Hi Jeff,
Many thanks; I'll be there, when time/venue is finalized, will you post here, or PM?
I can bring my 6EM7 1.5W SET along - it's only little but it punches above its weight and Mohan really likes it.......
Will Mohan be coming along? No tube meet is complete without the guru - and he has the nicest 6AS7 SET I've ever heard......😎
Cheers,
Hugh

The meeting is Saturday 12 March @ 7PM here at my place in North Melbourne. I'll send you a PM with the address, etc.
Please bring along your amp.
Mohan hasn't spoken up, though I'm not sure he checks this forum regularly. I'll send him a PM.
Interseting Gathering
First of all thanks Jeff for being a great host. I've recovered from jet lag and am now happy to report my impressions.
We listened to 2 different valve amps.
The first was a 6EM7 1.5 watt SE Class A amp by Hugh Dean.
The second was Andrew's Pentode Push Pull 6V6 design.
Both amps sounded nice but very different, I used the word FAT to discribe the 1.5 Watt SE amp, very rich sounding, you never realized you were listening to such a low power amp. The push-pull 6V6 sounded very detailed, and the more it warmed up the better it sounded. Jeff had a CD player with a Kwak Clock, stepped transformer (very nice) and a pair of 3 ways that were moderately efficent 88-89dB as a guess. The music we listened to was a broad spectrum. Norah Jones, BB King, Jacques Loussier Trio, and even a little country music from an artist who's name escapes me now. 😕
We closed out with the classic DArk Side of the Moon from Pink Floyd on Andrews Pentode PP amp. Folks in Australia definately are a graet bunch to visit with.Unfortunately I could not bring my present amp a 6C45, 300B combo, it had to stay back home in the states. Didn't want to risk bringing that through 4 airports on the way.
