I might just bring some LP's. I have nothing new to contribute. Alan T's reel to reel is by far better than my old Tascam so unless i acquire something intersting in the meantime i may well enjoy everyone else's stuff instead.

I will have my semi active three ways, but these only allow swap outs on the source and maybe the pre amp, as the 6 channel power amp is part of the active set up. Still, the option is there as I will be leaving late.
Hi Rich yep got it fettled and is now doing sterling work hooked to my Pioneer PL 630 t/t.It did sound canny ,late on in the procedings when things were coming to an end [notice I did not say "winding down"] at the last meet. Hope Alan brings the r2r suitably loaded with good tunes , told my lad about ,eager to hear it,and also hope Steve brings his homebrew PX amps ,raved about these also.If you want me to bring anything ,let me know[old stalwart Radford?] I will bring the 180g vinyl version of Devin Townsend that impressed at the mini NEBO we had at Jarrow .
