Blog from the HiFi show at Silverstone

Hi All,

I'm going to be at the show all weekend helping Conrad run one of his 2 rooms there. I thought this might be a good opportunity for a Blog - a learning process for me and perhaps a bit of fun for everyone else.

You will be able to see what's going on at the following address:

please bear with me as I'm new to it - but hopefully could be interesting especially if you can't make it to the show.

cheers philip

 

yes, look foward to see conrad, it will quite interesting! tell him joseph will have a big blog,
regards,
nando.

 

As always Nando - I never quite seem to understand your posts,
ho hum.

you will if you know the history, i do not talk rocket science but i do know what i have to say, further more i will not discuss why i am indifirent with conrad but you can rest assure when i meet face to face i will speak my mind, give you a clue, when avid started i help sales to introduce the t/t's to all my friends and family , as time went on, and avid went further, all of a sudden i am not a dealer, eat that,
nando.

 

you know there is a well known saying, dance a yard before you dance abroad,
nando.

 

Nando as always I am sure there are two sides to a story.

on a personal note - don't know about your history - all I can say is that Conrad is a friend of mine, I have known him for about 5 yrs since I first came across his turntables. I really wanted to shoot them as I found them asthetically rather beautiful.

I decided to approach him and our friendship developed from there. To be honest I find his no nonsense approach quite refreshing. But I'm sure it polarizes opinions, as you are probably aware too hey Nando

Well, I'll see you there. Conrad made us all welcome at his open day earlier this year, and I'm certainly interested in his new phono stage.

 

Hi Fen Dancer,

You went to the open day? Was it good. I fancied going but couldn't get the time of work.

I have known him for about 10 years. He popped into my room at the "pie" show. I wasn't using my Acutus at the show (could get it in the car)

I will be looking at his phono stage as well.

regards ,
nando.

 

We've nearly finished setting up and have got the beers in! Hope to see you all here.

Hi Rob,
