Mike,
Wish I was going but I've been off for two weeks so it's time to get back to work.
The only new gear debuting as CES that I heard about so far is the Vandersteen 7 MKII.

Plenty of new/updated stuff from Musical Surroundings, D'Agostino, Aesthetix, Clearaudio, AMG, VPI, etc.
Thanks Myles! Is D'Agostino introducing their super amps? Do you know what Aesthetix is debuting?
Best,
Ken

No, I'm going to pass. Too many shows to cover now not to mention much better shows. I have to maximize my bang for my buck. Last year CES consisted of two floors of gear at the Venetian (plus a few manufacturers upstairs) and a few the Mirage. The Show was a ghost town. Pretty disappointing and going to the CES, that I pay for, is fairly expensive. Five years from now CES will be a pleasant memory and everyone will be going to Munich (assuming ISIS doesn't invade Europe).
No I'm planning on Axpona, RMAF and NYC this year. Maybe Newport in 2016. But I will mis seeing a few people!

Got it. I'll see you at RMAF - skipped 2014 but do have plans to go this year.

I'm coming! I do agree that last year was a bit of a ghost town, with the weather troubles affecting travel, etc. Hopefully this year will be better!
There are already quite a few new product launches, and YG will also debut their new speaker, Carmel 2, which I'm anxious to hear!
Myles,
No Newport this year? Promises to be a good one...

It was either Newport or Chicago and I had already committed to Steve Davis to do a seminar in the Windy City.

From The Lotus Group
Looking forward to seeing you in our room at CES in the Venetian Tower Rm. 29-132. We will be doing an all analog demo with the latest Hanss Acoustics all black Aluminum and bakelite T-60 turntable, with Durand Telos tonearm and Ortofon Winfield cartridge, KR Audio Electronics, Marten Coltrane Tenor Loudspeaker and all PranaWire cabling. We will also have the latest PranaWire Linebacker XE! This should prove to be a winning combination!

CES, Las Vegas, Jan. 6, 2015 - Pass Laboratories, Inc., an audio innovator renowned worldwide for its unique high-performance products, introduces two integrated amplifiers, the INT-60 and INT-250, at the Consumer Electronics Show 2015. Both are stunning, flexible, and powerful new members of Pass Lab's family of music-first audiophile components.
Pass redefined the way the audiophile industry perceived integrated amplifiers five years ago when it introduced their first-ever line of integrated amplifiers, which, among other advances, reduced the amount of gain stages normally associated with integrated amps from 6-9 to a streamlined two. The amps' unique topology proved to be the cleanest, most direct signal path possible, and the approach provided superlative audiophile performance in otherwise modest packages.
Now, Pass is improving upon those pioneering integrated amps with new iterations that are both models of electronic elegance. Based on Pass Labs' lauded INT-30A, the 60-watt INT-60 Integrated Amplifier provides wattage with all the finesse and delicacy surpassing its predecessor, and works best with speakers of 87dB efficiency or greater.
The INT-60 builds upon the INT-30A's legendary "You are there" soundstage, offering spectacular realism, even with difficult speaker loads such as electrostatics or planars. The INT-60 features the same power supply and output stages, along with the iconic glowing meter, as found on Pass Labs' Point 8 amplifiers. The new model features Direct Access buttons for the four inputs on the faceplate, a digital level display, plus a Volume Control knob and Mute button. On the back are four line-level inputs, a line-level output, and two pairs of Furutech speaker binding posts.
The new INT-250 ups the wattage from the INT-150's 150 watts to 250 watts per channel. The INT-250 is optimized for greater versatility with speaker loads of 86dB efficiency or less. Like the INT-60, the INT-250 features the same power supply and output stages, along with the iconic glowing meter as found on Pass Labs' Point 8 amplifiers. It too features four line-level inputs, a line-level output, and two pairs of Furutech speaker binding posts. As with the INT-60, there are Direct Access buttons for the four inputs on the faceplate and a digital level display, in addition to a Volume Control knob and a Mute button.
Both the INT-60 and the INT-250 are ideal for reference systems or secondary, superior audiophile systems, and were optimized by Pass Labs' unusually rigorous listening processes using six different sound systems to deliver exceptional musical experiences.
Their dimensions are:
INT-60: 19" W x 21" D x 7-1/2" H; INT-250: 19" W x 21" D x 9" H.
The INT-60 ($9,000) and INT-250 ($12,000) can be seen together with Pass Labs' other outstanding products at the Venetian Tower, Suite 34-209, during CES.
