How did you go @Nick b - any progress?

We look forward to offering you advice and guidance @Bigneddy What are you running currently?

Welcome Geoff.

Graet little setup there. Qutest has to be the best value DAC on the market right now.

These could certainly help: https://www.svsound.com/products/soundpath-subwoofer-isolation-system Else, check out Isoacoustics and see if they have a solution to isolate your sub too.

It's very easy to criticise when you have no idea what's involved. As a show organiser, I can assure you it's not about "trying to spin money". The local industry here needed to be stimulated as a way of finding new audiences and exposing them to quality hi-fi and sound. To organise this one show per year, my wife and I work full time for over 5 months on it, and there are ridiculous amounts of costs involved. From hiring registration desks, thousands of dollars of printing, marketing (extensive), insurances, lanyards, wrist bands, security, in-show banners and signs, then the biggest one - the venue costs. We also have a large spaces that is $16K AUD to exhibit in for the weekend. It's all about taking your costs, putting a margin on to justify the work (because I imagine like you, we have bills to pay and would like to be paid for what we do). My point is, perhaps you shouldn't just make the assumption that it's just a money spinning exercise. You clearly do not understand the associated costs and work involved in running a successful show.

Welcome Andrew and glad you could join us!

Welcome @andrewgm - it's early days for our little UK forum but we do genuinely seek to build a strong community here as other forums close and wither away.

Great write up and shots too Jay. Thanks for sharing!

Have you checked the manual? Are you sure the display is not just timing out (given you say connected devices continue to be powered)? What are the options for this in the menu?

UK is fortunate to have quite a number of shows each year. For an international visitor, which is the largest if I were thinking of attending? Which one has more of the manufacturers present, rather than local distributors? Which show is your favourite and why? TIA! 🙂
