Great meeting, really enjoyed it and worth the effort to get there.
All the stages put in good performances and differences were small as you went up through the ranks.
There is something special about a valve phono stage and the best on show were very good indeed, it was difficult to split the top three.
Glad my solid state Aqvox was well received, I'd never heard it used in single ended voltage amplifier mode before, I always used it as a balanced current amplifier.
The performance of the boxes at the lower end of the price range was very impressive.
The Rankings pretty much reflect what I heard.
Can't wait for the next one.
I have to nip out for a birthday drink and Chinese takeaway but will post all the phono stage pics later!

I've been hunting for info on the VAS stage but so far drawn a blank. I'd be interested in a link too, not that I'm in the market for a new stage of course lol.
