Best for newbies: Rega Room, as they have a workable newbie setup that can provide years of enjoyment . . .

Lost opportunity: Anthony Audio . . . wanted to audition the Omega speakers properly but the speaker was hooked up to an AVR, not the best source for these speakers . . .

Most soothing: Harbeth room . . . Ferds just wants to play good music, period. No gimmicks. Just straight up nice music.

Every year Ferdie's room for me is always pure and serious music. A real audipohile treat!

Thanks for pointing this out! That venue sure sounds NGO-NGO! I stopped attending coverts playing at Araneta a long time ago.

I wish i could spend more time listening to all set-ups. Of the few i listened to, i was quite impressed with the Focal-VTL system, the proacs, the arch audio system on vinyl, and the Puresound room on vinyl...

Of course, my heart has always been beating faster every time i listen to ever improving DIY systems: the harana disco room with open reel tapes, val's room with mandy's tonearm/table, anthony's budget speakers, the sub 35k systems, rene rivo's creations, etc...

Congrats to all

With the limited time I was at the show (had to go home early due to flu/fever/asthma), I and Supergirl identified 5 rooms w/c sounded best - average of 3-minutes listening...here they are (in no particular order):

1. FLD / Harbeth Set-Up
2. Val's Room
3. Rene's Room
4. Focal Set-Up
5. Jack/Keith's Room

Congratulations for a successful show!

There were a lot of nice rooms but the speaker that really impressed me was the Xavian Xn125 Junior.

This is my first HiFi show and CONGRATS to all who made this possible. The rooms i enjoyed the most na pabalik balik ako:

1. Daedalus speakers - the room which gave me the most impression of listening to live music and not recorded music...hanep!
2. SF Guarneri
3. Harbeth
4. VS
5. Magic Q
6. Nuforce
7. ProAC

Sorry, forgot to note down the corresponding electronics. Thanks to all, enjoyed this very much!

I had limited time as my son was getting tired half-way, the following really caught my attention

(in no particular order)
1. Focal Utopia behemoths
2. KEF's Uniq' anniversary monitors
3. Jack and Keith's Von S... with those coke bottle sized Vacuum Tubes
4. Harbeths
5. The ProAc bookshelf speakers

Wasn't able to visit many rooms because of the crowds, but Ferdie's room is always a musical experience and I must admit being seduced by the set up at the Architectural Audio room.
