Bake-off re-visited - Tue 6th December

Hey Rob, your amps got a cracking review in January's HFW.

 

Sorry, didn't notice the other one (don't have the time to read them all, so I don't try). And it wasn't completely OT anyway, as the subject did arise here. OK, all from me here.

 

Cheers for the heads up I'll have to get a copy of that, lets see how they do on Tuesday I'm interested in what vinyl/valves/electrostats sound like?

 

Evening all!

As you have noticed i aint been in here for ages, though i have hovered around in the background, good to see everyone is alive and well, and still squabbling over the 'do they dont they' cable debate...

Rob - fraid i cant make it next Tues - shame cos it would be good to catch up over a beer or three and double shame because i'd like to hear the cable comparisson...

However, i have this place to myself next Friday - the 9th - short notice but if anyone fancies a beer (here or down at the Riverhead - the local micro-brewery ) and a listen to the odd tune then let me know - can call it a bake off if you like, or a beer off....either way i think Deans idea from the last bake off at Robs is a belter - a 'Cover versions only' night.

Space wise probaly best if kept to 6 folks including me.

Chris

edit - forgot to mention home = Marsden

 

So.... we doing this?

Chris - remember where I'm at? What time?

 

As far as I know. Any chance of any directions someone?

 

Sorry guys been out for the last 2 days, yes everythings still on I reckon about 7 ish as before? I will send address/directions via pm

Rob

 

Results?

So how did it go?
Are you going to publish the results of the cable tests?

 

I shan't say too much as this is being writen up for another thread ! Sufice to say we had a great day/night listened to some fine gear [oops shouldn't say that as it was mine !] A pity things came up for a couple of attendees...but *hit happens !

As to the cables........ well there were things that every one heard without consultation or prompting [we have the notes people made!]

As this was not a question of prefferences just differences, it was not a great suprise to find [in the system context] some were not to peoples tastes.

Oh yes a big thank you to Rsand who fed and watered us and let us use his house !

 

I will write up an atricle when I get chance, Im just a little busy right now to do it justice.

 

Rob, if the 1st bake of at yours was anyting to go by i missed a good night, looks like there'll be some good reading on the Great Cable Comparisson which i look forward to seeing, hopefully i'll catch up with Isaac over a beer tomorrow night and get his thoughts........
If you have nowt better to do you're welcome to pop along....

Chris, pm me your details (address and number) as I hope to make this tonight, I will be driving as I have promised to pick my sister up from her Christmas do, but would love meet up again and hear that system of yours.

 

Rob - attempted to PM you but your mailbox is over its limit!

 

You sound like my bank manager
