    Well you won't want a Devon interloper attending then, sounds like you would be expelling me.

    You won't be the only one Adrian, as Akwardbydesign (Dick) says he is coming so the Devon massif is very welcome

    We have a Seaton here in Cornwall, so nobody will question that anyway.

    Just be careful when doing your scone dressing

    Well I don't eat scones or pasties, but I do spend time in Cornwall, so there's a possibility I may be around in the new year. An hour or two away down near Helston though.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I may even be the closest, in Plymouth.

    Looking at the map its about 75 mile not too far, do you know what day of the week?

    Not sure what gear I would bring, lugging the Tannoys about requires a very large car or van and two people. Maybe amp, phono stage and SUT.

    PS I am definitely not getting dressed up as a scone, Devon or Cornish.

    Sorry chaps the location is sunny Callington in south east Cornwall (As it says in the title). If you had read my other recent thread post it did mention the location

    I'd bring my speakers, but they weigh 100kg! There's a Benchmark DAC3 HGC, a #26 DHT pre, a Concordant valve pre, a couple of little valve power amps (Ming Da MC84-C and a 6 watt SET thingy) and if you really want, a pair of Heybrook HB3-2s. And a portable USB hard drive with nearly 1TB of music on it.

    My system is in complete upheaval at the moment as I have sold my Rotel pre and using an FX Audio valve one right now, have bought a Yamaha integrated and another one from France but the seller isn't being very communicative. so that might go tits up worse luck. I have my Vincent CD player up for sale and so is my Lyngdorf power amp, so their replacements are an unknown right now. I want a really good CD player next.

    My lovely Quadral speakers are going nowhere

    I for one am very keen for a listen. Heard a Radford pair at a bakeoff some years ago and was very impressed.
