    I'm going. Thomas Mayer is someone I particularly want to meet, as I am building a #26 preamp.

    Does occur to me that there seems to be an awful lot of audio fairs, fests, shows etc on. For a hobby that is supposedly dying.
    It's only half way through March and we have had a Nebo, Bristol and Bath, Scalford (next weekend?), Cranage Hall in June, then another NEBO. Probably an Owsten in there, then Whittlebury at some point. And a few I don't know about, no doubt.

    EDIT - Forgot about the Kent Audio Jumble.
