    Default Plymouth at the end of August. SUNDAY 31st

    Time for my first bake-off. My wife will be away on the weekend of August 31st, so is anyone up for it? Stu has had to postpone his, so I thought I'd jump in. Sunday,as I know Adrian won't miss an Argyle match!
    Room for 6 in comfort (or 10 on extra chairs).
    My speakers are running at last (nearly a year!), and if anyone one has any decent amplifcation they could bring I would like to hear what works. I prefer valve power amps, but anything really. They like a bit of power, so 30w+ valve or a big tranny amp? A decent CDP or DAC would be nice too!
    I have vinyl and CD replay, so any new music too?
    It would just be nice to host my own bake-offf, so you don't have to bring anything.
