I'll be bringing a full system comprising a pair of RS5, an Elex-r and a source of some description. Probably a CD player and a DAC.
I should be bringing a friend along who might decide to fetch his RP6.
As ever I'm happy for anyone to co-opt whatever they may fancy for a lash up.
One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.
yep , I'll be there
A work in progress !
If I come I can bring a WAD KEL 84, an EL84 PP amp, and also WAD 300b PSE monoblocks. I'll bring some class A SS too.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

The 300b is not top notch, it needs a new mains trannie and the output valves are a bit tired. Sounds ok though.
The KEL sounds very good, no problems with that.

Hi Ken - can bring the Radford and the Verdik's again , if they aren't getting "old hat" Bought a Little Bear preamp off the 'bay it's got the grin factor that RichB's T amp has [so good I bought another to "play with] was going to fetch that.Trying to talk myself into bringing my Quad 57's along ,but not the easiest things to lug around [thought they may be an interesting change] .Ali - would love to hear the WAD 300 PSE's,hope you can make it ,would be good to put another face to a name
