Thanks to the whole team for a heroic effort setting up our huge space at the Royal Ascot Club room. As always, Ascot is a beautiful venue and we were lucky that our room had a great view of the course. After the fun of moving five tons of equipment up to the room, we managed to get a great sound from four demo systems across a wide price range.
For those of you who want all the technical details:
System 1: YG Sonja 3.2 loudspeakers, Bel Canto Black Control DAC, Technics SL-1000R turntable, Ortofon Xpression cartridge, Boulder 2108 phono preamp, Boulder 2110 line preamp, 2 x Boulder 1160 stereo power amps, Aurender W20SE music server, Cardas Clear Beyond cables, HIFISTAY Mythology Transform equipment supports.
System 2: YG Vantage 3 Live complete audio system, Cardas Clear Beyond power cables.
System 3: YG Ascent loudspeakers, Bel Canto Black ACI 600 integrated streaming amplifier, Bergmann Modi turntable with Thor Arm, Ortofon Winfeld Ti cartridge, Cardas Clear Beyond cables.
System 4: YG Cairn loudspeakers, Boulder 866 integrated streaming amplifier, Cardas Clear Beyond cables.
It was great to be hosting a room together with Bel Canto, Boulder and Cardas, and we want to say a special thank you to HIFISTAY for their amazing equipment supports and help setting up.
Looking forward to welcoming guests tomorrow at the UK Hi-Fi Show 2023 Live!
