So there you have it in a brief synopsis. I have never seen such a big show nor one that was so well attended.

I'm going to try and catch up with sleep and tomorrow i will post pictures and thoughts on some amazing systems I heard in the Philippines followed by another thread of our general goings on while in Hong Kong, Manila and Palawan so stay tuned for that.

Thread is now open

I'm just knocked out. Terrific photos. You seemed like the proverbial kid in a candy store. Is anyone allowed to have that much fun?!!
But my guess is that the friendship renewals and private systems you can share were equally rewarding. Can't wait for the other shoe to drop.

Very cool Steve, thanks for posting! Was the giant AS tt working or just on static display?

No tone arm the first day and then a tone arm with no cartridge

Hi David

On day one there was no arm on it. We played hooky and went to Macau on day two. On day three, there was an arm on it but no cart. Go figure. I guess thant means it wasn't totally "static" but unless it played when we weren't around. it was totally silent.

TBH, the Hong Kong show was a mere prelude to what I saw and heard in Manila. I have 100's of photos and need to cull them but many times the photos help me remember the complete system

Tomorrow I want to start a thread on the systems I heard in Manila, which frankly were some of the best and most unique that I have ever heard
