I have a good bit of DIY gear - valve and solid state amps, 701s, HD650s, Denon AH-D2000, stax lambdas, and a variety of sources. There are others out there with more stuff. But we'd need a date, venue (preferably quiet so you could listen in peace!) and so on.....

I'd be up for a meet up, but I'm not in a position to organise it. I'd say its a case of build it and they will come!!

Ah rotten timing mark! Meet was great, full report over on tir na hifi

I've just done a similar job on my GO1000. I used a y cable I had from a HDD enclosure I bought ages back. I taped off the V+ pin on the input connector to the laptop, and then used one of those phone recharger batteries as the power supply on the other leg of the Y. Works great.

I don't have exact details, solid state design, fet input, mosfet output, high quality power supply. I don't offhand know, but I have a buffalo 2 that you can hear on the day.... Fran

Several DIY amps, and also some commercial ones.     I'm pretty stoked that one of the fellas, fryderyk is bringing his DIY amp - just about the best HPA I've ever heard.    Just for kicks, the computer audio setup will be using horns and all valve amplification (not that you'd know it by...

Hi mark, 1 to 6ish is the plan. Do you want to send me a pm with your email/mobile and I can send you on directions. We have a good line up, both headphone and regular HiFi. Some really really good amps sources etc... Fran

I'd say no prob....let me confirm and be back to you.   Maybe send me on your moby by pm?   Fran

Definitely - we should able to sort a lift. Where are you coming from?

I think Mark is coming along as well.    No worries on the rig - do you think you can bring the HD800 safely? I have my own AKG701, and HD650s and a set of vintage stax lined up. Plus a few sources etc.....     Fran

Just popping in to say its all systems go for next Saturday - open to all who would like to come along....   PC audio room "regular" room - CD, vinyl, etc Headphone room....       Fran
