Another who thinks "best show yet". I've never enjoyed so many systems so much. Though I'm supposed to be a vinyl fan, my absolute favourites were perhaps the open-reel/BBC Rodgers; the Roksan/Ming Da/Fostex (best. bass. ever.) But heck, so many others were great that if I were to list them all I'd virtually be reciting the exhibitor spreadsheet.
The best music, as ever, was Dean.
Massive thanks to everyone who exhibited: I know what a long day it is, and how hard it can be to get something to sing in those little rooms. Everyone did a brilliant job.
