    Greg,

    Thanks for the offer, but I have to do a couple of things on the way back home so I'll need to go separately.

    See you Saturday,

    Robbo

    :D Which bit were you thinking of Graham? There's a ***** joke in there somewhere, or were you thinking of the AAD (anti audiophile device) on the left?

    Very kind offer Dom. I've been thinking about this and the only problem, other than navigation, seems to be the possiblity of other visitors mentioning the products within earshot.

    But if anyone wants to take the blind test, opaque bandanas will be available at the front door at 10am I believe.

    I think for the full effect it requires both the AAD and the "golden-eared" audiophile. Carrying AADs around Heathrow may cause a problem though with the Dibble.

    Maybe add a pair of very good earplugs too? ;) :irish:

    I know Graham, what's this country coming to?

    Having lived in the Stanwell/Heathrow/Hounslow area for a couple of years, it seems that it should be the right of every law abiding citizen to carry an AAD at all times (although brandishing it ONLY when threatened or at the checkout of the drive through MacDonalds on the Bath Road)

    I do hope you can make it along on Saturday as I suspect I will be able to detect your presence in a room under blind conditions purely via the sensation of blood seeping from my inner ear.

    a while ago there was a bit of a ruck on the forum with someone saying 'you'll be on my manor at heathrow so watch it' this all ended up amicably with various offers of beers being bought at the show.... so who's buying beer for whom then?
    cheers

    I'm tempted to go and see/hear whether the new stainless steel, don't need to pump up, super-douper amazing speaker platforms by Max Townshend are worth all the fuss he's making about them; also to say hello to 7V.

    Well, naturally I'll provide a complete report on the sound quality in the Seventh Veil room myself. ;)

    The cdp has recieved a 'little attention', since it's last outing so all in all you will maxium pipe & slippers, like never before.
    See you all there. Wm

    I'll definitely be going tomorrow now. It would be good to meet any other zeroGainers there, so I think I'll print out the logo to wear as a badge should anyone want to say hi.

    Hope to see some of you there,

    Martin
