Overall this was a great show - about 30 - 35 rooms with most doing demonstrations, some of which were really successful. In some respects this beats Munich albeit on a much smaller scale.
Predictably (IMO) Absolute Sounds came up with three good rooms with dedicated demonstrations from Constellation/Magico/Metronome in one (with a representative from the former) and Wilson/Audio Research in another (with Peter McGrath there playing some of his own productions). Devialet were in the third (walk around) room with the Crystal Mini Arabesque (at one end) along with other kit at the other.
Other top rooms were (IMO) the amazing all-Townshend room, PMC (who always seem to demonstrate thoughtfully) (Bryston electronics), Fraser from Kog with Estelon/Vitus; and one or two others, including Tune Anima with the right music. The new Oppo HA-2 amplifier (which just clips on to an iPhone 6 or similar, and charges it at the same time) will be a real money spinner as should the Geek Out range of USB headphone amplifiers.
And there were just a few manufacturers or distributors talking rubbish to keep you humoured.
Nice to meet Guillaume again, and Rufus, and f1eng yet again.
