    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.

    Thanks Jim, glad you took them.

    Has Stoyan (spelt wrong no doubt) got a link to VAS? Maybe a picture too?

    I was impressed with the Aqvox mate. Didn't have the glare that the solid state types I've tried before seemed to posses.

    You've bought well.

    I have email the halls treasure to ask if the cleaners can have a look for your Knob. Ooh err lol

    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.

    The VAS was outstanding. Seriously good. I loved it. Only issue is it's MM only. SUTs and HA are a rabbit hole I don't want to go into again. I'm thinking of trying to find a Paradise.

    You need to go on the DIY forum and speak to the member called 'VAS'. From what I gathered he doesn't have a company or a website, just builds to order.
