Woohoo - always nice to have some stuff coming!!

Like I said up above - normally we end up running out of time, so if its loads of hassle for anyone to bring anything - well, don't put yerselves under that pressure. Bring what's handy!!

Dowser: I'm interested in what you think of the sound from the quads - seeing as you have experience of before and after reconditioning of the rectifier board.

Barry: yeah, i remember yours well. And you have infected me with the desire for stacked ones. Now all I need are a mint condition set of ESL57's preferably free!!

Fran,
Just back off holidays today - perfect timing :) I'm there!

Looks like you will have to stay up all night baking extra batches of biscuits :)

God to have you on board jkeny - more than one will want an audition of the hiface I would imagine.

Hi Fran would have liked to make this meet but just back today from overseas visit to friends. Maybe next time. Especially would have liked to here ESL63's as they seem to be a sensible compromise in size and modern looks.

A wonderful evening of hardware, music and biscuits. HUGE thanks to Fran and his ever patient family for allowing audio geeks take over his house until very very late. Good to meet all the usual suspects plus a few new ones.

...and coffee :-)

Indeed, a great evening - was great to meet everyone, and to hear some new music and hardware.
