Thanks, Martin. It always amazes me that some vendors pay so little attention to their presentation and their racks look more of a mess than mine!

Indeed, and I've ranted in the past about poor sound quality at shows, too.
It's not inexpensive to appear at a show and you'd have thought the vendor would make every effort to put on a good sound.

Indeed. I've helped out Nick at a few shows and we go to great lengths to get the best sound we can, more than can be said for a lot of exhibitors. Sometimes it's a losing battle though, depending on the room. You cant polish a turd..
What we have found is there is much improvement to be had from room treatments.

Just for a laugh a basic room @ Munich this year is 12000 Euro's room only, so buy the time you have transported your goods there, set up, accommodation for a week, vehicle rental, staff wages and expenses you are looking at the thick end of £20K.
For the larger rooms you are talking £40K plus, that is why so many are on the concourses which is a more manageable lol 5K Euro for the space
I do agree room presentation is important and polite informative staff is also a pre requisite.
Not quite the same as rocking up at Cranage and doing it all for a few £k to a load of lovable whippet thrashers and toe tappers!

Hah! If there is one thing I could change, it would be for the staff to shut the f*ck up when demonstrating music, rather than standing at the back with their mates droning on throughout. It's rude and ignorant and pisses off the paying public.

Needs to be like the best DJs, like John Peel
Talk when necessary then let the music talk

I read nothing about it, but the looks of that Accuphase E-480 made me drool all over the keyboard. I came to the conclusion, a long time ago, that if I had an unlimited supply of cash I'd most probably end up with an aircraft-hanger-sized space full of vintage, and the occasional bit of retro, hi-fi kit.  p.s. Is that Verity Audio Lakme speaker running on gas, or compressed air? |

That Accuphase amp is standard quality gorgeous for the brand.
Are you referring to the hosepipe speaker cables? My Kimber Select 3035 cables used to look like snakes. Size isn't everything!
