    Have you been to the Butterfly Zoo yet?

    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
