    Just got home from work Marco. Apologies. 2pm we can get in the room. Looking forward to meeting you. I am taking my usual Ikea tables so if anyone has any decent supports they would like to bring along please do.

    Hi Steve,

    2pm sounds cool!

    Ikea tables will be fine. I'll need to see anyway if there's going to room in the car for my T/T, as well as the Celestion 66s and possibly Martin's Akais, so I may not need any support tables for the kit I'm bringing.

    Marco.

    Sounds like we're all sorted for analogue sources then.

    In which case I'll bring some digital sources, SBT, Marantz CDP for use as a transport, Rega DAC, Vlink II, and a laptop.

    Are we all sorted for speakers guys?
