Vinyl and digital replay was equally enjoyable on the big-ticket system.

None of the attendees I spoke to, identified themselves as a hifi forum member and only one came to specifically audition the Exposure 3510 CD player, as a potential upgrade from his existing Exposure XM model.

Its always beneficial to "benchmark" by listening to different systems, in alternative settings, to get an idea of what others are listening to and indeed, what dealers and distributors consider to be representative of a system capable of delivering a musically satisfying performance within different budget ranges.

I always enjoy a get-together with other enthusiasts and these events are a good alternative to attending shows, if the equipment being demonstrated is of interest to you.
