When it comes to HiFi Shows, it doesn't bother me. I can listen to those show standards, and I can enjoy them immensely. Because they are so familiar, one can make some rough conclusions about the efficacy of the playback system. I just try to listen with a fresh perspective.
Of course, it's always thrilling to hear new stuff at shows, especially if it's something you can pick up at the sales booths. I was pretty impressed by Greta Metassa - "Live At Tula's" (Jazz Stream JSSACD002) at the last CES when I heard her version of "Black Coffee" over a very nice rig - and was able to buy it at the show.
