Some lovely bits of kit there vmate. Shame my ears are too knackered to fully appreciate the sound quality. Did anything really catch your ear sand eyes? Gotta say they had some weird looking speakers on some of them,
Well you know, my objective is editorial and not acquisition. It all sounded incredible. Not a bad one in the bunch. Triode is in a price area that would meet my budget. That’s all tube based and the HQ is near my home. I may visit and make a video there, if they are amenable. But Accuphase and Luxman; even the vintage kit retains its value. I have an early Luxman that I’m quite happy with so not actively on the hunt.
Great stuff, Ricey. Super efficient and expensive stuff. I can dream can't I? The Accuphase A-300 is the power to get if you listen to modern classical recordings, especially smaller chamber group stuff, or 'acoustic ' jazz. And then everything else.
Wow some gear. Was that a Accuphase phono stage in the ortofon room as well? Amazing eye candy in all rooms. Whilst I listen to all types of music most of the music choices were traditional conservative safe choices to show off gear.
Yes. On the media cart that was an Accuphase amplifier in service in the Ortofon room. I was pleasantly surprised the Accuphase staff auditioned a CD from an audience member, but by and large the music being auditioned was opera, Japanese city pop, conservative Jazz and orchestra. It's a display show and not a selling show. That point was clarified to me by one of the vendors. Thanks for commenting.
"Audio show"? You can't show audio! You hear audio! When will these people learn anything! With that said, feel free to send me one of those turntables. I promise not to complain when you do, provided that you do a good job of packaging it.
Look up TechDAS; that TT featured prominently in many of the rooms. According to one visitor who chatted me up; it boasts the most expensive tonearm in the world.

A man can dream.. right? Amazing engineering and precision.
exactly (pardon the pun)
Esoteric gear looked chic 👍

Watching this I realize how little I know about Audio
Every room sounded fantastic. I found it hard to differentiate one from the other. Some were million dollar configurations....
