After reading the conditions for attending, I have a friend who visits shows with me. He would like to attend with a Custom Built MM Vlve Phonostage as my guest, if his Sunday work commitment is cancelled on Friday.
I have told him I would enquire first before he brings any equipment.

Is anyone bringing a step-up transformer or similar?

[Jimbo]

I will be bringing a K&K Audio SUT which is suitable for cartridges with about 0.4-0.5mV output.

Good man, Jim. This way, at least there will be a bit of continuity.

I can bring a battery Firebottle headamp as well but it's not as good as the SUT

Using the K&K SUT through my phono stage gives about the same gain level as I get running an MM cartridge through it.

[Bigman80]

The SUT should be sufficient mate.
