Great shame no one seems to have taken photos.

Great shame no one seems to have taken photos.
There was a chap from TNT Audio there, and he was taking photos.

My fav rooms were the audio council room (the an speakers sounded good too me) and the Longdog /NWA room. The longdog room was empty when we pitched up so we had a chance to listen to some bowie which we both knew well and a brief chat to one of the guys in there too.
The Audio technical guys were also chatty and good to know about their cartridge lineup change still being uswable with my 150 body.
Music Wise it was terrible, very little I heard would have been played on my system, whatvia it with demo rooms playing gash most of the time?
I didn't cone away feeling the need

Lol - that's what I'd thought, but I'm no expert on such things! The fact is, Simon wrote 'Salford', not Scalford, which is what threw me.
Yup, good seeing you too, mate :cool:Quote:
With regard to yesterday, I enjoyed myself.
Good to see you and Del too.
Marco.
Nice one. Yet you didn't mention that on the post you made about your favourite rooms? ;)
For me, the Monarch was the best sounding T/T at the show, by a country mile.... Would loved to have heard that in Nick's system, as the 301 used there, to me, sounded a little 'safe' and shut-in, compared with what I'm used to at home, but IME Garrards aren't the last word in, shall we say, 'top-end clarity'. Same with the partnering vintage SME arm.
Their big (magnetic) ferrous-metal platters tend to rob the sound of some sparkle, IME. In that respect, the Monarch had oodles more 'attack', dynamic alacrity, and just generally more all-round sonic ability.
As an aside, the other thing I was impressed with was the (superb VFM and seeming effectiveness) of the Impression Series acoustics panels. I'll defo be trying some of those in my own system!
Marco.
I find it very difficult to pick out anything in particular that blew me away though I'd say that was probably because I wasn't listening to anything I really knew well. I struggle to sit for more than a few minutes listening to stuff I don't like or don't know. That said I'd be interested in seeing / hearing the monarch more.
I was also struck but how many hugely expensive record cleaning machines were on display too!
Possibly I should have put some more thought into organising these posts, the first was from a McDonalds then a car park whilst waiting for my wife now I'm home!
