We Open in Venice

Jan 04, 2007

As we <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/news/032706ces">reported last March</A>, the Consumer Electronics Association decided to move the "high-performance audio" and "high-performance home theater" exhibits of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to Las Vegas' Venetian Hotel in 2007. Here, then, in a blatant attempt to scoop my show-reporting <I>Stereophile</I> colleagues, is my picture of the new CES venue. I actually took this picture last year, not in anticipation of the change in show venue, but simply because I’m a sucker for the ersatz-European ambience of Las Vegas hotel-casinos like the Venetian. And whatever the advantages/disadvantages of the Venetian for demonstrating audio equipment, you have to admit that it’s picturesque!

I am no reviewer.You know this allready.With my limited English,based on personal experience,i will try to pass to you my thoughts about cables and if anyone wants to add or comment about something,he/she is welcome.If you do not understand something i say,please ask me to repeat it in Greek.I will leave behind lots of things.Just want you to know this is my personal "rough quide" .
First-of-all , cables do make a difference.Problem is,not all of us can hear those difference. Why ? Let's categorize
those differences first.
a) Smoother sound
b) extended bass and treble

$500 for a receiver, an integrated amp, or pre amp-amp combo?

I have a pair of Boston AR1 floor speakers for my living room-14'x24'. I was using a Denon DRA-395 receiver to play CDs on them until the Denon died last week. The receiver was ok, but it did tend to fatigue me and even hurt my ears at moderately high volumes, say, between 10 and 11 o'clock on the dial. I have about $500 to spend on the Denon's replacement. I don't get any classical stations where I live, so a tuner is not critical to me. I was thinking about buying a Yamaha RX797 receiver, but an integrated amp or pre amp and amp combo would no doubt be better.
