    Unhappy Man down!

    It pains me to have to say this but due to work commitments it is unlikely that 337alanT will be attending NEBO 6. I see this as being a man down as will the regular NEBO contributors no doubt. Alan is one of the innovators, Engineers and much loved music lovers of NEBO. Alan's wonderful R2R and home made Voyager amps will also be sorely missed. ALAN, make sure you're home for the next gig or we will charter a plane for you.

    Which leaves me scratching my bonse Do i bring my hitherto slightly inferior R2R in an attempt to fill the gap or is this as the joker once said "treading on another man's rhubarb"? I am always cautious about my contribution to NEBO meets for historical reasons. In addition to this i took my R2R the recent Pelaw meet and last year to Owston Hall.

    I have a feeling this is going to be a great NEBO though i am treating the venue as temporary due to losing our home at The Windmill. I hope in the coming weeks to be formulating a flexible running order so please confirm what you are bringing and those who have not yet confirmed a preferred slot please get in touch. We have a couple of Bake Off's to perform too which i hope to perform later in the afternoon. Well, that's my little up date complete. Watch this space.

    That's a pity.... always enjoy hearing Alan's reels a spinning.

    Something tells me this is going to be a bit of vinyl fest this time though.

    I'd suggest you come armed with a turntable Steve!
    One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

    Yup, really sorry to hear that Alan can't make it. His demos are always superb, and he's always up for laugh. Never mind, we can always down a few frothies in his name!

    Lol - so was the last one! Do I have to wow you all again with my Techy?

    I think it'll be a bit of a passive preamp fest, too. A few of the guys, including Macca, have talked about bringing some tasty passives along. I'll have the Goldpoint by then, so will defo bring that with me. Macca also mentioned about bringing along his Akai speakers.

    Should be lots of fun, as usual!

    Marco.

    It seems from the news of all the kit coming to nebo I'm going to have many a religious experience probably better than you know what concerning consensual adults.

    Hi Steve, have you managed to get any order of equipment scheduled yet.

    I am bringing Firebottle KIN preamp with me which also has his newly developed linear phono stage. I believe one or two folk might be interested in hearing this? It has MC and MM phono capabilities, aswell as a great linestage so will fit in with almost any vinyl or Digital system. Hopefully it can be demonstrated throughout the day with various systems so shout up if anyone would like to try it with their kit!

    Worth hearing just for the phono stage never mind the preamp capabilities.

    Glad you are able to make it James with everything you have going on.

    I have a serious intrest in the Firebottle KIN.

    I will be there all day so drop it into my system anytime you like. I will have the Stello CD Transport with me and my Techie based Turntable with Linear tracking arm, this has a MM fitted at present (Goldring 1042).

    I just purchased one of RFC's Reference Digital interconnects for the Transport and can confirm what other folks have said in that it is very well constructed and totally transparent, adding nothing at all to the recording, great value, as these things go.

    I also now have a full set of interconnects made up of Klotz MC5000 and MS Audio plugs plumbing the active filter into the amp amongst other things.

    Looking forward to giving the set up its first public airing, I have just drawn up the stands I need to make for the speakers, time is getting short, but I should have it finished in time.
