I think it's a Sunday. Fairly short notice but will be nice to have a post Scalford soiree.

2 rooms. All kit and tunes welcome. Doors open at 11am.

Tea and coffee provided. BYO humour, biscuits and cool moves.

Food from the local cafe in the early evening.

New faces most welcome and preference given if oversubscribed.

[Marco]

Nice one, mate. I'll do my best to get to this. Will be good to see you again in your new gaff :cool:

Marco.

Hi Geoff,

I replied on the PFM thread, but just to confirm Il definitely pop in for a few hours. I'm temped to bring my TT with me this time, what do you think?

[Marco]

Guys, could we have a list, from those attending, of what kit they're bringing? That way I'll know what to bring myself that's interesting/different, so that there isn't too much of the same thing :cool:

Marco.

Nicely put. Sounds like a great day. And those JBL'S did sound rather good at Scalford.

Marco you'll be doing well on the kit front. You will have to track three fora to get the kit list.

The main rig probably won't change, just music. The second system is complete but I will happily swap kit in and out of it. A turntable is coming for the second system and all my amps have internal, high quality phono stages for both MM and MC. Digital is well served but additional gear is welcome.

No worries, matey. I presume that the other two forums are the Wam and pfm? I'll take a look :)

Oh, you'll need to PM me your addy :cool:

Marco.

[oldius]

I will and yep, pfm and hfw.

[oldius]

Why not Ben. Get it out there!

[oldius]

OK, coming from the wam: SCIDB, MickeyRicky, StevieD, Stylesound, RMSShipbroker, Plato, Yoda900, HTM_1968, ff1d1l, CableMonkey, SMEagol, Mayebaza, Pgarish, luker, painter, luvpies

Fom PFM: SP25, Cooky1257, Zoidburg, Chops54, Strummer, mullardman and kennyh.

From AOS: Marco


The subs bench is now is effect.


As most people know, the house has large rooms and there is plenty of gear already here.

In the main system there is a turntable, sbt, dac, prepower amps with phono stage and speakers.
In the second system there are two integrateds, both with phono stages, SBT, two dacs and either JBL or Kef Reference speakers.

Bring what you want but there isn't a worry about phono stages for example if you wanted to bring a deck.

[Marco]

Guys, something's come up that I need to do tomorrow, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to make the bake-off. Anyway, hope you have a good one! :cool:

Marco.

[oldius]

Cheers Marco.

[Marco]

Sorry, mate. It's just the way it's worked out. Keep me posted if you have another one before the end of the year :cool:

Marco.

[oldius]

I have one every six months or so.

[Marco]

Cool. I'll defo try and make the next one. So how did this one go? :)

A write-up and/or pics from someone who was there would be appreciated :cool:

I could only pop in for a few hours yesterday unfortunately but had a great time at Geoff's place.

lots of people attended and there was plenty of kit being played. highlight for me was Geoffs Yamaha NS1000 which id never heard before and which sounded very good. il get a few pictures up later with a few more words as well.

huge thanks to Geoff for being (as ever) such a great host as well.

[Zoidburg]

Apologies in advance for the photos, I know they could have been better:)

Love the 2nd photo 'Ooh what's going on down here then?..'

[Zoidburg]

There was a fair bit of cable (both mains and speaker) going on in the 2nd room.

JPS speaker and mains cables I believe. £9k and £3k a piece I believe! That was £36 grands worth of cables then!

I thought the fire brigade had been called.
