Just like the good old days, I spent most of the day in the workshop making parts for a turntable, great fun and clearing the workbench for the next project.

Today was a first for me, I backed to back the Audio Research Preamps, Ref 3, Reference 10, the new LS2 and Reference 7, sadly the Reference 6SE went to a customer yesterday so I was unable to include this one. Needless to say the new Reference 7 is outstanding and not even run in yet.

You don’t get to see one of these very often and in fabulous condition, an Audio Research Reference 10 preamplifier. Low hours on the tubes and made in 2015, very rare bit of kit.

I would like to thank everyone who came to the HiFi event at Thatchers Hotel last weekend; it seemed everyone had a great time, thoroughly enjoying the music. I would also like to thank the team from Absolute Sounds for their support and hard work, especially Ricardo for his expertise, giving my Wilson speakers a good workout. I have no doubt that we will be looking at some focused events throughout the next year. Lastly for Audio Research who expedited the new range of equipment to us in time for the event, and my bank manager for being so understanding.

I have just received notification that there has been a problem with the registration system run by Absolute Sounds for their demonstrations at my show this coming weekend, this problem has now been resolved and should you wish to register then the system should be working correctly. They send their apologies for this issue.

Good news, I have just received a stack of new Audio Research equipment for the show, AR definitely got their finger out to get this lot to me, all I have to do is unbox it all and find somewhere to put it all. Yes the Reference 7 and 20 are here and will be at the show.

Well you don’t get things like this happening every day.

• Introducing the MCD 16: dCS Enters the World of Multichannel Audio •

For nearly four decades, dCS has pursued extreme accuracy and precision in the conversion of digital audio to real music, whilst preserving emotion and detail like no other technology.

The MCD 16 extends that pursuit into new territory, with sixteen channels of audio from eight Ring DACs, sharing our vision for what high-fidelity audio can become when multichannel is uncompromised.

This is our first 16-channel Digital-to-Analogue converter. It may be a new product category for dCS, but we believe it is a natural one...

dCS MCD 16 will debut at High End Vienna 2026, in partnership with Trinnov Audio & Perlisten Audio, courtesy of Audio Reference GmbH.

You’re invited to attend an immersive audio demonstration hosted by Grammy Award-winning producer Justin Gray...
