A product Rave

I am using an iMac as sever and have to, because of equipment location, run a long glass toslink to my DAC. Glass made a big improvement over the plastic link I started with but another item has almost as big an improvement.

I am getting pretty good sound with the system with my only complaint being a bit of grit in the high end that I put down to jitter caused by the long Toslink run. I replaced my $2 mini Toslink to Toslink adapter at the iMac with a new $20 Startech adapter and 90% of the grit I thought was jitter went away...

CES 2011: Easy Registration, Challenging Assignment

CES 2011: Easy Registration, Challenging Assignment

The Consumer Electronics Association made the final step of registration, badge-holder pick-up, easier for CES attendees this year. In addition to registration sites at the Venetian, Las Vegas Convention Center, and a number of hotels, a registration booth was set up in the baggage claim area of Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport. The line may have been 25-people deep when I approached on Wednesday around noon, but it moved quickly.

Heading Into Las Vegas

It's Wednesday evening just before rush hour, and the traffic is not too bad passing through the outskirts of LV along Interstate 15 heading north. The rest of the Stereophile crew will be arriving during the next few hours and Thursday.

John Atkinson has handed out the assignments:

John Atkinson: expensive speakers
Robert Deutsch: low-mid-priced speakers
Erick Lichte: amplification of all kinds
Jason Serinus: cables, accessories, and headphones
Stephen Mejias: budget gear of all kinds
Jon Iverson: digital products of all kinds

We'll gather tonight at JA's favorite Indian restaurant for dinner, and then coverage will start up in earnest Thursday.
