[size=18pt]First of all also from me big big [/size]
[size=18pt]thanks to ANDY for organizing such a thrilling meet !!![/size]
It is good to know to have a real friend around.
Its was a long way to come to Cambridge but it was worth every single mile.
Unfortunately I was too busy to browse around to see most of the other exiting stuff displayed.
Also thanks to John for the photos – may I use some of them ?
I never have been outside of London when I was in GB but I promise that I will come back.
Would be nice if somebody could secure this outstanding weather for my next visit

Another impression:
At the Arcam table, they had a new DAC (full size I think), which took the digital output of an ipod/iphone and allegedly sprinkled some extra special magic dust on it - to turn the ipod into a high end source.
So I plugged in my ipod touch and listened to a 256k AAC track ripped from my Laura Veirs CD and directly compared that track to the self same CD on Arcam's top only CDP.
The two were very close, so looks like mission accomplished. Anyone who wants to get the very best out of their ipod should give this a try - or borrow Dave's BHSE )
Surely you are referring to the D33, Arcam's full sized DAC in the FMJ size case. It is the device they lent me for an hour or two. I had been mightily impressed when I first heard it briefly at Bristol, but did not entertain notions of owning such a costly DAC. Now having heard the effect in my own system, well the result is as as I said on page 1 of this thread "Those who were near me at the time realised I was drooling for an Arcam D33. I can’t stop thinking of it. This is a dangerous obsession -throw a bucket of water over me, someone."
PS Thanks for the super photos John
