CES 2010 Coverage

January 11, 2010
The EMM labs, Pass Labs, Sony Room

EMM Labs brought the same equipment they showed at RMAF to Las Vegas. Those are Sony’s ultra high-end speakers. Sony doesn’t manufacturer any other components anywhere near this level and is having a hard time figuring out how to market them in the US.

Here are the latest EMM XDS1 and CDSA SACD players.

The big Pass Labs X350.5 monoblocks rested on some decidedly non-audiophile approved industrial dollies.

l am really starting to like blue vacuum florescent displays (VFDs). That’s the EMM Labs PRE2 preamplifier on top and an older version of the EMM Labs CDSD SACD player on bottom.

All of the SACD players and transports on display were for naught. Music recorded with Ray Kimber’s ISO-Mike was played back directly from hard disk through Sonoma DSD mastering software.

Did I mention that they forgot to turn the lights on?
