CES Rumors


Anyone have an inside track on new product launches or updates at next month's Consumer Electronics Show?

A local dealer mentioned some new pre/pro from Parasound.

Blue Circle Audio will be introducing its first DAC (Digital to Analog Converter). Called the BC501 it will retail for $3695.

In full disclosure........I am now affiliated with Blue Circle. If you would like more information on this DAC before the official release at CES, you can contact me directly.
Sugarbrie, congrats, BCA makes some quality gear. It must be a pleasure getting paid for enjoying this hobby.

Cheers,

Hey, congrats Sugarbrie!

You've you've long been the Blue Circle booster here and it seems to be a perfect fit. Will you be in the BC room at Alexis Park next week? I have all my reservations, but work may prevent me from attending. However, if I can I'll make sure to drop in on what is sure to be the nuttiest room at CES next to AVN that is.

Have fun!
Q Man:

I've been holding off about a new pre/pro as well... same choices: AVM 30 vs. C2. If I had the money, I think the Anthem D1 would be in the running.

Parasound does have a new pre-pro and amps that look very promising.
Below is a link that has pics and specs on the new Parasound gear.

A couple of nice things about the processor is bass management on the 7.1 channel analog input and video upconversion to component.
The amp that is posed to replace the HCA-2205 has a much nicer path to the binding posts as well.

Have to pass on CES this year but have fun!
