alvin sawdust,
 
I will certainly email Bryston and ask them for a BHA-1 to demo at the meet.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

With your magical persuasive powers, do you think you might be able to get Bryston to send a BHA-1 to the meet for audition

Raffle update...
 
So guys I was talking to my friend about our forthcoming meet and the charity raffle, when he mentioned having a pair of "Earphones" that he'd worn once and that were uncomfortable hanging on his ears. Graciously accepting his donation I wasn't expecting anything great, so when he gave me the box I was absolutely flabbergasted...
 


 
So we have a pair of Audio Technica ATH-EW9 to add to the list of great raffle prizes, courtesy of my friend Tim, who was going to list them on eBay but has kindly donated them instead.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

ARCAM
 
The founder of ARCAM (John Dawson) sent me a PM advising that after years of management he was back doing product design and was instrumental in the development of the rDAC and rPAC. Having expressed an interest in personal audio and attending our meet, John has kindly offered his expertise and Audio Precision AP2 to discuss technical issues with attendees and measure gear with his personal lab kit.
 
John and his colleague (Andy Moore) will be informally demonstrating the rSeries DACs, FMJ D33 Super DAC and a new product that he's keeping very tight lipped about! ARCAM will also offer a raffle prize, possibly an rPAC, rLink or rBlink.  
 
If you're not familiar with ARCAM do peruse their website - http://www.arcam.co.uk/ - as this innovative British audio manufacturer makes outstanding products at realistic prices.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

Guys,
 
There'll be an interesting ARCAM related post tomorrow and another raffle prize announcement, so stay tuned and keep posting!
 
Cheers,

Has anybody suggested moving this event to London, due to London being a more central location and a airport hub? Plus London for UK meet I think is a great idea, more sponsors might show up if this would be moved. 
Just my two cents. 

 

[smial1966]

Biesas,
 
Most definitely not!
 
London categorically isn't central it's southern. Cambridge is far more centrally located geographically and is a quick trip up the M11 for Londoners. Besides which, the 2011 Head-Fi Meet was in London and this years event is most definitely an East Anglian affair.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

Lol sorry no offence 

 it is just probably since I live and study in London and haven't seen much of the country, plus I don't drive. I would happily come but it might clash with my holiday and it is a bit of a hassle to get there for me. Well still plenty of time

Biesas,
 
Absolutely no offence taken whatsoever.  

 
Cambridge is easily reached from London by train and Bar Hill is well served by buses from Cambridge bus station, so attending the meet shouldn't be too logistically challenging!
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

I am soooooo looking forward to this meet!
 
Are people staying over on the Friday before or the Saturday night? Both are good for different reasons but I can't decide whether to stay Friday to get an icebreaker or Saturday to discuss/rave about events of the day. Guess I'll go with the flow but what are you guys doing (assuming you are staying over at all)?
 
Cheers

Unbelievable lol

 

[smial1966]

SpudHarris,
 
From what I can gather some people are booking Friday and others the Saturday night. I would mention that Travelodges don't really have public areas for socialising, so if you decide to stay at the Cambridge (Lolworth) Travelodge, it may be better to book Saturday night as there's likely to be a post event dinner at the nearby Menzies hotel. 
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

[big-man]

this is what im think too, im basically waiting to see what you decide and going on that, that way ill know at least one person will be there at the same time =P
 
also jesus ATH-EW9, not a bad fine at all =)

 

[SpudHarris]

Right, I think I may well go on the Friday night then and I'll probably stay at the Menzies Hotel. Anyone interested in a few drinks and a get to know on the Friday, meet in the Menzies bar and we can always have a walk elsewhere if peeps fancy a change of scenery. Bound to be a local with guest Ales for those who fancy....
 
We'll agree a time nearer.

 

[smial1966]

SpudHarris,
 
Jolly good. Unfortunately I'm not well heeled enough to stay at the Menzies Hotel.  

 
It'd be great if attendees staying over did meet socially for a noggin or two of ale.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.
