Wigwam Show 2017 Scalford Hall , Anyone doing it ?

A lot of people couldn't believe their ears especially when they learned how little it had cost, both Alex and me could have sold what we had brought 10 times over and made a massive profit.

Can you remember what it was Mike ? It's great to see the esoteric/expensive gear but the low cost approach really does appeal to me too. It really was a great room on the day.

My system comprised of my Aiwa AP2600 turntable, an Aiwa C50 pre & P50 power amp, a Yamaha DVDS-2500 SACD/DVDA player and a pair of JBL LX500 speakers, all i remember of Alex's system was a tasty pair of RAM 150 speakers

I'm not really sure the Wam show will be all that different. Under the previous management the show still had quite a lot of commercial interest if you looked closely. The biggest change is really just that the new owners are being honest and upfront about it being a commercial concern. As far as I am concerned the show and the forum are entirely different things. Under the previous management I thought the forum was badly run and poorly moderated with commercial interests leveraging influence behind the scenes. The show on the other hand was well organised and very professional.

I'm planning to be there. I've only been once before in 2015 and loved it, my wife also enjoyed it. Missed last year due to a serious cycling accident but now fit for a return visit. Despite the commercialisation of the Wam I'm more than happy to support the individual exhibitors who make such a great effort.

A sentiment echoed here Mark. It's basically a hotel stuffed with (mostly) blokes' stereos with (mostly) blokes listening to them, talking about them, catching up and generally having a right old good time. I really can't see how this basic premise changes much, unless everybody dresses smartly or something ;-)

I shall be exhibiting in room 209 come in and have a listen and say hello.

Source will be a modified Thorens TD160 Super, rewired Rega RB300 and a Philips GP390 ceramic cartridge.

I've just sent one of my GP390 to the Expert Stylus Cartridge Company to have it re tipped with a line contact stylus can't wait to get it back!

Amplification will be High Octane Phonostage, modified Quad II's and modified Quad 22 preamp or the original Electrocompaniet 25 watt class A amplifier and preamp.

Speakers will be the same as last year a pair of restored 1978 JBL L40's.
