    I might offer tickets if I see a bit more kit that I can't afford but I'd feel a bit like a snake oil salesman selling something that ain't going to happen, no chance, you mark my words.
    I'm happy to revisit this possibility after the event, if there's enough interest .
    Cheers,
    Dave.

    Good , my video camera is charging as we speak you're probably correct though in your assumptions . This i/c looks like a real prospect to me and I await Marcos' findings with baited breath. I'll just go and put the video camera back into its' box mate and keep an eye on Ticketmaster .

    Not sure whether you'll need a tele-photo or a macro lens bolting on it though but you've got time to decide and save up for it .

    It's a bit summery for a fire to burn things in and the airing cupboard just doesn't get hot enough for spontaneous combustion. Whether Martin's ears have got used to any possible differences is another matter entirely though
    I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
    I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

    Now Dave, we've been here before. Cable burn-in is pretty widely acknowledged around here. Have you really not heard the effect?

    I have just received some 0.5m and 1m 223.5 Connect Litz stereo interconnects, from Yannis, fitted with silver Eichmanns (aluminium body versions), which I'm trying as a possible replacement for my MG G2000HDs, currently in the position between my SUT and phono stage; the idea being having a complete loom of cables from Yannis, from my tonearm to phono stage, in the quest for optimum sonic synergy.

    First impressions are quite superb, with the 223.5s having the beautifully wide-open infectious musicality and filigree detailing of the awesome 423.5 Phono Litz tonearm cable, currently in use on my Ortofon RS-212D tonearm, on the Techy. This cable deftly unlocks the densest of mixes and also lays bare the dynamics and realism of the finest recordings, thus making for a sonically beguiling cable partnership that doesn't break the bank.

    I suspect that these babies could be keepers! Further thoughts in due course, once the cables have fully burnt in
