    I hope any tapes played back on the Nagra IV-SJ had been recorded on the same machine, as the IV-SJ is an instrumentation recorder and does not employ equalisation!

    Yup - agree with that.

    Yeah - the usual Michell/ProAc thing. Was quite quiet when I was in there.

    Are they losing the aesthetics a bit? I think they are. I don't like those big plastic cages they are using much. Still good quality stuff, though, I say, speaking as a Michell owner.

    Whatever they did sounded balanced. To bolded, yes. 405 a bit long in the tooth. But I guess the speakers are sort of present day retro.

    How did you find the sound, from the Michell/Proac/Sugden combo?

    Here's a few PMC pics - with AVM hardware. Strange looking port on the PMC, but they did sound good. I think PMC make decent speakers in general.

    Chord stuff including Dave... the demo played a track for about a minute at 44.1KHz, then again massively upsampled to above 700KHz, which I believe the rep said the transport was doing. He had to add 3DB to the upsampled version as apparently it loses 3DB in the process. I heard no difference and left. That's not to say this isn't decent gear. I just heard no difference My strong expectation bias is not to, though.

    Quad sounding really quite alright and better than previous years when I was in there.
