I'll also have room to chuck in my Croft Micro Basic preamp and the Mini-t for the usual s***s and giggles. I'll also bring the Marantz CD63SE and cables so effectively a system.

One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.
Given the fragile nature of such things, I've decided not to bring up my TT, arm and cartridges.
I will however be bringing along a pair of monoblocked Quad 405s fettled to Keith Snook v3.0 and with upgrades to the power supply, as well as a pair of Quad 510 monoblocks.
Martin will you be bringing anything else to the party?
Oh - another thing, would anyone be interested in doing a bit of cable 'rolling'? I can bring up some balanced XLR-terminated cables I've made using various cable (Klotz, Van Damme, Chord, Gotham and Sommer).

Shall I bring my Schiit Mani phono stage? That is if we are all still here by then like due to the Russian's pointing nuclear capable missiles at us.

Might be fun to start proposing hypothetical systems from the bits people are bringing.
Any proposals? Maybe he who is bringing loudspeakers could select from what's there so far? With swap ins and outs?
Good idea Justin. Will anyone be bringing some electrostatic speakers?
Just to clarify, I'll be bringing the following power monoblocks:
Modified Quad 405s (100W/channel)
Quad 510s (output adjustable between 36W/channel and 135W/channel)
as well as a
Mark Levinson ML25 phonostage (set for EMT cartridge) and ML26 preamp.

Main system : VPI Scout 1.1 / JMW 9T / 2M Black / Croft 25R+ / Croft 7 / Heco Celan GT 702
Second System : Goldring Lenco GL75 / AT95EX / Pioneer SX590 / Spendor SP2
That's if I can get the nuts in my neck tightened up
I said I might bring ESLs but it is looking less likely. Between Jimbo and myself we will have a full system with the weak link being the speakers - Goodmans Mezzo 3, but with alternative tweeters.
If they get a good reception I will be very pleased.
I am now bringing:
Quad S-1 Stand mount speakers with ribbon tweeter, don't forget your stands Martin
Pro-Ject Phono Box RS, a highly adjustable phono stage with balanced inputs/outputs as well as phono sockets.
Record - Fleetwood Mac - Rumers, 45 RPM, 2disc American release, on 180g.
I need to confirm if Gordon (halfway Tree) is coming in a car share and if he's bringing anything.
EDIT: Gordon is coming, no kit planned but that might change between now and the meeting

I will be bringing a Lenco GL75 with Shure M55e / JICO SAS cartridge.
If anyone has any other cartridges in the Lenco bayonett headshell they would like to try please bring along and we could have a cartridge shoot out with the Shure / JICO.
