any tonearms performance. This 30 minute presentation will include the chance for those that attend to ask questions of the ‘father of the modern tonearm’ in a hope that they can improve their own vinyl replay.

Cadnam Audio, second floor, ROOM 237,
Cadnam Audio may be a new name, but has a vintage history dating back to the late 1970s. In October 2023, whilst at the Audio Show that took place at Staverton Hall Hotel, speaker designer David Hall
was looking for people he could work with to bring his visions to life. Also at the show were Father & Son team, Gareth & Tom Ellis, showcasing their new speakers. Although designers and cabinet makers themselves,
they were actively looking for a speaker designer to move their speakers forward. They struck up a great friendship, along with David's wife, Christine, and have since had a productive working relationship,
making Cadnam Audio go from strength to strength. The knowledge and expertise between the four is invaluable and has created a speaker brand that thrives to create a sound like no other brand.
