Got to the event early, got all the gear in, was a bit sparsely poulated:



The gear end of the room:



This new phono stage made its appearance:



Equipment table:



Barrington brought along a fantastic creation, a much improved Rega TT, with many layers of vibration control:



Much amp swapping was done:



When Ali arrived his Tandberg R2R was put in to really good effect, it was stunning:



A side shot also showing Ali's Slagle (?) TVC passive in the foreground, installed a little later:



Ali's modified 2000 head amp with all Z foil resistors plus external supply gave extremely spacious sound, in comparison with my standard one there was definitely more of everything in the presentation:



Lastly for this photo round up, Justin's Pro amp was on power duties to rather good effect:



Overall some stunning sounds were heard, the stars of the day for me were Barringtons amazing TT plus the venerable 40 plus year old Quad ESL57's, which accepted everything thrown at them with aplomb

I might add at rather higher volume levels than I have ever used them before

Brilliant first day chaps, more to come from today.
