This invokes memories of Heathrow Hi Fi show c.198?. We went into a very
small room where an old foreign man was demo-ing his arm (turntable that
is). He played an old Ella mono LP from ancient times. She was in the room -
it sounded absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately the arm was way out of our
price-range - but I'll never forget that magic moment.

I still use (and have never felt any desire to replace) a pair of Bowers &
Wilkins DM2 loudspeakers discovered in exactly the same manner at one of those
Heathrow shows in 1971 or 1972. I was sitting in the demo room looking at some
brochures and heard someone in front of me say something like "Good morning and
welcome to Bowers and Wilkins, we'd like to demonstrate our loudspeakers", so I
looked up and there was nobody there! The voice had been coming from a tape.
