MiBO Nov 5th - Runners & Riders

[Marco]

I'm going to 'travel light' this time, in terms of equipment, and give others the chance to demo their stuff, so I'll probably just bring my Croft preamp (as I haven't taken it to a bake-off for a while) and perhaps my Paul Hynes head amp, thereby providing a top-notch active preamp and phono stage for anyone who wishes to slot it into their system

However, I intend bringing a load of vinyl, so that others can enjoy some of the music I listen to (that is the stuff they don't know/have already), and I can get to hear it on systems different from my own. Should be fun!

Remember, if anyone would like taxi-ing to and from the 'gastro pub', should folks want a drink, I'll be available for that purpose during meal times on both the Friday and Saturday. All part of the service, so just let me know

Now this is going to be an interesting bake off with my Vivant and valve head amp

[Marco]

Lol.... All just different flavours, mate, of an already tasty morsel!

Can someone remind me of the MC cartridges that are going to be used, so I can set up my phonostage to suit in advance. I don't really want to mess about with screwdrivers and Allen keys on the day.

Benz SLR Gullwing, if I bring the TT.

So will 64dB gain with a loading of 825 Ohm do?

[Bourney]

I'm hoping to be there Saturday morning until mid afternoon. I live 15 mins away so it would be rude not to.
I don't know many of you from this forum so not sure of the fornat compared with other bakes I've attended and hosted. I've got a couple of bits of kit i could bring if you think there will be time in the window above and if there is sufficient interest in the kit to warrant the dismantling and loading up

Chevron paradox dac
Either. Definitive modified Audio innovations S500
Or Leben CS300
WLM la scala speakers.

I've currently got DL103 on my Sony, it will accept a straight SME type headshell if anybody wants somat else?

[Macca]

If the speakers are too much of an ask I'd be interested in hearing the Chevron. And the Leben. If you have to go early we can put you in early. Which goes for everyone else who isn't staying for the full distance of course. just let me know on the day.

Sorry Barry, missed this. Yes that should be ok.
