Agreed. What he’s doing is great IMO. It is also a neat twist between established concepts, e.g. the many ‘live vs. recorded’ demonstrations from the likes of Quad, Wharfedale, Leak etc back in home audio’s golden age that took place at classical music venues, plus the whole Japanese culture for ‘jazz bars’. The Japanese have led the way for decades when it comes to high-end audio; not the mass market stuff they sell to the world, but establishing the whole idlers, valves and horns vintage culture that Devon is building on. It is all just another facet of the same story. This is real audio, not the naff consumer or vulgar oligarch lifestyle tat that we are usually force-fed. He’s presenting ideas more than selling equipment. I bet a lot who visit will have had their eyes opened and will walk away knowing there is far more to hi-fi than some tacky little gloss painted MDF box with tiny drivers for a couple of £k. That is a very good thing IMO. I wish I could get there for a listen!
Damn, Tony beat me to it.
