That was the time Audio trade shows were loaded with real pro-gear (for the era), and professionals that deploy them. I was never at the AES show, but there was another one in the UK called the APRS exhibition (wow) where one gets to see Neve, Calrec, Trident (owns one of those), young Soundcraft company, Studer/Revox, AKG, Neumann and Sennheisers in all their glory. Not no mention Allen & Heath, Brenell, Leevers-Rich…leading us to recording studios like Rockfield (Wales, UK), Abbey Road, Olympic, Trident…etc. I don’t go to audio trade shows any more….same old digi-junk from the year before, re-purposed, re-jigged, re-named, and re-sold to noobs and wanna-bes of the i-dance and i-stink modern recording era where supposedly mp3 sound better to their ears than real high-fidelity. My three Yamaha dmp-7s (cutting edge from 1987?), now function as door-stops….at least the spx-90s in them work sporadically….Thanks for the nostalgia..Cheers.
