I'll definately be there, but maybe not until the evening, i'll see if i can get the day off work.

Am i right in saying that all the buses going down to Newington on the route map go down Minto Street and to your house?

I might bring:
Ergo 2 - just writing the check now
Deltec Precision Audio "Little Bit" MK3 DAC - If it arrives - 2 weeks 2 days and counting.

Yup. That'll be 3, 3A, 31, 37, 47, 49, 7 and 8. Don't get on the 5, 33, 2, 14, 30. Get off at the very last stop before Cameron Toll Shopping Center, walk backwards in the direction Newington and take the first street on the right hand side. Go in a bit and the entrance to my block will be on your left hand side directly opposite the new build. The building pinned on Google Maps when you type in EH165PN is the new build block. I'm opposite that one.

would like to join and 1st of March is fine for me as well.

I might bring: (1) Benchmark DAC-1; (2) either my HE60/Stax-007/Rudistor Egmont or K1000 /Primaluna Prolog Two integrated amp ( I can only bring one setup as they are quite heavy, particularly the integrated valve amp for driving K1000 is 25kg of weight)

I will arrive at Edinburgh bus station (St Andrew Square) first, any bus going down to your houses? otherwise I have to take a cab.

super2003, you can get the number 8 from the bus station. Just make sure that it's going in the direction of Cameron Toll.

That's extremely nice of you. I live about 10-15 minutes drive from the train/bus station. Shame I can't drive though

Is your Woo fixed yet?

there was nothing wrong - that was this fancy MIT IC and it's impedance adjustment switches

but that is fixed as well

Good so you'll be bringing your WA4 and W5000s right? I need a good listen to it! Bring your top-loading CDP too (iirc that was yours right?).

just talking to a couple of friends, one of them might travel to Edinburgh on the last week of Feb and willing to help me bring some gears to your house. If he definitely can make this trip, I have no problem bringing two setups.

I'll have to drop out of this one - it's too close to my university interviews. I'm sure I'll see you at another meet sometime.

Disregard my post above, I should be able to come! I just got the dates through for my final interview at Durham and that's on the 20th, plenty of time between the two dates. I have a friend who would like to come along if that's alright. If that makes it difficult to put two of us up for the night, that's no problem, we can probably book a hotel in advance without too much trouble.
