Sounds like a great couple of days. Damned shame about the weather. The most likely reason for is being quiet. I do agree with the date being moved till a more hospitable time of the year. There is bound to be teething problems when you swap venues for such a large event. I am going to get there next year methinks.

Very unlucky with the weather, who'd have thought. It's probably down to cost at this time of year. Apparently 300 paying customers, that is very poor.

Tell that to an accountant

Well your not paying so why do you care?

No more comments about this now, Neil already said that earlier. Pete got it right with what he said. People make an effort it should be applauded not criticised,

Hear hear. We were there for the weekend, attending the Lenco Heaven bake off on the Saturday. It was a shame that the attendance was low but I thought it a good venue.
My best moments were getting to hear a Paradise phono stage (plus very mini bake off) and Yamaha NS1000 speakers. The yams were very electrostatic in presentation, right up my street.

Oh, who took the Paradise and what other equipment was it partnered with? Also, how did it sound?

[hifinutt]

yes , i guess thats why its good the show has some financial backing. if this was just amateurs running as in the beginning it could be very painful indeed

Well, Mrs. B and i made it up and back without incident. We had a lovely night at the hotel we stayed at and thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the show. It was great to finally hear some rooms other than my own!

We heard some great sounds but a few rooms deserve an honourable mention:

- ff1d1l - those Ureis were fantastic and top man for allowing me to subject some poor innocents to Infected Mushroom!

- The Flash with his room full of Pioneer goodness. Obviously high end 'Japcrap' is never anything less than wonderful but I'd never heard the Prologue speakers before and was very impressed.

- Daniel Ring's room full of Sony loveliness - and a B&O turntable as well! There should be more B&O at these events - I keep saying this but no-one listens...

- Sony Guy's room full of more Sony goodness. Some lovely equipement and the smell of vintage electronics in here was just sublime!

But the coveted Beobloke "best in show" award has to go to...........................Hondola!

2 Philips CD104s, an impossibly small Aurex preamp and those magnificent Philips MFB speakers were the sound of the show for me. Even Mrs. B was really impressed by them, which I feel sure means I have an automatically approved purchase order to buy some...
