T.H.E. Show, Las Vegas may not be the largest electronics show in town this week, but it is extremely significant in the world of High-End Audio.
This year’s The Home Entertainment Show: Las Vegas, in the Executive Conference Center at the Flamingo Hotel on The World-Famous Las Vegas Strip, runs concurrent with the all-encompassing CES (Consumer Electronics Show), January 7 – 10, 2014. T.H.E. Show Las Vegas offers the finest in innovations in high-end audio. Everything from the most exclusive developments in headphones to a MILLION DOLLAR system!
From Mark Levinson’s personal exhibit, demonstrating the latest developments in his “Daniel Hertz S.A.” line to The Absolute Sound’s debut of the masterpiece publication: “The Illustrated History of High-End Audio” this year’s theme is: Audio Legends and Today’s Innovators.
In this, the 16th annual T.H.E. Show Vegas, The Absolute Sound formally debuts its latest masterpiece publication: the 320-page, deluxe hardbound “coffee-table” book which is nearly the size of an LP cover. T.H.E. Show is the Only Place in Vegas This Week to purchase this book – and all copies sold will be first-edition, numbered copies. There are LIVE book-signing sessions with Robert Harley, Editor-In-Chief, and many contributors to the book.
Mr. Harley will present the book at T.H.E. Show’s Opening Night Reception, Tuesday from 6pm – 8:30pm and then, on Wednesday and Friday, Robert and other contributors will be on hand from Noon to 1:30PM for book signings. A limited amount of books will be available at T.H.E. Show for a special rate of $119. Ordering on-line, the cost is $129 + shipping and handling and the book is not guaranteed to be a first edition, numbered copy – with no chance of having it personally “signed”. Pick up this “Collector’s Edition” ONLY at The Show Las Vegas. It is a “must-have” for every Audiophile!
Also at the Opening Night Reception, Chad Kassem, CEO and founder of Acoustic Sounds will be honored by the Los Angeles & Orange County Audio Society with the announcement of their exclusive and prestigious “Founders Award”.

T.H.E. MARKETPLACE also features the best venue in Vegas this week for those in search of high-end Headphones, rare Vinyl and CD’s, and software to be found nowhere else in the city. Purchases are available on-the-spot.
