beautiful . the long dog monos were playing in a another room
good to catch up with folks and Mr C of course . brilliant show . lovely to see the tannoy room which are now made in Hamilton . they were using fairly expensive cad boxs into the spare fifth terminal on the stirling . 1500 quid. be nce to see a demo with and without them
loads of perlisten . lots of great stuff . nothing blew me away but nice to see the primare stuff and parasound rooms

Enjoyed the show think in some cases (NVA) the sound this year was much better . Liked the JMR speakers with a Rega amp and Italian CD player forgot the name . This was quite modest but really did play lovely music . Spoke to Tony and the room looked great sound was a bit over shadowed by bleed in from the next room which was boomy bass and tended to make any critical listening difficult .
A number of rooms were in my view very hard to like , Grimm , Kii , Chord small room with Kudos speakers all had a sound which was detailed and separated but sounded like a cardboard cut out of music rather than real all those demoing it thought it sounded good when I asked so perhaps this is a thing for many . Auralic and ATC 40 Active made some nice music they agreed and played Blue Monday which sounded good , played this on my second system three way active when I got home and it just sounded much more real .
Glad that shows are now a thing again and I think most rooms sounded better than the general standard last year . Choice of music was again in my view an issue simple solo female vocal with a guitar is not going to ever show what any system can do . I managed to hear only five Sultans of Swing , Two Dark Side of the Moon and three Eagle,s but there was some variety . I took along a single CD and was able to get that played in a few rooms and more seemed to have internet access this time and some of them did allow requests . Grimm room played Grace Jones My Jamaican Guy 12" Mix which was in my view bloody weak and not anything like as powerful as it should be . This can sound better through my Quad ESL 57 which should just never happen .
