Shame about that, Julian. Perhaps next time, but make a point then of asking to hear the Monarch, preferably with some familiar music

I knew who Robert was, so went over and introduced myself, which he duly acknowledged, as he reads some of the forums. Then I expressed my interest in listening to the Monarch against the (then) belt-drive T/T being played (I don't know which one, as I didn't recognise it), using the same test music, and the Monarch murdered it.

My wife and I then spent a good 40 mins, or so, in there listening to the Monarch, with different types of music, which thus allowed me to form the impression I have of it.

Marco.
