Bake off in sunny Ilford???

ok - i'll bring one of those trichord mains boxes

 

Bump, wouldn't like you guys to forget now, would we? .

Anyone else in/around London/Essex with not a lot to do on the 9th Oct?

 

Still up for it. I'll bring a DAC64, since that's the lightest.

-- Ian

 

Dev,
I would be interested but I'm off to even sunnier Cyprus for a week !

 

i'll be there too.
cheers

I would like to be there, but I would really need a passport, and of course I would miss this lovely weather. Enjoy

 

I should still be able to make it.

 

Right then, so far we have:-

Lee - bringing cables (mains as well Lee?).
Ian - DAC64
John - BC. BTW John, if you want to bring the phono stage, please feel free, but remember my TT is a cheapo unit.
Julian - Not sure what you're bringing but you're welcome anyway .

I'll PM you my address and Telephone number nearer the day.

Anyone else free on the Saturday 9th and wants to come along?

 

P.S. I assume you're all bringing some of your favourite music.

 

Instead of a DAC64, I could bring a vintage Leak Stereo 20 valve power amp, if anyone has a pre to hand (passive preferably).

-- Ian

 

That'll be great, I mean if someone can bring a pre. I'd like to see how the Tannoys sound with a "proper" amp.

 

Lee's got a DIY posh attenuator in a baked bean can that'd do the job. Can you bring it Lee?

-- Ian

 

I hope he emptied it out first b4 adding the attenuator .

 

I'll tell you now that cost me plenty of beans

 

i can bring my a/s dax-2 i'd be interested to hear it up against the dac 64 (if ian still brings it). i'll bring some music and my sparkling wit and repartee too.
cheers


julian

 

I'm sure he can be persuaded to

 

It's a foolish man who puts his puny DAC up against The Finest Digital Source Known to Humanity, but if Julian is prepared to have his DAC's arse kicked, I'll bring a DAC64 as well.

-- Ian

 

ian,
of course i'm not expecting my humble box of ancient technology to even approach the awesomeness that is the dac 64 (ooooahhhhh - more etherial holy music).
if the dax is only 1/8th as good as the dac 64 then i shall be happy.
cheers


julian

 

My slide rule tells me it's unlikely to be more than 1/11th as good, unless yours is black and has nice buttons, in which case it may be 1/9th as good.

-- Ian

 

it's shiny piano black with gold writing on it . plenty of buttons too.
see...


so it may just scrape in at 1/8th as good. no blue led's though which i suppose handicap it.
cheers
