Nicely done sir, I really did enjoy the show, even Amy (my daughter) enjoyed it, and she is the future .HiFiWigwam said:I was also amazed at how many new visitors their were, which only bodes well for the future.
I really enjoyed your tunes mate. I'd have told you if I didn't.Really enjoyed my time with your system Rick... was a nice musical haven after the missus went to bed early early on Saturday night. You even put up with my music for a long while. Hope the CD player is an easy cheap fix...
No problem. Shame it didn't work out for me. The number of people that asked what my TT was because it clearly wasn't a HyperspaceThanks also to you Rick for doing the spreadsheet amendments :^
It's good to have seen you, at least you got a glimpse of the machines... There's always next year for a good listen ;-)I had every intention of spending time in your room with that superb setup, sadly I only managed to get a 10 minute break thanks to @Bazzer , so I failed with you and many others. Glad we got to have a catch up on the Saturday night though.
You were very welcome Barry, it's a great album, and I was happy to listen to it and chat while assembling my "speaker stands" (Ikea Jokkmokk stools). Talking of assembly, the amp that I had hoped to bring will get built... didn't quite make it for this year, but I do need to reclaim the dining room carpet:Thanks Everyone........
..... for the music
in particular , @Maverick (Hunky Dory , whole album) , @greybeard (Oasis - Champagne Super Nova ) , @occasional thinker ( Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker , whole album ) , @bandit pilot (Bowie - Heroes ) and last but not least @rmsshipbroker , @robin (FGTH - Relax , 12inches ) :rockin:
It was our pleasure. So nice to meet people who share our impeccable taste!I'd like to take this opportunity now that my hands have thawed out to say a big thank you for the warm welcome shown by so many to my friend Clive and myself. The welcome received even on the Saturday evening (despite a certain score line) made the effort of biking over from Northern Ireland very worth while. We enjoyed the whole experience tremendously and I reckon it has cemented our desire to exhibit ourselves sometime and show you all what we have been up to DIY wise as well.
I'd to thank every one involved, organisers and exhibitor alike, I think you need to be there to appreciate the huge commitment involved, we take our proverbial hats off to each and every one of you.
Finally a more personal thank you to Raphael and his wife Sally (not sure of his wammer moniker) also to Jeff and Chris (Oldius and Son) for their extended hospitality and sheer good company throughout the weekend, it was very much appreciated.
'til we meet again.
Thank You
Mike and Clive
Steve,I really enjoyed the show, as always. Had to make a couple of visits to Oldius and sons room. Those Yamaha’ are brilliant. Don’t think I heard a bad system. Nice to see Diverse Vinyl at the show. Now got another music shopping list following all the Shazams. I didn’t expect to buy a new subwoofer while I was there though.
Steve
It sounded brilliant, it might even be my favourite :^The Technics DAC is one I am blessed to own Craig. When I think that it is 23 years old and has blown away all the other DAC's I have had in my system, I really can appreciate the investment that Technics made at the time, trying to show the world what they could do, and producing, with the other Japanese companies, statement pieces that are still relevant today.
It was sounding very good. Made me smile suggesting Dire Straits and ending up with Crowded House.Steve,
That's really nice of you thank you. We have had some really nice feedback and it really is appreciated. The Yamahas have been recapped to original specification but they are so incredibly revealing that you have to get the rest of the system right. I have tried several amps, and I know people say they respond well to valves, but the Lentek is a superb match, providing the power and subtlety that the Yamaha's need. The Technics DAC provides an incredible signal and I have no intention of replacing any of my current gear: I have sold a stack of more expensive stuff to end up here.
My apologies, Dire Straits are not up my alley but we got there!It was sounding very good. Made me smile suggesting Dire Straits and ending up with Crowded House.
