I have a handful of LPs I don't need. Unplayed and mostly still sealed in shrink-wrap. I'll bring them along. Stuff like Ella & Louis, The Band, Tom Waits (Sowrdfishtrombones) Gregory Porter and Ray Charles.

Good stuff Ivor.
I've several CD's and a few bits of kit that I'm done with.

I think most of you know where my place is.
But for those who don't please PM me and I'll reply with directions and my number.
Kick off from 1 p.m. and wrap it up 6ish.

Does anybody have a MM phono amp that they can bring ?
And a set of speaker cables please ?
It's looking like a mostly solid state amplification thing.

Thinking of playing 57's and TYTOS with 400 watt and 50 watt amps
Frans valve pre amp [gorgeous]
ADCOM GFP [Great Fucking Preamp as it became known]
TD 124 with SME 3009 and Shure V15
T+A G10S, SME M2 and Clearaudio DaVinci V2

Also a Mac with Audirvana Plus playing some Tidal MQA streaming to see what it's like.

We've been getting really nice sounds from combos of all above.
Some of which is pretty modest kit.

Cheers
Gerry

I have a vintage preamp with built in MM (and MC) stage that is actually very good. I'll stick in the back of the car so it'll be there if needed.

I'll bring a set of speaker cables - analysisplus silver.

Hi Gerry,
I'm fairly sure I have made a window in Sunday big enough to drop in if there's standing room?
I didn't think I could but it's now looking doable.
I'll throw a pair of speaker cables into the car along with a nice little passive preamp.

Good news Derek
See you tomorrow

Big thank you to Gerry for hosting a relaxed and totally enjoyable get together.
Music inter-spaced with good conversation or was it good conversation inter-spaced with music.
More than happy I made the effort to get there.

Just to add my thanks to Gerry for hosting this band of gypsies.... great evening of music, chat and useful information.

Thanks to everyone for a great afternoon. Really enjoyed hearing Nigel's amp driving the Quad speakers. Thanks to Gerry for hosting it. James
