Yes, yes and adequate
From my memory,
Pioneer pl590 TT with Micro Seki 505 arm, Denon 103
Garrard 301, Moerch DP6, Koetsu Rosewood. Corian and ply plinth built by me.
Paradise phono stages, first was 2 box, 2nd was 4 box with Calvin buffers.
Big silver mono blocks, Avondale NCC300 built by Alan T
Naim amp Avondale special, NCC220 with HCR200 regulators.
Speakers with 2 woofers either side of Tweeter are Avondale RMS Revelation 2's, a rare beast with steel cabinet ported down the integrated stand and external crossovers.
Fantastic day Steve, the highlight for me were those fab RMS Avondales and getting to chat with Les of course a top bloke and all round gent

I use a Velodyne DD12 at home, fills them out nicely :-)
Yeah, another excellent get together, Steve. Good to see the regulars and some new faces. Like you, I now need to go and buy some of that music I heard.
A big thank you to everyone who brought speakers, amps, TTs, R2Rs etc, especially as you had to lug them up a flight of stairs. Without you guys willing to take the risk of bringing some nice gear we wouldn't have a day like this.
Roll on the next one!
Great day Steve, good call, nice to see some new faces, to me anyway and ones I'd not seen for a while.
Great tunes, nice to hear what other folks are listening to.
Highlight for me was those old Avondale speakers and more recent Avondale power amp with Mick's valve pre and Micky's 301 TT. It worked well, discussed this with Barrington at the time and we agreed it was the best sound of the day.
