedicate to posting will be diminished. I'd be most happy if our esteemed de facto guest moderator Geoff Grace would be kind enough to do that voodoo that he do so well for the next week and a half... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bryce Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 One down, one to go. The hotel where I stayed in Vegas didn't have hi-speed internet, so I stayed offline for a few days. Hopefully, the one in Anaheim will be better... So, who wants to be guest moderator while Geoff and I are at NAMM? dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 One of my cats had expressed interest in moderating the forum, but as it turns out, she'd already accepted a position doing multimedia production at Chiat-Day. http://home.earthlink.net/~jeffannak/yokoface.jpg They're paying her $175,000, but the irony is that it's all in cat food. Anyway, I'll tell her Bill's got it covered. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Fortner Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Bill, I was hoping to see you at NAMM. Sorry you can't make it. Jeff, I guess vomiting on gear pays after all. The client probably wanted that Jackson Pollock aesthetic in the work somehow. Dave, does you doing CES mean ADAM is after more of a presence in the U.S. home hi-fi market?

Klaus' background is much more hi-fi oriented than studio based, and he wants to see the hi-fi stuff do as well as the studio line. Nutty bunch of folks, those audiophiles. I actually had some guy ask me how long we had broken in the electronics for before using them at the show... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP3 Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 dB. I'll take good care of the house while you're busy. At CES, was the company that makes the Aluminata ($3,500)IEC cable exhibiting? That would have been fun to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that bad? Should I lift them off the floor? Or disentangle them from the extension cord in my 30-amp power circuit? --Dave Make my funk the P-funk. I wants to get funked up.

You know, I am one of the biggest naysayers of crap like this in the world. BUT. I was in a studio last month that had just switched to all hospital-grade power cables (the dealer had lent them out looking for an endorsement). I DEFINITELY noticed the difference when I a/b'ed the Genelecs there with normal and high-end power cable. It wasn't something subtle at all. The high end was much less brittle. In fact, it was so noticable that you could replace just one power cord and hear the difference between the left and right monitors. I'm not sure if this is due to some poor power regulation on the part of the internal power amp, but, as Dave said, if it really does make this much difference, my wallet doesn't want to know about it. This cable was $70.00 per foot. "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
