Worth noting that the Ember was originally designed by a certain F.P. de Gruijter and then marketed by Garage1217, so Frans should get at least some credit for the design. I have another amp designed by him and it's served me extremely well over the past few years.

Not sure I can make it depending on how busy I am, but if there were to be an Orpheus confirmed to be in attendance... that might swing things.

Sorry if this has been already asked somewhere (I checked back ~5 pages) but is there anywhere to buy the E12 in the UK/Europe yet? Customs fees for orders from the US is something I'd rather not have to deal with right now. I haven't been following the development of this amp like I did with...

Norwich airport is probably your best bet, still some distance from King's Lynn though.

Quote: If you don't want it I'm sure that someone on here would love to have it donated to them. :p

Quote: Well that's a bugger then! Thanks for your kind offer but sadly I'll be moving to university in a few days and don't know what my future address will be and probably won't have much time to listen to amps for a few weeks anyway. Since the amp was at the meet, does anybody have any...

Quote: Was one of the missing amps the Sicphones silicon carbide amp? I remembered it being mentioned in the original thread and looked around for it at the meet but didn't see it anywhere. It's pretty distinctive looks-wise. I'm vaguely thinking about a getting the DIY kit from Kickstarter...

Quote: Memo to self: never, ever decide to give someone a lift to a train station in an unknown city in the dark with no kind of streetmap. We were lost in Cambridge for a bloody long time because of you. (Also only got home about the same time you did.)   Many thanks to Andy for...

Quote:   I tend to magically turn my CDs into FLAC files using a computer. If you're looking to (legally) get hold of FLAC files you'll have trouble outside of offbeat services like Bandcamp that offer a variety of formats or audiophile-specific services like HDTracks. For me, buying the...

As long as the X3 is less than the size of the iPhone 4, bigger than a handful of walnuts, has 3 separate headphone outs (including one with a tube stage, one with a class A solid-state amp and one with a 2.5mm socket, weighs exactly 98.6 grams, has asychronous USB, coax in and out, Toslink in...

I rarely find anything that I listen to above 3 on the volume knob on low gain. Even with the 150ohm RE-262s I find that I'm generally only on about 2.5. The only thing I have that needs more power is the 600ohm K240DF, and that's not really a fair comparison.   I've never heard Superluxes...

So is the situation now that we need to 'order' a t-shirt before the meet, or that you'll have some stock to hand? Either way, I suppose my expressing an interest in a medium wouldn't hurt...

I'd be perfectly willing to write some detailed impressions on it, though I'd need a reasonable amount of head-time and wouldn't want to be hogging it from any other people! It would also be good to make sure that the source/headphones can be changed easily so that people can get balanced...

Okay, my guest has confirmed that he'll be attending and would also like to come to the meal. So that's one extra.

I'm interested in the dining - though somewhat concerned about the lack of puddings on that menu.
