CES and T.H.E. 2009 - Is anyone going?

I didn't know anyone did multichannel any more? That's so 2004!! What's a scaler? Don't those come standard on Technics recievers??

Skippy,

In a word, NO, nothing new and cool, the biggest thing was Chord's Bluetooth DAC, but it was usurped by Sherwood having the same tech on a $400 receiver!!!!!

Vizio was showing a 55 inch 240 Hz TV that will ship in June and RETAIL for $1,999 as well as a Blu-ray player.

It's so 2004, huh? Yes, all that "digital" hi-def audio/video content and HD Master recording stuff for movies is so passe! Who would buy any of that stuff anyway?!
Yep, I agree with you, all that analog stuff is gunna make a come back! So is analog tv, boat anchor CRT systems, 8-track, and Beta! IT'S GUNNA HAPPEN! Oh, and analog tuners are back in fashion too.
Well, I guess I could drop the idea of mult-channel entertainment. I'll think about it.
Oh, btw, I want a pair of those pannel speakers you have - way cool! That way when all my guests come over to enjoy a movie, some music, or a sporting event, all the dialoge and center action can be all pushed over to one side of the sound system, and all out of phase, off-axis! Oh well, I can be the only one to enjoy the sound I guess. Er, I can just choose to not have anyone else over and become a 2 channel recluse like yourself. I mean who needs friends anyway? I always say.
Well, I'm gunna go out now and hunt down an old inferior Laser disc player and good real-to-real setup, and tell myself some more lies now.
That is however a nice analog platter spinner thingy you have in your sysetem profile. I did see one of those about 35 years ago at my granpa's house. Does it do mult-channel or quad or anthing? I WANT ONE!
Analog TV and short wave radio's are gunna make a comback, you know. I can feel it.

off the meds again, Skippybo?
