Guys, could we have a list, from those attending, of what kit they're bringing? That way I'll know what to bring myself that's interesting/different, so that there isn't too much of the same thing

Nicely put. Sounds like a great day. And those JBL'S did sound rather good at Scalford.Originally Posted by oldius

Marco you'll be doing well on the kit front. You will have to track three fora to get the kit list.
The main rig probably won't change, just music. The second system is complete but I will happily swap kit in and out of it. A turntable is coming for the second system and all my amps have internal, high quality phono stages for both MM and MC. Digital is well served but additional gear is welcome.
Main system: Sony TTS8000; AT1010; Audio Technica Art1; The Lentek; Cambridge 851n, Yamaha NS1000.
System 2 - SBT; Technics SH-X1000 DAC; Denon PMA-850

From AOS: Marco
The subs bench is now is effect.
As most people know, the house has large rooms and there is plenty of gear already here.
In the main system there is a turntable, sbt, dac, prepower amps with phono stage and speakers.
In the second system there are two integrateds, both with phono stages, SBT, two dacs and either JBL or Kef Reference speakers.
Bring what you want but there isn't a worry about phono stages for example if you wanted to bring a deck.
