Dazhead,
 
Congratulations on winning! 
 
As your winning entry was somewhat lacklustre, would you care to beguile us now with your acerbic wit?

Please PM me your address and I'll arrange to post your prizes.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

Thanks. Was planning to put something highly amusing and wItty (Oscar Wilde style) but the missis was nagging me for the iPad so just put in what I thought was 999 and gave up. Must have only got it by a second or two.

Unfortunately the attention drawn to my intellectual humour (or lack thereof) will undoubtedly lead to a huge disappointment. I'll hit you with it when you least expect it for full effect....so be prepared!!!

OK guys I'm back from a restful sojourn in Brittany.

Mindful of the fact that a meet equipment list update is long overdue, I need your help to add items that I've inadvertently omitted. So... please peruse the list in thread message 1 and if your gear isn't listed PM me your kit.
 
Thank you kindly.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.
 
P.S. I'll devise another fiendishly difficult competition soon with a spectacular prize.

Ah good.
So we'll have SR007, SR009, BHSE, and LL to compare if we want to.
Personally, I'm curious how a SR007+BHSE will compare to a SR009+LL.
What source will you have?


A really good source, either a Ayre/ Esoteric cd player or maybe the top USB Dac from Schiit. What i have read a heard from people i trust is these amps have people on both side of the camps some people like one and then other people like the other but when you say if you have to have one which one would you stick with they say LL, but of course this is only there interpretation and everyone is difference that is what is so good about this industry it's never straight forward?

Hello there
 
Looking at a DAC myself. Have a loan of one at the moment and it has really opened up the soundstage and brought out detail.
 
 
@julianbell92 Be interested in what you think about the Teac UD-H01 once you have lived with it for a while.
 
 
Not looked at the Schiit DAC, but may have a read up on the Bifrost, as it can do 24/192 via USB, which is what I need.
 
Also been following a thread about the Yulong Sabre D18.
 
But looking forward to the meet. Gives everyone a chance to listen to equipment that they wouldn't have a chance to else where. Especially a newbie like myself.
 
Cheers Frank

Hi Andy,
Coming back to titusgroans question, do you do a formal registry for the meet or is it just enough if I write it's me, my friend and potentially a headphone joining in? =)
 

That should just do just fine! Its just a turn up affair!

Acapella11,
 
Regardless of Swimsonny being factually correct in that meet attendees can just turn up with gear, if you intend to bring equipment with you please PM me and list your kit, as the venue has finite space and is already bursting at the seams. So I need to determine whether there'll be enough table space for all the equipment.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

ElectroMod,
 
I'll bet you a beer or glass of wine that my modified CD player sounds equally as good as your esoteric player at a fraction of the cost.

Hi Andy,
 
Are you still on your hols?
I will take that bet, just remember i did not say what players. There is a 40Kgs player from esoteric loads of cash as well...what do you drink just to make sure i have it on me to show you what you have missed out on.
