Quick update:
The venue we were hoping to use in Stoke is currently closed for refurbishment. This has thrown a tiny spanner in the works but two of the "behind the scenes" guys are looking for alternative options in the Stoke area.
A potential date that has been floated between us is.....14/7/18. This is not the confirmed date but one that we're hoping for.
Confirmation will be given when the venue is confirmed.
Thanks for all of the interest.

The Upton-on-Seven Jazz festival is great fun - especially if you like trad jazz. I love the way all the various pubs there host the acts and you can wander in and out with a glass of beer to your hart's content.

I have an AQVOX Phono 2 CI I could bring, but it has very specific system requirements, so probably wouldn't suit a demo rig tailored for most others.
Just to clarify, it's a pro piece of kit designed for studio mastering and needs balanced XLR from cartridge, through amplification. Its a current amplifier rather than voltage amplifier, is designed to be MC only and because of the design, doesn't need loading adjustment.
It can cater for RCA input and MM and has adjustments for "normal" loading/capacitance operation, but that is not hearing it anywhere near its best, or how it is intended to work.
I might just come along for the crack and to hear some nice gear, so I'm keen to see if the date clashes with anything else I'm doing.
It's always difficult, organizing an event in the holiday season.
