Audio Note U.K. – RMAF 2014
The Audio Note U.K. room at RMAF 2014
The modest AN J/D speakers here were setup extremely well [thanks to Dave Cope, the exhibitor and AN rep. Neli and I had to take over exhibitor duties here from Dave due to a family emergency]. We all know [well, maybe not] that speaker setup is not a science, it is not magic, it is freaking LUCK! [or, typically, a heckuva lot of trial and error] which is hard when you have just minutes in a hotel room during show setup. There will be more photos of the J’s posted here to try and help the next exhibitor [probably Dave] who has to put J’s in this room at the next show. [The photos are still on a memory card. I took them later in the show]
There is also a List of what was in this room.
Oddly, most people seem to believe they’re simply plopped in the corners. Perhaps if I put pieces of painter’s tape on the carpet and leave a laser measure lying around people will begin to get it. I don’t use either, but what the heck.
I have a curiosity! How Audio Note UK electronics sound with WireWorld (Platinum) cables? Have you tried it, specially with horns? Possibly sound better with WireWorld than AN UK Cables? Thanks! Cheers!
Hi Dave,
I wonder if we had a large poster showing AN speakers setup in a nice room, or several nice rooms, people would see that the placement for these speakers is to put them in corners [audio p*rn, I know, but useful in this case].
Hi Alex,
AN UK cables help create the AN ‘sound’ which is a very natural, dynamic, involving sound. Some of their cables, like the inexpensive Lexus, will go up just fine against much more expensive cables in any system, including non-AN systems. But the real answer is “I don’t know. Never tired it” 🙂
Take care, guys,
