I'd also like to chip in with a thanks to Andy.
 
Not just for organising the meet, but also for lending me his Audio Note CDP. This produced a very natural sound and should be on anyone's shortlist who are looking for a £1k CDP (or even multiples of that).

I suggest that you lot start an impressions thread after your meets separate from the thread for the meet proper.
I visited your area in November last year. Had a lovely time hearing musical performances at King's College, Jesus College and Michael House.
Bellied up to the bar at Cambridge Blue which is unforgettable.
Cheers.

I had a nice chat with the Violectric rep, I just didn't realised it was Fried. Very friendly chap and I now understand why people are raving about his amps, smooth as butter with excellent prat so will definately buy one down the line.
I might be biased owning the same Little Dot as George but his MK6 is a real bargain. I was pleased to realised that when paired with the right tubes and my HE-6, this combo wasn't too far behind the Blue Hawai + 007 Stax

I too would like to thank Andy for organizing such an amazing meet. I cant believe how many setups there were on demonstration, there simply wasn't enough time to demo all of them and of course it was really nice to meet some fellow head-fi Er's.

Guys,
 
What can I say?!? The meet was fantastic and thanks once again to the retailers for sponsoring it. Attendees brought a wide variety of great gear along and there was some really high end kit present. So thanks to each and every one of you!
 
Everyone I met - it was nice to put faces to your forum monikers - was lovely and I have to say a huge thanks to Fried for travelling from Germany with the Violectric range - enjoy your whiskey my friend.
 
Organising the meet was a blast and not at all difficult, so whoever arranges next years event will have great fun. Additionally you'll get to demo some fantastic equipment.
 
Now then, thanks to your generosity purchasing loads of raffle tickets we've raised the amazing sum of £1150 for the Cambridgeshire Deaf Association. Wow, what a great outcome to a wonderful day.
 
Cheers my friends,
 
Andy.

Andy, you are the greatest! Thank you so much. Thanks also to everyone who helped with the meet and making it such a memorable event. The range of gear available was truly outstanding. The only regret I have is that there wasn't enough time to try everything. Quick impressions: the highlights of the meet for me were the Stax 009 and chatting with the guys from Arcam. The Audeze LCD2 and LCD3 do amazing bass but I find the sound signature too much tilted toward the lower frequencies. The Stax on the other hand really hits the right equilibrium for me. Now I need to talk to my banker about taking that second mortgage...
