If there are any other things you would like to see chaps - let me know and I'll see if it can be arranged. The music side of it, you've hopefully seen in the first post and i hope you will all enjoy that.

It's hard to say whether I'll be free so far in advance but could you put me down and I'll let you no otherwise if I can't make it.

Can we get some of the brands to provide/sell us with their shirts? I would glady wear them and provide free publicity if they would. Not that they need parading.

 

[GSARider]

I can certainly ask.

What would be really awesome is to have some (UK-based, but not necessarly) upstream gear producers, like Chord, Icon Audio, Naim attend. I am not sure how many had the chance to demo their products.

Or even some good budget gear. ACS could be an interesting company to hear from. As could Musical Fidelity... Not that they are particularly budget! FiiO?

wow this is turning into a show in comparison to a meet..... Someone was right when they mentioned hiring out the excel

 

[GSARider]

I'm happy to speak to a few companies, but not too many as space will become an issue.

It'd be nice if it didn't become too commercial if we were able to maintain a balance between shopping and chatting.

From what I saw at the last meet I don't think there is too much danger of us not chatting!
Someone has got to pay the costs of the event.
As long as there are Headfiers who are generous enough to bring their kit along and allow people to check it out we will be fine.
I think companies are more keen to establish future custom than make sales on the day and the focus of attendees is more on meeting up and swapping knowledge than buying on the day.

 

[Takeanidea]

I'm cool with that

I share your worries! The last meet was great but there seems to be a lot more companies this time round etc

 

[GSARider]

That's because we don't have one main sponsor due to folk saying they would rather see more companies attend, it was the only criticism that I received, so each company is paying a lot less than having just one. Most are not there to sell in any case, just show their products and let folk have a look / listen.i need to raise enough cash to pay the hotel, lunches and refreshments, unless folk are willing to pay a ticket price to cover it.
