Bake off in sunny Ilford???

[johnhunt]

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

 

[Dev]

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?

 

[sideshowbob]

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

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

 

[julian2002]

i'll be there too.
cheers

[mudgey]

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

 

[LiloLee]

I should still be able to make it.

 

[Dev]

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?

 

[Dev]

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

 

[sideshowbob]

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

 

[Dev]

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.

 

[sideshowbob]

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

-- Ian

 

[Dev]

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

 

[LiloLee]

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

 

[julian2002]

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

 

[Dev]

I'm sure he can be persuaded to

 

[sideshowbob]

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

 

[julian2002]

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

 

[sideshowbob]

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

 

[julian2002]

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
