Anyone up for a UK diyAudio Meet?

[pinkmouse]

I've been a bit intermittent Jacco, so I didn't get your mail.

Sorry you can't make it, and I hope the missus gets well soon. I'll drop you a line after the show to discuss the trannies. Thanks.

Well, better late than never, here's a working schedule for the weekend. If you arrive much before two on Saturday, we'll probably get you stacking chairs or moving tables.

Things to bring:

Yourself
Lots of kit to listen to
Any specialist cables you require, we should be able to supply power and standard interconnect/mains distro
Beer/wine if required
Favourite audition CDs. Some will be available, but you might have to suffer my taste!
Spare stuff you have lying around for the swapmeet. I have it scheduled in for Sunday, but I'm sure we can set up a few tables on Saturday as well.

We will try and provide basic tea and coffee facilities, ( you might want to bring a mug!), and some nibbles.

See you all tomorrow!

Wakey-Wakey!!!!

This is your early morning alarm call! Time to get up and get moving!

Van's packed and I'm about to walk out the door for my long drive to Middle-England. See you in about 3 hours or so!

I can't be there.

Have a great time and give us all the gossip about what all went on .
Cheers.

Just returned home, shame I can't make it on Sunday, but here's a couple of pics!

I'm not sure if Ant's addition of a drill driver to the top of his LGT has the same affect as adding feet to a CD player.

Nice to put some faces to names, and cheers to Vikash et al for the hard work in organising it.

How did the Orions sound ?
Any pics of the inside of those amps ?
Cheers,
Ashok.

Hi.

The Orions were really good with excellent bass. However, it was generally agreed that the rooms were far from ideal for listening - too much room boom!

Also on demo was a 2 watt triode amp, headphone amp and a selection of other speakers.

As said by sploo, it was good to put a face to names.

Let's see what today brings.

I've invited everyone to your place.

May I record thanks for the generous and friendly reception accorded me by folks I hadn't met before. Special debt of gratitude is owing to the organisers and to those who made very long trips to attend with what was very interesting kit. A special thanks to Jan Didden for travelling all the way from Belgium with Hugo and for his fascinating presentation on feedback and error correction techniques.
