    Thanks to all of you who have replied so far. I've replied by pm to all ticket requests. Please, if you didn't get a pm response to your ticket request then do drop me another line :)

    I visited the Radisson hotel on Friday to have a look at using a larger room. Its a fabulous venue with plenty of open space, and it occured to me that it would be a great place for fellow Zero Gainers meet face-to-face.

    If you want to set up times to meet in my room (now 208) before decamping to the bar or coffee lounge then you are more than welcome :D

    edit: For AT's benefit I am of course refering to the two days of the Northern Hi-Fi show :newbie:

    Oh, nearly forgot. Anyone else requiring tickets please send a pm straight away. The last day I can accept requests and still have tickets posted in time for the show is Wednesday 28th Jan.

    Regards

    I've got an exam on on Wednedsday at 10:00am but then I can get the train from Salford to the airport so can probably there about 2:00ish or somthing.

    I am not sure where the hotel is yet but I will find it easily enough.

    What time does close?

    Amazingtrade!

    Wednesday is the last time for sending tickets, not the show date!

    The show is Sat/Sun ,7th/8th February, I think 10am till 5pm.

    The Radisson is right outside the front entrance to Terminal 2, just to the left as you approach. It is well signposted.

    Cheers,

    Ed.

    Well, at a guess I would say that as most of the companies listed on the tickets in SCIDB's link above are manufacturers, and most will have their own room, so it's a fairly safe bet that you'll see each companies prime product ranges ;)

    Then there's the retailers who will bring along their own stock plus some brands not covered directly by other exhibitors. What are Audio Works, Acoustica, Bradys, and Sevenoaks key brands then?

    The AudioWorks room will be playing an Accuphase DP-77 SACD/CD player into an Accuphase E-530 Class A integrated amp and the new Focal.JM Lab Diva Utopias.

    Other rooms where I have spies are

    Quadraspire will be launching the new Acrylic Reference table, using an Accuphase DP-67, a Spectral DMC 12, a Hot Tubes JD1 power amp and Focal.JM Lab Micro Utopias.

    Focal.JM Lab will be playing their Alto Utopias with dCS Verdi/Elgar and Spectral DMC15/DMA 100S. They will also have a smaller system in their large room.

    Sugden are going to use their Masterclass CD/Pre/Monoblocks into Focal.JM Lab Micro Utopias.

    RT Services (Accuphase/Spectral/Nagra etc distributor) have 3 rooms, one of which will be Nagra, don't know details on the others.

    Creek/Epos will launch the new CD50 Mk2 and the M12.2 & M15.2 speakers.

    I will be helping out Mr Spurt in the Philips room by providing the sound system - Roksan Caspian DVD/DSP/amp into Definitive Tecnology Mythos speakers and a REL Stadium.

    Let the party begin!
