MrQ,
 
Apparently size (or wattage) isn't important, it's what you do with it that counts!

Just brilliant. Count me in. I shall bring Hifiman HE-5LE, Denon AH-A100, Objective2, Arcam rDAC, Pure i20 and a 17" MacBook Pro plus quite possibly a Neco V3 Dual Mono Amp and any future gear that I might buy in the mean while.
 
Is it Arcam that you're in talks with? Because they are from Cambridge.
 
Thanks
Ven

Ven,
 
All will be revealed shortly.
 
I'm visiting the village hall this Thursday evening to check out the power points layout, tables and chairs, kitchenette and so on. Is there anything else that I should consider?
 
Photo's of the hall layout will be uploaded on Friday and I'll reveal the exact location - would GPS co-ordinates be helpful too?
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

Count me in as interested, but not sure about being double booked on that date.
 
But if I do make it, I would bring a Stax O2 Mk1 and BHSE, which, judging from the list so far, would increase the Stax/electrostatic contingent by a substantial amount.
 
This is assuming the BHSEs really do start shipping in the next few months.

TheAttorney,
 
Stax and the BHSE would be wonderful additions to the meet - so fingers crossed that you aren't double booked and that the amp ships on time.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

Exciting news guys,
 
Mark Dolbear of www.highendworkshop.co.uk and www.electromod.co.uk has kindly agreed to co-sponsor the meet. Mark has pledged to ensure that our event will be free to enter if no more sponsorship is forthcoming - though I'll continue to beaver away on this and contact potential exhibitors.
 
As most of you probably already know, Mark is the go to guy if any of your high end kit needs repair or servicing. He's also the distributor for Schiit in the UK and will bring their product range along. Mark has also invited the Stax representative and it's likely that there'll be some SR-009's to audition.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.
 
P.S. Keep posting messages and let's raise the meet profile.

Awesome! This is fantastic news Andy. Mark was a top bloke to have at last years meet, and who could complain about having a selection of Stax and Schiit gear to listen to! If the SR-009 does make it to the meet, this could be a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear possibly the world's best pair of headphones.
 
Exciting stuff indeed

John,
 
The Grado PS500 (re-cabled with Moon Audio Black Dragon) are mine so you're welcome to give them an extended listen at the meet.
 
Now then, I'm in discussion with an American boutique amplifier manufacturer to import their solid state headphone amp for the meet. No names yet, as the manufacturer has to check RoHS compliance and make an amp with lead free solder, but if this comes off we're in for a rare sonic treat!
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

I have to say, this is looking better and better! I'm relishing the prospect of listening to everything I can, it'll really give me a sense of perspective of where I'm at on the audiophile ladder, having never had the chance to try stuff before, and it'll probably result in increased future wallet bashing too!
