Hi John,
 
If everything goes according to plan we'll have a fantastic meet with a nice blend of old and cutting edge gear to audition. 
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

Getting well excited about this now!!!

Don't want to hi-jack but I guess we're trying to raise the thread profile anyway so a quick question...

If you were offered the little dot mkIII or mkV for the same money to be used with k701/SR325i/ATH-M50, which do you think would bring out the best of these headphones?

 

[Nulliverse]

@ Julianbell92, I'd be fascinated to hear this D11 PCDP. There's something very exciting about overlooked old skool portable source! Your post also prompted me to look into this, where I found very good comparison of old Sony PCDPs
 
£2 sounds more than reasonable Smial. This is shaping up to be a very interesting and enjoyable event.

Dazhead & Nulliverse,
 
I'll defer to more knowledgeable members to advise you on which Little Dot to pick.
 
Event entry is free!   The £2 refers to the price of buying a raffle ticket.
 
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

Hmm, how did I miss this thread again.. Hoping to see you all again.

Can't confirm as of now, but I do wish to join again.

STAX SR-404 Sig with LE pads, maybe the same Audio Technica setup as last year as well. Of course, the Beyer DT150, which well exceeded my expectation should be there at least if I am able to come.

Ra97or,
 
You are most welcome to attend this years meet. 

 
The challenge I face raising awareness of the event, is that when most UK head-fi members probably peruse the site in the evening, is when the Americans start becoming active and post thread messages. You'd be amazed how quickly a thread drops off of the recent activity board when the USA wakes up!
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

I added a more tidy link to my signature, I suggest everyone does the same. This thread is very easy to miss, but also too good for our UK and even EU Head-Fier to miss.

Copy that to the signature for the more tidy version of the link.

Been away for a while, and just found this thread. I'm only about half an hour away, so will try to attend. I can bring some kit along - Denon / Lawton Audio MD5000 (Denon AH-D5000 with some magic done to them), HeadRoom Micro Amp and DAC, not sure what surce but probably a 13" MacBook Pro driving the DAC via USB, fed by some CDs as my iTunes library is not high bit rate.

Regards,

Dave.

Can we buy more than one ticket?

 

[shamrock134]

Is the venue easy to get to via public transport?

 

[smial1966]

Hi John,
 
I don't think that attendees should be limited to how many raffle tickets they buy, as all proceeds are going to charity.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

shamrock134,
 
Bar Hill village is well served by buses from Cambridge bus depot. The Citi 5 (operated by Stagecoach) leaves every 20 minutes on Saturdays. The closest stop to the village hall is near Apple Trees. Link to bus timetable below.

Thanks smial, that means I might be able to attend.

 
Not sure if there's any gear I can bring that isn't already listed on page 1 though. I don't see a D7000 or Edition 8 on the list yet?

 

[smial1966]

shamrock134,
 
An Ultrasone Edition 8 and Denon D7000 would be most welcome additions to the meet.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.
