I'm in Bedlington so about 14 miles north of you Peter.
Ali, the stopping over bit could be an issue for me. I do have a friend in Seaton Carew who happens to be a vintage hi fi enthusiast and may come along to NEBO but I don't know if he'd have a spare couch for me to surf!
Well you're welcome to a lift if you need it, just let me know.
Look forward to meeting you at Nebo, Jez, and hearing whatever goodies you're bringing with you! :cool:
Marco.
Thanks Marco and likewise here :)
:)Hey guys, i know many of you aren't fans of social media but Nebo does have a Facebook page which if you have an account i urge you to follow. Here is the latest update. https://www.facebook.com/groups/NorthEastBakeOff/
Nebo 6 is looking like it is going to be the best one so far. A lot of great things happening throughout the day but we need to get a crack on guys. I know some of you are coming from a fair distance though i am mindful that on this occasion we have a lot to get through. Please be patient with me if i appear to be a little pushy but i want everyone to get a fair hearing. In proper bake off fashion we have a clash between NVA's Phono 2 phono stage and the cult favourite valve design Firebottle 2 which i have no doubt will be a heated debate. Nebo 6 appears to be heading towards being a vintage turntable fest with some great units from Technics and Sony making an appearance. On a personal note i can't wait to hear the Edingdale speakers and some treasures being brought to us by our Scottish colleagues. There will be a challenge later on in the evening set by Rich Britton to put together a system for a ton or less and the best one will be judged by my good self. The winner will receive a Nebo mug ( hey, it's not the world cup ) contact Rich if you want to know more about that.
The Schooner pub is shaping up to being a pretty good alternative to our previous venue who evicted us due to corporate enterprise. The food is very good and i sampled the Caffrey's last week and it was pretty darned good. Please use the facilities at the pub as much as possible as this will stand us in good stead should we wish to hold another meeting there in the future. Please park at the opposite end of the car park at the rear furthest away from it's entrance as this will make it easier for off loading. Judging by some of the posts on The Art Of Sound Forum i think Nebo 6 is going to be a treat. Get there as early as you can folks. Just look for the sign below on the door and come on in and enjoy yourself. SEE YOU DOWN THERE!

You seem to be forgetting that I'm planning on challenging with my new MC only hybrid phono stage! Also IF I can get a lift to the event and back I hope to have a prototype high end hybrid power amp to take on all comers.... It's taking all my time and effort at the moment and I haven't a clue what it will sound like until it's finished but I have high hopes for it. It will be a very big and heavy beast so transport by motorbike is out of the question.Quote:

Hey Steve, I am bringing Firebottle,s KIN Preamp along to NEBO6 so this needs to be in the shootout against his Firebottle 2 and the NVA:)Quote:
