My rather meagre collection of phone shots (well, that's my excuse for their quality, don't want to put too much pressure on Gromit and Jack...)

Room 237 to start with then 2 other rooms:









Vintage Sony Collection





Elite Audio

wOOw awesome photography Jack, very well done Sir...! Many SUPERB looking systems there. I must attend some year.

Can I ask please which camera/lens did Jack capture these great images on..?

:love:
He has a Canon 500D with a standard 18-55mm lens. A nice camera but nothing special. He did photography as one of his GCSE exams and got an A*. Glad you liked them.

They are amazing photos! Should have known it was a canon, (but via a great photographer obviously) 500D is it, might have to upgrade. I'm still on a 300D, still takes stunning photos but the screen on the back isn't much bigger than a watch face  :)

Tim,

talent with a modest camera will always beat fancy camera with a muppet holding it (that would be me, which is why I don't)

not surprised on the exam result at all, I mean what I said when i saw him with his camera I knew we were in for a treat

Well made Good price if you like some  'rich'bass emphasis in your repro. Some B W design similarities . Probably OK if not cornered and to synergise  to  other bass mean kit/room then they are a. Bargain .

I think Sony worked closely with B&W in the past.

They are still making high quality loudspeakers. Their SS-AR1 cost $27,000 and appear to be available in the US, not the UK.

^ I probably got into about 50% of the rooms this year - this was one of my favourites - playing CD at the time.

The above looks like my system. :D Nice pictures ! ( I FORGOT MY CAMERA)

The new DDDAC 1794 / Chevron Audio had just been built for me by Colin a week before the show, so it was a great to give it a run out.  :nerves:   Also new (to me anyway) a modified Audio Technica Turntable AT-LP5 IPT from Audio Files was also given a spin out, so it was nice to get positive feedback on the day and afterwards.

I seem quite settled with the sound and products in this system for now. (famous last words, until i attend another bakeoff ) xD

Thanks for your comments guys it makes lugging all this gear around all the more worth while, i'm also glad you enjoyed the show and the systems that the other exhibitors brought. Being able to experience a variety of systems/ sounds/camaraderie all in on place is what this show is all about ! :^

That modified AT-LP5 sounded absolutely lovely!! Made my standard tonearm / Ortofon 2M combo sound humbled...

I have not heard the standard model Rob as i didn't get round to many rooms, but this modded version certainly restored my interest in vinyl again after many many years being out of it................ I blame Spider (Tim) It is his fault, he always has great turntables making fantastic sounds every time i visit his bakeoffs.

It just hits the right spot and gels well with the rest of the system. We didn't have much vinyl with us that day,  i'm glad you liked it Rob. :^

So your next upgrade is...................... ...............slippery slope.......................................................... ?

It's already been said that Dave's system was tremendous in a very baffling way, he was kind enough to play a live Lianne Le Havas track I had with me, I just shook my head in disbelief....

Lovely sounding pass labs mono's (I think) with Kudos Super 20, a modern speaker I didn't expect to enjoy but sounded pretty smooth along with the clarity. Thanks for being a welcoming host michbam and sharing your knowledge of the kit built by Ed.

You were kind enough to give me a copy of the article relating to the upgrade... let's just say it's on my desk pending the allocation of sufficient funds ;)

You did indeed - it was in Syndicate Room 23 alongside a Sony PS-X9. As a visitor said to me "That's the poshest DJ setup I've ever seen"!

It's the deck with the blue record on the platter in Bazzer's photos.

Captions would be good. Some of the gear is more obvious from its styling but most aren't.
