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, JVC DX1000
Halcyon with Senn HD800, Beyer T1, JVC DX1000. (The Halcyon tube amp is my own design. It is large and heavy owing to the quantity of iron used in the design, and occupies 2x 4U 19" rack cases. It uses autoformers for volume control, choke loaded triodes, TL-404 output autoformers, choke input PS, gas tube regulation. If this amp was sold commercially I would guess it would retail at $10k.)
6H30/6C45 common cathode tube amp. (Doesn't sound like a tube amp. Very SS sound with excellent leading edge definition.)
6H30 parafeed amp. (Think DNA Sonnet or Hagerman Cornet. 1/10th the parts cost of the Halcyon.)
DAC's. Whilst I have a penchant for NOS DAC's, I also own a dcs Paganini which people might be interested in hearing. I can also bring my own design balanced DAC's, (again very large and heavy, 19" rack cases), a 4x (stacked) TDA1541, Sowter transformer I/V, balanced tube output stage, or a 2x AD1865 (in differential configuration), Sowter I/V transformer, balanced tube output stage. (Or a single AD1865 DAC with SE tube ouput stage.) Personally, the 2x AD1865 is probably my favourite DAC but I'd understand if people preferred me to bring the Paganini.
Transport..... I could bring a CD spinner, but I'm more inclined to use a Transporter and a laptop. But if you'd rather a disc spinner I'll bring the TEAC transport instead.
