Great show, thanks for pics Reggie. Some superb sounds from the thread room and horning speakers. Great to catch up with Mr and Mrs firebottle and a number of others

ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

Blimey that's a small show, just four rooms.
Kuzma Stabi/S 12", (LP12-bastard) DC motor and optical tacho psu, Benz LP, Paradise (phonostage). MB-Pro, Brooklyn dac and psu, Bruno Putzeys balanced pre, mod86p dual mono amps, Yamaha NS1000m
A good day out, great to meet up with fellow AoSers and others.
I have now heard the end game speaker. The Audio Avec room was like stepping into another dimension, the sound was flawless.
No .... really, flawless. It could have been any artist playing live but the price was eye watering.
The amplifier used was the AudioNec AAD2 with built in dac. I don't know the price of this.
The speakers were AudioNec Diva XL, a nice little 2 metre tall speaker with twin 15 inch woofers.
Way out of mere mortals reach but mesmerising.
The price, oh just a measly £242,000.
No in show discount, I asked

The very big one — 2m + high ? With speaker cable like tug boat rope.
Sounded great though - amazingly life like and relaxed at quite a low volume.
Will post photo tomorrow if nobody else does.
Personally I found the show a waste of time but had some benefits:
1. Free but felt like I should be paid to attend
2. Free coffee - well need to find some positive aspect
3. No crowds - in fact hard to find anybody in some rooms
4. Did buy some nice new rare Chandos direct to metal Lp’s at good price (£12)
5. Somewhere dry and warm on a wet day still trying to find positives so I give up now
Agree with previous posters that the Kerrs (all 3 sizes in different MCRUS rooms) and Thoress speakers were nice.

Sorry - taking pictures was a bit of an after-thought - so only a few of them taken (and some were even worse than the ones I have posted - so I've saved you from having to look at those).
Also I've been to quite a lot of shows, and tend to almost skim-read some rooms. So in no way a thorough reflection of the show on my part.
@Firebottle - The The Audio Avec room was very good. I only found it right of the end of the visit when I was about to head home, so I didn't spend as much time in it as I had other rooms and it didn't register in my memory as other rooms had, but I think I know where you are coming from.
