Listening Session at mine

Post by Derek »

Listening Session:

This may be a bit of a non-runner for a long weekend and after the Big Dublin Hi-Fi Show but if a few of you fancy listening to a pair of Quad 63s powered with an Airtight ATM4 they can “come over to my place” as The Drifters once said.

Sunday June 3rd 2.00pm until...

Bring some LPs and some CDS and sit in the hot spot for a while.

I don’t have multi-level valet parking, or a dedicated listening room so parking is how you find it and the room is what it is.
I will provide Coffee & Tea included in cover charge :)

I’ll send details by PM reply.

Hi Derek,

Don't think I'll be able to make this one, unfortunately, but if plans change I'll let you know. It's always worth a trip to Derek's, not least to marvel at the size of the CD collection!!

Working sunday but could get out on break at some point. You are in Naas? Love to hear the 63's and airtight your rig has a bit of a reputation.
If going ahead pm directions etc.

Would love to go but don't think it will be possible: will be dragged to Bloom on Saturday. :(And Forbidden Fruit (Wilco) is on Monday.... And band practise at some point over the weekend as well! Oh well next time....

PS: I am brewing up a plan for a summer bbq or something similar in here in Bray. I know lots are away but lets see if I can make it happen... ;)

I'm afraid the good people of Dublin need me for their wine and wine associated products. I know I can't get cover for Sunday because of family in-law commitments. Next time.

Unfortunately I will be in Ballyshannon at the weekend but otherwise would love to go to Dereks.
I have been lucky enough to experience his generous hospitality and to hear his fantastic system earlier this year.
So anyone heading over on Sunday will be in for a treat.

Many thanks for your generous words, I’m not used to receiving accolades, (and probably right not to).

If there are some out there still weighing it up, I’m definitely going ahead, bring whatever you want to play nothing will be refused, (except for the standard U2 ban :))

Pat, I hope the Nak is still performing to your liking, we’ll catch up again.

Hey, Derek, hope I'm not too late to book a seat? I'm allowed out on day release now & I promise to behave myself, not slash the seats when you put on that Bill Haley music!!
