    Aye, a most enjoyable day. Loved the Edingdales, one of the few box speakers I've heard I could happily live with. I'd forgotten how great these speakers are.

    Gaz's deck is sounding great with the new cart, more to come though, you can hear the potential trying to get out as it breaks in.

    It was a surprise how good the Kraken sounded, great bass, and a lovely airy top end.

    I took along the two box Firebottle phono stage to compare to Gaz's which has the improved impedance mod. Don't think Gaz will mind me saying the two box was considerably better, it has the power supply separated, and uses Mundorf caps and Takman resistors, which seem to give very worthwhile improvements over the standard components.

    Some lovely vinyl played, and later on Gaz and I compared some vinyl tracks we know well to digital via his lovely server. Very little in it frankly, just a little harshness at the top end in the digital compared to the vinyl.

    Also watched a couple of Blu Rays on his Oppo on a 60" display with fancy ambient backlighting. Great picture quality, and storming bass through the Kraken and Edingdales. No sub required!

    A most enjoyable day, and good to see the troops again, and to meet Grant.

    Cheers to Gaz for the food & drinks.
