Congratulations on your win Tom. Being an RTR lover it'll be interesting to see what you think of the Grace (he's a Mojo hater everyone!) when oh when are you gonna give up that bus driving job?

Holy moly! If I'd known that Tom was a Mojo hater before announcing the competition result I'd have rigged the vote in someone else's favour.

Heheh. I'm sure i read somewhere about my beloved Mojo being given undeserved praise I love that Tom's not afraid to speak out his opinions no matter how cool most of the rest of the World thinks that thing is. (Although he is obviously completely wrong about the Mojo, maybe that's why he hasn't got the love for Oldfield either) Love you mate , keep on trashing all my wonderful kit

Will tshirts be available on the day to buy, or do we have to order our own?

Please refer to thread posts #445 and #454.

That's probably my fault. Someone posted that I might be coming to the event, and all of a sudden, the event is front page news

I never said that I hate Mojo... What I said that I hate when that thing heats up so badly when in use while charging that almost dropped it the first time I picked it up...

Andy no worries I read somewhere that 9xx is slightly smoother and darker Mojo twin brother. That's s perfect in my book.
( here is relevant bit : http://www.headfonia.com/review-the-grace-design-massdrop-m9xx/2/ )


As I mentioned in my Mojo review that Mojo is over precise and over detailed - dry and not musical enough to my ears and main fault is that is sounds as every note was cut out with sharp knife. (to my ears anyway and only in combo with He6s)

So 9xx smoothness is good news. And regarding tonality as late Leonard Cohen said I like it darker

To sum up regarding my Mojo complaints in relation to what I read about 9xx: it is 2 out of 2 and all sorted.

As usual- couple of days of listening will tell and hopefully confirm
and I promise to share all my findings here. (mainly as a DAC with NVA amp + He6) but will give it a spin with Beyerdynamic 990 Pro 250ohm as after all the time spent with Hifiman cans Beyers are now simply too bright to my taste - again darkish dac/amp would be perfect!

On a different note my vintage Kenwood development an illness and don't know if it can be fixed in time or at all...

So gain some loose some as they say

corrected some typos - it was written on the train on my way from work

You want that shirt, most definitely. Post your pick in the thread.

Let's go!

As a newcomer to this thread, I don't get the MILKon Keynes thing...
What's the 'milk' reference all about lol?

It's in homage to the decorative public artwork(s) of concrete cows found in Milton Keynes - photo below. Hence the Milkon Keynes as a play on words of Milton Keynes and the get frothy reference - as in agitated or excited milk becomes frothy.

Much obliged
In terms of dairy product-based humour, I'd have gone for 'Stilton Keynes'
But that's probably why I'm not the one organising the event lol.
"Get smelly" would have been a far less appealing call to action
