    I would like to come to one of these in the future. Sounds like a great way to spend a day, but over the summer it's all a bit hectic for me.

    Welcome to come and listen to mine too Steve, although Ian is closer by a few miles it makes sense to go there.

    Hi Oliver

    If your not busy when i collect the mono blocks from Firebottle it would be a great opportunity to hear your DCB1 through the monos.
    Hopefully i might have one by then, who knows???

    Hi Steve,

    That should be fine! You can hear it through the FB-Monos and the Monarchy Class A. I got Alan to rewire my DCB1 with my first choice cable and it's now very very good, best pre I have had here. I am delighted. An investment of £400 and some DIY.

    I would have happily driven up from Cornwall because I love bakeoffs.

    But, that is the very weekend I have been roped in to paint a charity shop after some repairs to the walls and have to start that process at 4pm when the shop shuts. First though we have to take down a whole mountain of clothes racks, shelving, pictures and posters to even see the walls

    The only door policy is voluntary, it’s recommended to take cake, homemade is best but in my experience it’s all welcomed.

    I’ve been to Ian’s many times and it’s always relaxed, generally a music day which can get expensive discovering new artists, you’ll all enjoy it ��

    My 'special' cakes would make even Country & Western sound good, but I'll save them for another time...
