UK 2015 Head-Fi Meet (Cambridge - Saturday 25th April)

Moral dilemma, do I read through the competition entries and pick the winners, or burn-in the Chord Hugo TT to ensure that it sounds sublime at the meet?!?
Forgive me for I am weak. The Hugo TT sounds fantastic, it's the Hugo on steroids but never strident or fatiguing, just a wonderful musicality that definitely surpasses what it's diminutive sibling delivers.

Competition results announced tomorrow (sheepish grin).


Enjoy the TT while you have it Andy. I assume the Tera is connected?

Train to Cambridge station then walk 10 mins into town to get the +bus thats talked about in the first post (cost me an extra £3.20 on top of my train ticket for an all day pass). I'll be getting into cambridge station at like 10:30 and leaving at 17:30, more than willing to show you if your getting in a similar time as I've done the trip before (though if I'm honest I'm going to have to use google maps again as i've forgot almost entirely where to go).

Cambridge only has one railway station. www.thetrainline.com for cheap tickets.
Stagecoach operate the buses - https://www.stagecoachbus.com/localdefault.aspx?Tag=Cambridge - use the Find Bus Times website bottom left as it incorporates a journey planner.

  I'll be bringing along a Beresford Capella amp that Stan from Beresford has kindly lent me . Just need to complete a Turntable to bring aswell.

 
Thanks for the update, Oscar.  I'm hoping to have a listen to your HD540s if possible

If it's delivered on time and not delayed en route, the Cavalli Audio Liquid Crimson may make an appearance.

thanks Mattyhew, can you tell me how you purchased your tickets, or a safe and cheap way of buying train tickets, as there's plenty of expensive ways, also  I may need to buy open ticket for the day, as things are a litttle unpredictable until wednesday, thanks in advance to all, as this is open question.

I won't be bringing my HD540 Reference IIs they've just sold. Although they were nice and accurate their sound signature wasn't for me. I'll still have my Alpha Dogs HD800s and IE800s as special phones and loads of iems if people want to try them out. It'll be interesting to see whether people favour the sound through line out to my hpa200se amp or through optical out to my dacmagic plus or a combination of the 2
