Still Vinyl. All analogue Hifi Show

[Rare Bird]

Hi Guy:
I'm puzzled why it says Transcriptor Hyd Reference when it's a Transcriptor 'Saturn'!

That RD11 'Superiour' is an 80's deck..I had one it's a DC turntable..Nice but the motors are the flying saucer type papsts..

Nice pics guy..

Hello Guy,

Thanks for the interesting visit report and the photos. As a user of EMT equipment, I was pleased to see photographs of some of these turntables.

I'm not sure if some of the equipment on display are 'museum' pieces or are still in use by enthusiasts, however I note that there must be some 'mono' followers there; as both the EMT 930 and Thorens 124 decks are equipped with, respectively, an EMT mono cartridge (possibly an Ortofon made for EMT) an an SPU-A. Note also, that the Quad preamplifier situated underneath the Thorens deck is the monophonic Quad 2.

Seems you had a good time in Lisbon. You ought to ask for some commision from the Portugese tourist board!

Regards

That Papst pancake motor was also in the Source as far as I remember. Don't know why they've got the Transcriptors model wrong but I wouldn't have known that either!

Barry, the 950, 938, 930 and 124/Ortofon were borrowed from the radio station's collection. The 948 was a privately owned piece.

Aye had the PCB sandwiched between the motor body shell..Those 'Superiour' decks sounded nice, the one piece Sub/Platter was very light & had a great shine to the alloy..Bearing was a nice one, the weak point was the wood surround was very cheap made & the tin bottom pan which housed the power switch & speed pots..Top plate was loverly brushed stainless with nice printing...

You might remember the Audio Linear TD4001 deck that looked very simular to the Transcriptor 'Saturn'..I think Michell used to supply the deck parts to Audio Linear.They were made in Spain or Belgium i can't remember.

Great post - thanks for the many wonderful photographs.

Do you think this show will be an annual or biannual event now ?

Really like the Kenwood TT and of course seeing the Ariston brings back fond memories.......

Seems a great place to be in October - the fact there was a hi-fi show and an all analogue one at that is just the icing on the cake.

Hello All,

From Portugal at your disposal to enlight your doubts about Still Vinyl audishow.
Thank you Guy Sergeant for your wonderfull report about the show and the country. Our Minister of Tourism is very happy about your effort :-). I personaly do thank you also.

To answer some questions posted before:
- That was the second edition of the Still Vinyl show, the first was back in 2007. We are planning to do it next year. The professional and the entusiastic vinyl community want it.
- The transcritor is the Saturn model indeed. A big confusion was made arround that but things are already clarified;
- The speakers with the wonderfull sub are the pipedreams;
- Rui Borges, the TT manufacturer was there presenting his new model named UNO, an entry level with a 3.000€ price tag;
- Almost all the TT at the Vintage expo are working, including all the EMT models.
- Chris, can I help you about fado? First of all, two names, Amalia and Mariza. Some appetizers for Mariza ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeOhPR_0x8E, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTvjd...eature=related, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7UDQDl1tcw

Hi PCS,

Welcome to AoS! What does the 'P' stand for? We like to refer to each other by first name terms

The Still Vinyl show looked amazing, and Guy's photographs were excellent. I must make sure that I attend the next show. I have never been to Portugal before, but I would love to go, as the food and wine are excellent!

Enjoy AoS!

Marco.
