Success for The Audio Consultants at the UK Audio Show 2021

Success at the UK Audio Show 2021

The first UK audio show since 2019 was extremely successful for us. Both Saturday and Sunday had good footfall and our room was constantly busy right through to closing time with many coming back multiple times. We achieved an exceptionally good sound in our room for the entire two days of the show.

We offered two listening experiences using both CD and vinyl as sources. The first focusing on the Luxman D-10X Reference CD player into either the Luxman L-590A Class A amplifier or the AVM A 6.2 Master Edition amplifier. Both amplifiers drove the Kudos Titan T707 loudspeakers with ease and, considering the space was 60 sq m, produced a very large sound stage. The sound was way beyond the boundaries of the speakers and very deep. Height delineation between instruments and voices was very clearly demonstrated.

The Kudos Titan T707 loudspeakers were much admired as were the Eggleston Works Emma EVO. Whilst a different price point, half that of the T707s, the Emma EVO performed well in a room larger than they would normally be used in.

The second big attraction was the new DS Audio DS-003 optical cartridge. This was deemed one of the best heard at the show and partnered with the Nottingham Analogue Ace SpaceDeck produced large and very dynamic sound pictures.

We were using the Special Edition of the Puritan Audio PSM 1512 made exclusively for The Audio Consultants. With the large voltage swings experienced at the hotel during the show, this undoubtedly contributed to the holographic sound we consistently achieved during the two days.

All the signal cables, the ground cables, and the power cords were from GutWire Cables, again contributing to the overall transparency and large sound stage.

The HRS and Lateral Audio equipment supports provided good isolation from acoustic feedback improving image stability, dynamic speed, and overall naturalness of tone.

We were frequently complimented on the sound we achieved; many were kind enough to deem it the best sound at the show. Even some industry and fellow exhibitors were generous enough to say the same.
