• I went to this yesterday. It's huge and the sound is huge, and I love the DIY element, I'm not convinced it sounds as good as it looks though (there was a lot of room treatment in there), but obviously it can only sound as good as the recording.

    Could have done with a programme and timed slots, so there wasn't 1/100 chance of listening to a genre other than jazz.

    Weird that Technics have totally different design of motor in the 1200G.

  • I went twice, once it was things like 15 mins of wind chimes which was hardly showing the speakers off, another time it was the reel-to-reel, but a so-so live recording. My mate heard Björk one day, that was probably quite fulfilling.

    The more I read about the guy behind it the more I think he's a bellend, sadly

  • Thankfully didn't have to endure any wind chimes. Was a reel to reel recording when I was there. Bjork, yeah there's certainly some depth to her work, and Mark Bell was a great producer.

    I do like the DIY aspect, especially amps, but the amount of modifying of a Technics turntable is hardly worth it.

    Those speaker kits very expensive considering you have to build the cabinet yourself, and the JBL drivers they use aren't that expensive.
