Scalford........who is going?

Well we had a good day, i would guess diy gear is not what most come to listen too, but still we had quite a few visitors,
What i was pleased about was that everthing worked on the day.
Scott came with me so we both got a chance for a quick walk around, but i still only made it to a few rooms, all sounded very good.

The DIY stuff is one of the more interesting aspects. That and the combinations people put together.
That's what separates it from often tedious commercial shows.

Yep, the DIY stuff is one of the main reasons I go - Guy, have ordered your stylus balance.

As always, I enjoyed the show. Surprised I didn't see you at all Marco, rather assumed you didn't go (got there at 10:30 and left about 4:30). There were only two rooms I didn't go in to and, as usual, there was quite an eclectic range of gear on demo. This year I have to say I was rather disappointed by the overall sound quality. The best room, by some margin for me, was the one with active Rogers and the reel to reel tape decks. This room exhibited a level of focus, coherence and easy transparency that evaded the majority of others. Of the other rooms, I was very keen to hear the stacked Quads but was very disappointed with the result - very truncated at the frequency extremes and the stereo image only seemed to exist in the narrow gap between them - I assume some sort of connection issue was the cause because they sounded very poor (one set out of phase to the other or similar). The other room that stood out for me in a positive way was the one with the green horns, fed by a Pure Sound integrated and STST direct drive turntable. If I was looking at 5K turntables (rather than building one) this is the direction I would be looking in. The Vida phonostage also sounded very promising.

Many thanks for your kind comments - we thoroughly enjoyed exhibiting and meeting so many enthusiastic and like - minded people...
