Consumer Electronic Show ?

Is it worth it to go to the CES if your not a dealer ?
Web cite states that it not for general public
Thanks

However, friendly dealers will sometimes lend you an affiliation to overcome this barrier. From reading show reports, I gather there is usually lots of interesting audio stuff, but you'll have to resist all the other consumer electronics temptations at the show.
