tentative january bakeoff...

hi,
there's not been one for a while so i was thinking maybe i'd host one in late january or early february to spice up the suicide months. focus would probably be source components as slotting non naim amps into a naim system is a pain ( i have leads and connectors for source din to rca). other than that just bring loads of music.
nothing set in stone as yet, just testing the water so who'd be up for this? - i'm in mid bedfordshire junctions 12 or 13 on the m1.
cheers

Need any speakers?

Try to stay clear of the Bristol 'Sound & Vision' Show (20th-22nd February) and preferably not too early in January.

 

possibly interested

 

Ju, you have pm sir

 

I may even try for this one !

 

i was thinking last week of jan or 1st week of feb (ish). and if you can bring your speakers round i'd love to hear them - even though they are way out of my price range.

editied to add: feb 7th looks ok to me so far.

cheers

You mean 'out of my price range' as in 'selling'. Don't be silly. You know that's against my principles.

 

Count me in Julian

 

Might be fun...

I could bring a pair of old Linn Kans for a touch of the retros.

Paul

 

Hi,

I might be up for this. I should be able to bring down a turntable & some vinyl.

SCIDB

 

yup

sounds good.

have something booked for the 24th of Jan though.

 

I might be tempted down out of the cold northern wastes. Just got the the new Quad99 CDP so peeps might be intrested in a listen. If you can settle on a date....when I'm not skiing !

 

i too have something booked for the 24th too (co-inkydink?) and bristol is the 21st so is feb 7th ok? or is 3 fortnights in a row too much? if it is i guess it'll have to be sometime in march.
let me know if the 7th feb is ok and i'll block it out and start arranging things....
zanash, i've heard good things about the quad so i'd love to hear it vs my cd 5.
paul, i've heard kans before on the end of an lp12 / nait 2 and was impressed so i'd also be very interested to hear them get a kicking from a 250.
cheers

Room for one more?

 

I'm up for the jaunt, may also bring along one or 2 minor items Tone

 

Hmmm! I make that 11. S'gonna be cosy

I was tempted until I looked at the route I would have to take to get there

 

The Bristol Show is in February.

 

Indeed. In fact it is on the 20th-22nd February. Everybody got that now

Incidentally, there is already quite a bit to read about the next Bristol Show at the show website

 

FYI - the Manchester HiFi & Home Cinema Show is happening on the 7th & 8th of February. Don't know if that will affect the bakeoff?

I think this is the shows fourth or 5th year (?). Mostly 2 channel in the past, but home cinema starting to get a bit more coverage this year as well.

 

hex,
i'm in bedfordshire so i sincerely doubt that anyone would be planning to go to both. but if anyone is then i'm still flexible on dates - i suppose i could even push it out to the 1st week in march but i'd rather have it earlier than later.
cheers
