CEDIA 2002 Show

Audiophiles familiar with CES and T.H.E Show, either from actually having attended or from reading about them in magazines or on the web, know that the audio high-end has its own venues, usually seperate rooms in which one or two manufacturers will exhibit. So there's lots of opportunity to hear music even though the conditions are usually sub-optimal. CEDIA, on the other hand, is more like a traditional trade show with booth exhibits on the floor of a large convention center. In fact, most of the audio-oriented displays are static. Nothing is plugged in. A second major difference: CEDIA is mostly about Video. Audio-alone exhibits are few to none. But still, its a hellava lota fun!

Since the show was on the ASM's home turf this year, we had a chance to visit, schmooze, and take pictures (and maybe recruit some possible guests...?) Here, in no particular order and without much rhyme or reason, are some photos of audiophile interest.
