Quote: I do not wish to be disrespectful to either you or the people attending this meet, but really, if we are talking about mains or HT it needs to be in a metal enclosure which is earthed, not a carton. It's not a DIY ONLY meet, where everyone can be expected to have a certain level...

Quote: Sorry, hadn't read that.   Unfortunately, some people just cant help themselves. I'm reminded of the f'wit who stuck his finger in the "flame" of a DIY'd plasma tweeter, (without a mesh guard), ....... "to find out just how hot, hot is"! If people can, they will! LOL.    

Quote: Don't wish to be a party pooper, but I hope whatever it is that you have uncased, is not supplied by mains voltage. You really don't want to get sued when someone sticks a finger where they shouldn't. ;) Due to prior experience having "exhibited" bread-boarded circuits, I'm only...

Quote: jr41, can you add the rest of my gear to your grid now that I've finalized what I'm bringing, please.   Amp: Halcyon DIY tube amp Source: Logitech Transporter and Touch, DIY AD1865 SE tube DAC   Hopefully, I'll be parked next to Antistase so I'll have access to his CD80...

Quote: LOL. The picture I had in mind was of my brother struggling, trying to maneuver a wheelbarrow down the path at the side of my parents house, with the power supply for a 211 PSE headphone amplifier strapped to it. (Complete overkill using a pair of 211's to generate 50mW - but...

Quote: Oh dear, this has gone off at a tangent..........   No, no, no, no, no and no! ;) I have zero interest in evangelizing DIY. I don't claim to speak for anyone else, but what I do I do for myself. If others happen to like it, or think it sounds good - well, I couldn't give a...

Quote: Antonio,   While I appreciate your support, the last thing I want to do is turn this into a discussion about me. To be frank, on the fringes of sanity would probably be the best description for me and my gear. My back of a cigarette packet calculations on the space required...

Quote: I've spoken to a couple of other people tonight with similar feelings. In any case, I'm not sure our interests are really served by a mainstream "event". To be perfectly honest with you as well, I don't really have any interest in hearing any of the other "commercial" equipment...

Quote: Thank you. Working on the basis of half a table, I'll bring one complete "home" system. What would people like to hear? Any preferences, PM me.   AKG K-1000 driven by Chazz (6550 tube amp)   Bottlehead Sex amp (with upgraded chokes/transformers) with Senn HD800, Beyer T1...

Quote: Yes, I read that. I also read an earlier post stating that AmpCity would have 6 complete systems and since it would seem that there are more systems provided by "friends" of AmpCity. Assuming that 10 tables are allocated to the commercial interests, that leaves 20 tables, times 2...

Quote: Thank you for the reply. On a practical level, what is your expectation regarding the space that is available? And how will it be allocated? ie. How many tables do you expect to be able to provide? And how many of those will be available to the non-commercial exhibitors? My...

There seems to be a contradiction here. The list of people exhibiting/demonstrating with "commercial" interests appears to be growing. There have already been several offers of discounts from people with commercial interests for items bought at the show. Not that I have a problem with this. But...

Quote: I look forward to reading it. I really do hope that the explanation of why the DAC cannot pass a 0dbFS full scale signal without clipping it differs from the previous explanation that it was a deliberate design decision. The pot (channel imbalance) is forgiveable on a product at...

I'd like to come too, although I can't confirm until next week.

Quote:   Whilst I'm a big fan of the Audionote toroidal digital transformers, I wouldn't get that hung up on this. Fine, the Touch doesn't have a transformer on the dig out, but most equipment that you plug it into will have one on the input. Personally I wouldn't worry about it if I knew...
