What is uk price for iCan Pro?
The more i read about it the more it looks interesting

It's around the £1600 mark, I think main cables r us sell it.

 

[Takeanidea]

Very reasonable. I'm going to order a couple in case I lose one

 

[Takeanidea]

Tom , you going to see if you can get some headfi discount before an impulse buy?

Blimey... missed my own competition prize announcement by 26 minutes. Anyway...

The first prize of a very nice hybrid amp/DAC from IMS Audio... drum roll... goes to our very own Trev (Takeanidea) for his brilliantly perceptive poem (post #256) which made me laugh heartily and explained a lot about the Cornish.

The runners up prize of a hybrid amp (sans DAC) from IMS goes to Dillan (dil3000) for his bold graphic illustration.

Well done to everyone that entered. Trev & Dillan please P.M. me your home addresses and I'll post your prizes soonest.

There will be a new competition starting tomorrow with a very nice prize!

How brilliant is that for a start to my weekend

 I shall PM you forthwith Andy. That graphic from Dillon was full of insight and did great justice to Dillon's talent

 

[Takeanidea]

I had always wanted to hear what the IMS Valve Amp was like. I didn't realise there was a Dac/Amp which is even better.
 
I shall put a review on the thread and take it to the meet and people can compare it against the Cayin i5

 

[dill3000]

Wow I got runner up!  Great - looking forward to trying out the IMS Valve Amp.  Well done Trev! wicked poem!

Congrats to both you and Trev

On the spot poem (written without any practice or editing:

Milton or Maynard

John Maynard Keynes was an economist
On whom my study and living are based.
I do not know if he would approve
The inefficient milky loops
Roundabouts and concrete cows
And travelers lost between here and now

"Was the city name derived from him?"
Ponders a perplexed American
Did the town a portmanteau adapt
Smashing John Milton's poetic cap
And Maynard Keynes' economist pen
To build a city of loops without end?

I cannot envision a poetical bent
That John Milton could have lent
Or an efficiency that can explain
How Maynard Keynes would fit the name
Maybe the planners just liked the John two
And tossed their logic down the loo?

I suppose that Google has the answers
But this health economist must study cancer.


I wasn't sure I'd have time to make a collage, as I've got to draw up an interview for RHA, an interview for iFi and port some reviews for the audioprimate.blog. My hits are down the last couple days. Must work harder.

@FortisFlyer75
 are you coming to Milton Keynes? I want to see what you are bringing if so. Same goes for you @Jackpot77
.

*Corrected a couple errors, I had put Milton in for Maynard. This is what on the spot poetry gets you!

Cheers,
Micah

Hi Micah

I went be able to attend, sadly - tax year end tends to take over the whole week including weekends in my job, and I'm due to complete on buying a house as well about two days after the meet, so spare time isn't my friend.

Will drop you a PM about the other stuff we have been talking about recently - all is still good, just need to get a few things organised!

 

[Turrican2]

Congrats Trev and Dillon, well played.

 

[Takeanidea]

Thanks very much Phil. Am still gobsmacked by Dillon's artwork. Knowing Dillon I wonder whether that was as finished as you wanted it my friend? It was posted at the very last seconds of the competition and I know you are always at breakneck speed with all the balls you are juggling......Am glad we got to see it anyway

 

[smial1966]

Already amended to use as the meet T-shirt graphic. What do you guys think?



I should receive a sample garment next week and will check the quality. If it's OK the T-shirts work out at £20, which is more expensive than previous years as those garments were bought in bulk (around 100 each time) and these T-shirts are individually printed to order.
