Eek - not my favourite speakers when John Jeffries of Sounds of Music (the designer) demo'd them to me some years ago. I hope they've improved.Quote:

Thank you Alex :)

Ah well ... the "II Signature" added extra value! :)Quote:

I had a pair of John Jeffries' Lumley M120 valve monoblock amps, though. Very nice.

These sounded really very nice too!
My Camera Lens jammed out at this point so that's the last.
I agree Chris. All the Voyds on the day sounded great & I will buy one at some point.Quote:

Hi all,
Well, looks like a good time was had by all, which is what the Scalford Show is all about, Also it gives people the chance to meet up and put faces to the members who contribute to the main UK Audio forums etc. I am really sorry I couldn’t attend this year as not been very well lately, Really glad to hear that the AOS room was well received etc.
So a big up to Marco and the rest of the guys [Nick John etc] for their efforts, hopefully I will be there for the next one.
Last but not least a big thank you to people like Alfie etc for taking such great picks of the show and for sharing them with those of us who couldn’t attend for various reasons, much appreciated.:)
Regards, Anthony, TD.
Think I'm ok at the moment, thanks John, you can finish the biscuits!Quote:

But good to see/hear the Leak 3075s! Those, and the 57s were nicest?
Non-aggressive sound unlike some rooms,i thought.
Though I realised I'd missed the Apogees in the labyrinth!
I still liked my own system when I got home, which was nice!Quote:

Did you get a chance to listen to the AoS system? If so, you're feedback, positive or negative, would be appreciated :cool:
I also thought Rabski's 57s, with supertweeters, sounded rather good :)
Marco.
The AR Legend is just stunning, to trouser-tumescence levels :lol:.

However, we'll make up for your absence big time next year! I'd love to hear your Soul amp driving the Celestions, which would act as a nice contrast to Martin's superb Chord. We could do half the day with each amp, which I'm sure would be very interesting...
We can also go for a curry and a few beers with the lads from Wigwam, so that should be a giggle! :cool:
Marco.
I'm looking forward to it already.Quote:

Aha, so that's 'The Ultimate' mains lead then? Was the other one of your lines on show the Oyaide tonearm cable?
yes mate that was itQuote:

Top marks to AOS for their room too-excellent sound. The first room I came across that had what I'd call a decent stereo sound-stage too. Lovely sounding system.
Nice to see John again-been awhile and to say hello to Marco and Beech.
I kept coming back for more throughout the day so you must have been doing it right.
Just say i had a great day.
I was exhibiting so only made a few rooms on the sat afternoon.
Although i didn't hear the aos room i heard very good reports.
Nice pics alfie.
The helius on the voyd is the mk 3 orion.
The mk 2 were 2 piece were the mk3 is 1.
Missed DrRock, Duvet and Amdismal's rooms... :( Shame, they look very interesting.
I believe the Decca Volts are pretty rare? They certainly made a very nice noise - one of those systems that showed we haven't really advanced that much the last few decades...Quote:
