Hi Tim, I posted a few weeks ago that we hadn't heard from you in months - hope business is good and you are well - didn't make the previous events, but I would be interested in the next one, diary permitting.

Yes, welcome back Tim - we've missed you.
What have you got for us this time? Anytime in April is good for me, so I ought to be able to make your latest MAD-fest. (It will give me a good opportunity to return the mains lead you loaned me. That was about a year ago!)
For those of you who haven't been to one of Tim's events, I can confirm that not only will you hear some interesting kit, but you will also enjoy some excellent Chinese food. What more could you want?

By the way, how much is a mint condition SCD-777es worth? You must be the best person to ask.

I paid £800 for a slightly marked one. I do know they can go for more though if mint with box etc. However if the laser goes its a scrapper as they can't be got anymore. Nice mechanism very silent in playback, nice transport if used with a Dac but imho sound wise overrated (using its analogue outputs) unless modified. The Scd1 is a tad better if used via its balanced outputs but again it needs breathed on to give of its best. Audiocom would work wonders on either machine.Ha ha....

SACD playback is very good on both machines by the way.
