The Home Entertainment Show 2023 SoCal Report
Best attendance and a good time was had by all.
T.H.E. Show SoCal 2023 Report By Gary Alan Barker
The Home Entertainment Show or as we all know it T.H.E. Show is one of the longest running HiFi shows and was the first to return after COVID. T.H.E. Show 2023 was the best attended in several years and a good time was had by all. I think everyone agrees that the new site is a significant improvement over last year and more in keeping with times past, but unfortunately, Headphonium did not happen this year despite erroneous promotion of it, but regardless a few of our stalwart personal audio friends did show up.
