Monmouthshire/Herefordshire looking for quality Hi-Fi and diverse music lovers.

I am new to the group and new to the area so am looking to meet fellow Hi-Fi & music peeps.
I am in Goodrich, Pencraig in between Ross-On-Wye and Monmouth, could be a mini Bakeoff :)

Just up the road from Symonds Yat, one of the loveliest places in the UK. I'm about 60 miles up the road in Bridgend but get up your way a couple of times a year usually.

Have you been to the Butterfly Zoo yet?

Hi guys

I'm not too far away, edge of the Forest of Dean just outside Lydney.
We've just moved here into a major renovation job so couldn't really host anything but would love to come along to any meets

I could host something on a small scale or just hook up sometime.
A pre-amp and/or DAC comparison session would be interesting?
Always good to recommend/listen favourite albums etc. as well.

ps. if you ever need any small size/scale woodwork doing in your renovation I may be able to help.

Sounds good to me, although I don't have either a DAC (on the list) or a pre-amp

Thanks for the offer of the woodworking that's very kind, what is it you do exactly?

Hi Barry,
Have just come found your post about a possible bakeoff. I live on the far side of Cardiff which is not too far from you. My hobby is building IPL transmission line speakers. If you do have a meeting and are interested in hearing them I would be happy to bring a pair along.
Richard.

Hi Richard
Sorry my for delay responding. Thank you for your suggestion.
I did not get much of a response at all from this post but we could try for a 'mini bake-off' or somthing at my house. Gaz (above) might be up for it as well.
It would be great to listen to your IPL Transmission speakers, I have some 1987 Isobariks you could listen to in turn.
Cheers
Barry

I was originally just looking to meet a few people into Hi-Fi in my close surrounding area.
I'm not quite able/prepared to host a 'bake-off/big meeting'

A bake off is as simple or complex as you want to make it.
You can specify a type of kit or just leave it open and see what folk bring.

As well as getting the experience of different kit, particularly in your system, I find it is great to meet like minded forum members, some who have become good friends.

Thank you, yes this is exactly what I was hoping for.
I will check with the 2 people that got in touch with me for a possible date then do a new post for a Mini-Bake Off.

I don't usually look at this bit of the forum, but ...

... I'm in North Herefordshire (between Leominster and Ludlow). The HiFi's in a loft room, so not loads of space, but if anyone wants to listen to ESL63s driven by Primare power, (s)he is most welcome!
