In Reply to: London Calling - DIY, Ultra-Fi et al Show in Spring 2005???? posted by Thorsten on October 1, 2004 at 03:51:37:
This is one brilliant idea. As the Heathrow show lurches towards endless 5.1 Home Theatre rooms chugging out Terminator and shaking the walls, one pines for the snows of yesteryear - exciting audio products produced by fanatics. Now, if this show were CHEAP to book, a whole lot of boutique people would come out of the closet. The DIY speaker makers - IPL, Wilmslow etc - should be there. The Germans like SteinLabs and Allen Wright should be there (don't mention the.....) The valve sellers that regularly go to the Birmingham Autumn vintage wireless show should be there - Jim Fish from Wilson etc. It would be nice to see some exotica - to invite some Russians, Czechs etc. Some of the French exotica would be great.
I think that a show where people could actually sell stuff off stands would be necessary, because then it would be worthwhile for many to attend and bring parts, valves etc. I'm sure this can be done, because the London Show already sells parts, books and vinyl.
The other thing that would be great would be some area for people to bring their own creations - amps, preamps, DACs etc - and plug them in for all to have a listen. With maybe some prizes for best of show. Owners would, of course, have to parade their amps up and down, running beside them, and the amps would be marked for obedience, grooming etc.
As for helping with all this - let's have a look. Ah, I will be in Ulan Batur for the next 7 years I see......... what a shame.
