Do we have an estimate of how many phono stages are coming so far? BTW, as Dave has already mentioned, this is on, two minutes walk from the bake-off: http://www.examiner.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/huddersfield-food-drink-festival-2017-13386349#r3z-addoor http://i1.examiner.co.uk/incoming/articl...

Maxonics look like interesting speakers. They look like a variation on the Altec 604 / Urei theme. And cost more than a 2 bedroomed terraced house in Huddersfield.

I am guessing David's point was the original speakers were fine, I have used them with good results in the past, its just they didnt work well in the room. The ns1000 do a better job, but I think until we get a bit more damping in what’s basically an empty room with direct speakers its going to be ...

I could bring my EV Sentry III speakers on the 6th if one or two people could help carry them in? NS1000's are fine for what they are, but wouldn't be my choice for evaluating world class phono stages. The speakers are there to allow us to hear the differences in each phono stage which was quite ev...

Will vehicle access be possible to the front of your premises, or will the roads be blocked off?

Also is there a full list of equipment currently due to be there? Turntable, arm, cartridge, pre-power / integrated amp, speakers plus phono stages?

...The truth is, it won't make a bit of difference to you whether the NVA is victorious or not. If something was better than the NVA, You can't say it, you can't write it. The only thing you can do is try and keep the competition at bay. To me, if the Arkless, Firebottle ,Schiit ,Tron, NVA or any o...

If on playing the distorted clip a second time, I was unable to tell whether I was being played the distorted version or not then yes that would indicate that large differences can be masked by the brain. But that was not the case with this example. Every time I heard the distorted version I was fu...

But then I'd also argue that if the differences between 2 components are so subtle that I'd struggle to tell them apart in an AB test, then is it worth me spending any money on? Pareto and all that. Thats a strangely inverted argument. The point I was making is that because of the way the brain wor...

Interesting radio link, Nick. If you play the highly distorted version and the non distorted version it's obvious to anyone listening which is the less distorted version. With hi-fi if you're comparing 2 components / systems with relatively large sonic differences, that'll still be detected by the l...

Is this event still taking place on the 6th August?

If so, do we have a current list of all equipment that's expected to be there?
