Guest Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 have you been taking spell check lessons off the doc again?x-material is available locally, custom fabrication about $950 a sheet 2400 x 1200 x 25. all my toys arrive next eek. I must be .Its sad because I know what eek means . Weren't you building new amps are they going to be there.
Guest guru Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 i've got high spec p-4 balanced amps coming in this shipment parallel 300b's running into ultra high b c-cores. ultra high b interstage transformers preamp output transformers in the m-6 so lots of nice iron. i've been building some isolation platforms for the monoblocks and speaker x-overs so i can keep the speaker cable runs down to 80cms. looks good, used a veneer that looks like persian lamb skin, smoked black and karelian birch highlights.

That lot sound good enough to eat .I got the bits for those iso feet we were talking about . Cheers
Guest guru Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 they should work well. the x-overs are in a chassis like your old dac-1 and sit in an enclosed space underneath the amp support which is suspended by tonneau shock cord loops ,36 in total. i can sit on top of it and it drops by 5 mm. there is a recess on the top for a slab of basalt for the amp to sit on, same as those bochhino platforms. will bring them to melbourne to use at the show. only problem is i need 6 mtr intrconnects.

Volunteer sir sanders zingmore Posted June 7, 2011 Volunteer Posted June 7, 2011 Exhibitor list: http://www.chestergroup.org/index.php?option=com_joomd&view=joomd&Itemid=271
Keith_W Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Exhibitor list:http://www.chestergroup.org/index.php?option=com_joomd&view=joomd&Itemid=271 Interesting list Seems as if most of the Aussie speaker manufacturers are there - Aaron, SGR, VAF, Whatmough, Duntech/Orpheus, Equinox, Osborn, Richter. Notable: no LSK, Whise, Krix, or Adelaide Speakers. Also seems as if no amp or TT manufacturers will be turning up - where is Continuum, Once Analog, Aspen, Halcro, Weston, Redgum, and SKA? There is the usual line-up of dealers - PMG (i.e. WarwickF/Luckydog/Critter/Mondie), Audio Connection, Finn (i.e. guru), SoundLabs (i.e. Leon), and a few I haven't heard of. The two biggest rooms (Yarra 1 and Yarra 2) are taken by SGR Audio and Hagemeyer Brands. Not sure who Hagemeyer are - a quick google shows that they import things like Polaroid, JVC, Omega, etc?
firefly0071 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) I will be going - flying from Sydney but I have my parents' home to stay and catch up them. It's a family visit with a side visit to the show - WAF. Do Exhibitors give say a 5% percent discount for Show purchases? Edited June 7, 2011 by firefly0071

"runs and hides"

New Sensations Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 42 exhibitors? That list can't be complete.........can it?

Interesting Krix aren't there Keith, that's a surprise. As for the others you mention, once you factor in accommodation, shipping, print materials, and all the other things that add up, you're looking at $10k just to be there. Simply too expensive for the small boutique, direct to consumer, low volume, low margin businesses. I could go to Rocky Mountain Audiofest (including return airfares) and do a display there cheaper than in Melbourne - go figure! DEQX aren't there either - they'll be in the US instead.

ENIGMA Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I noticed a couple of significant retailers/distributors not there. Spat the dummy did they?

Guest guru Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 42 exhibitors? That list can't be complete.........can it? i think they only count exhibitors as those who have paid the 25% deposit already, other might have intentions but haven't inked the cheque.
ENIGMA Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) About what? You'd be surprised of the politics between certain individuals. See how it ends up when doors open. Great list so far, i'm looking forward to it and there is one guy who told me he may be there that is not yet on the list. Edited June 7, 2011 by ENIGMA
New Sensations Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 You'd be surprised of the politics between certain individuals. No. No I wouldn't. Not one bit.
ENIGMA Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 No. No I wouldn't. Not one bit. It is a strange industry at times, just wait for all the weird audiophiles to show up! Oh crap, i think i'm one of them....Doh!
Tony M Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) From the website: "So with our two expert teams in place and the show nearly 2/3rds sold" So, can anyone explain what "two expert teams" and the "nearly 2/3 sold" bits mean? Cheers Tony Edit I think I understand, but I just want to make sure I've got it right - looks like they anticipate the numbers will expand by 20+ exhibitors - hope so. Edited June 7, 2011 by Tony M

Keith_W Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Something else to note about the exhibitors. Number of distributors from NSW: 22. From Victoria: 13. From SA: 1. QLD: 1. Seems as if the show is rather poorly supported by the home state. Also seems as if a number of prominent Victorian importers don't seem to be represented. Will wait and see.
