Just to add a couple of observations.
It was so encouraging to see items in for servicing including units from the old studio 9xx range, Elgar and Scarlatti. dCS makes everything have the longest service life.
I also need to mention that Varese is visually stunning in the flesh. The silver anodising chosen is really gorgeous. BTW, for those not aware, there is not a single “silver” finish used for everything but a variation is chosen for each range. dCS have a sophisticated system ensuring that their partners provide consistent finishes that match other units; every panel is “traceable”.
Finally, if you find yourself f in Swavesy, the main pub, the White Horse, is excellent with a a great range of drinks, some of the best pub food I have had ( pub food rather then that of a gastropub) and, being owned and run by a rock musician, classic rock background music ( not too loud). The latter not quite my thing but it really impressed my friends.
