Denon equipment has always been a favourite with Humphries. The first piece of Denon kit he bought was the maverick DN-2000F twin CD player. This was followed by the state-of-the-art DN-2600F twin CD player and the DNM-2300R Mini Disc recorder. When he heard about the DN-S5000 Humphries contacted Silvio Zeppieri at Denon USA. The gig at Ministry of Sound was approaching and he was keen to be the first person to use the machine at a major UK event. Zeppieri thus arranged for a loan model to be made available for use in his studio. To ensure the a unit would be available at the Ministry of Sound, Zeppieri contacted Hayden Laboratories, Denon’s exclusive UK distributors. They liaised with the Ministry head of production Dave Bradshaw to ensure the machine was installed in time for Humphries’ set in the club’s main room - The Box -on Saturday night.
