Experience Music Like Never Before
Have you ever wondered just how great vinyl records can really sound….. if so, then you are in for a very special musical treat. On Saturday 31st May, we invite you to attend our exciting Hi-Fi event at Stanley House Hotel in Mellor, which is just 5 mins from J31/M6 with free on-site parking.
The System
We have partnered with PMC Distribution to help curate a truly impressive Hi-Fi system that really has to be heard and experienced.
One of the main attractions at our event will undoubtedly be PMC’s flagship home-audio loudspeakers, the iconic and award-winning Fact Fenestria. It’s not everyday you have the opportunity to listen to a speaker of this calibre (driven to perfection with Bryston amplification).
It is worth noting that the speakers are only as good as the original source signal they receive. Therefore, we have decided to demonstrate the stunning Michell Orbe SE turntable, partnered with their recently launched Apollo/Muse MC phono stage. This ensures we can extract every ounce of musical detail from deep within the record groove.
Our event reference Hi-Fi system will comprise of the following components:
- Turntable – Michell Orbe SE, TecnoArm 2, Cusis M (£9,300)
- Phono Stage – Michell Apollo + Muse (£3,500)
- Pre-Amplifier – Bryston BP19 (£5,750)
- Mono Power Amplifiers – Bryston 7B Cubed (£8,000 each)
- Loudspeakers – PMC Fact Fenestria (£72,975)
- DAC – Bryston BDA-3 (£3,600)
- Music Server – Innuos ZENith Next-Gen (£15,525)
- Audio Cable Loom – Chord Company Signature (£12,500)
- Hi-Fi Furniture – Blok Hi-Fi (£2550)
Our main event objective is to showcase just what is possible with music reproduction. It is worth highlighting that both PMC and Michell Audio also have some wonderful sounding products sub £3000 and when these are partnered well, they will also provide many hours of musical enjoyment too.
The Music Sessions
There will be a total of 6 x 45 minute music sessions, starting on the hour, each hour between 12pm-6pm. Each session will focus on a specific music genre or theme. Anyone attending our event can choose to attend as many or as few sessions as they would like. In-between sessions, you can enjoy a drink at the hotel bar or order some delicious food at Fred’s Brasserie.
- S1 – 12:00pm (Mixed Genres)
- S2 – 1:00pm (Music Mastered/Produced Using PMC Speakers)
- S3 – 2:00pm (Jazz & Classical)
- S4 – 3:00pm (Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here LP – In Full)
- S5 – 4:00pm (Blues & Americana)
- S6 – 5:00pm (Classic Rock)
As you can see there is something for everyone and you can attend those sessions that best match with your own musical tastes.
Not to spoil too many surprises before our event but this will be your opportunity to ‘Experience’ classic pieces of ‘Music Like Never Before’. Here are just a few sneak peaks from our planned vinyl playlists:
- Diana Krall – I Love Being Here With You – Live (S1)
- Eric Clapton – Old Love – Live (S5)
- The Doors – Riders on the Storm (S6)
To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Pink Floyd’s seminal album: Wish You Were Here, released in 1975, we will be playing the whole album from start to finish in Session 4 (S4).
Our Event Team
We will be joined with key members from both PMC and Michell Audio, who will be on-hand to answer any questions or queries you may have after experiencing this wonderful system.
