Default 2017 Brussels - New Music Hifi Show

Yesterday was fun!
Not only I could enjoy and experience a lot of nice toys, I could do it in the most agreeable company of a fellow AA member, Jacques, aka Jem666.
We had already met before, a couple of times with our spouses.
My wife and loyal photographer is following an intense course, and couldn't attend.

What was really pleasant and a bit surprising: our top 3 of the systems was exactly the same!
The show was not the biggest, but there were a couple of very good systems.
No uberexpensive set-ups this year, only a few in the 150-300K range.
A lot of budget solutions, and some were sounding really good.

I'm not trying to be complete.
In some rooms, we just walked in and out.

Here we go.

Naim and Neat




Nah...
I think the potential of the Naim all-in-ones is very good, I've heard them before, but this combo didn't do it for us.
