Dave, Yes. Though rates have increased markedly over the past couple of years. Paul, Yes. Still very much up for this. If September, I am able to make weekends excluding those of 5th and 19th.
Looks like October 17, 14 or 31st for me if we're looking for a Saturday after September.
Just a thought. If Paul were to do a speaker bake-off, I could do an amp one sometime. Speakers aren't on here, because of polished wood floorboards suffering.
To make sure everyone can come, how about early October and that way Col and Dave can make it over too? 17th ok with everyone?
Lets keep it as an open bake off event. Room for speakers may be limited depending on what I have in at the time. You cant move for speakers here at the minute so now would be no good!
Sadly, all impulse and Rhapsody speakers will be long gone by then so it'll just be the Raptors plus whatever others want to bring although space is limited!
I'd advise bringing a selection if interconnects, longer may be better for source bake offs (using the Emille) and for using my sources to what amps you want to bring.
You'd be welcome James, and the OTO will drive the Raptors but won't get the best from them as they need a little more grip (lower output impedance from the amp is really needed) but I'd be intrigued to listen to the OTO as it did great things with the Agathon Ultimates I used to have here.
So, we have Dave, Doc, James, Sov & Col? It may get a little crowded with any more!
Suzy's in too. We can just squeeze the hot seat in! Hot chilli oil for the pizzas will be plentiful as we've had a bountiful chilli harvest this year. Amongst them are Tokyo Hot and Norfolk Naga (Ghost Chilli)....be afraid....
Thought the SECA was reserved for boiling the tea kettle.
Thanks for finding room for me. I will be relying on my Ladybird Book of Audiophilia on the day. But can contribute homebaked Chelsea buns (chilli oil optional).
Hi guys. Feeling sad and a bit bad about this... Looks like I can't be at the bake-off after all. As I say, feel bad, as I know that my needs influenced the date. Sorry. On the other hand, it looks like it's a bit oversubscribed so maybe there's an upside. In any event I'm sure you'll cope without me somehow. :-)
I should be able to put a couple of people up overnight here in Gloucester if required, so I can still support the event. :-)
Hi People's I'm also not able to make it to the bakeoff. I've run into a bit of poor health and I need to look after meself. It would have been good to show off Colin's big 40w design, maybe another time
Just catching up, haven't been looking in for a while as busy...sorry to learn you're poorly James, hope it's nothing serious and get well soon. Begs the question now, are we still on and if so, who is actually attending now?
Good man. Looks like it's down to 4 people then? Suxy, yourself, Col, and James?
My Turntables and CDP are specially programmed to have a seizure if plinky plonk Jazz (nice!) or contemporary improvised jazz (smmmmmokin!) come anywhere near them, ahem...
Am I right in thinking there are plaenty of SW UK based members here? I lived just outside of Bridgwater many years ago....and rep'd all round Cornwall, Somerset, Devon & Bristol. Cornwall is my favourite though

Paul,

In any event, I welcome it. Thanks Paul.
\:D/
Please go ahead if others can do.
All weekends except 7th are free.
1. 28th
2. 21st (tho probably couldn't do the Sunday (22nd))
3. 14th
I can't do weekend of 7th at all, and re. the previous weekend, I could make only Sunday 1st (Saturday 31st Oct is RWC final).
Any diary overlaps...?
Although it won't drive Paul's speakers very well.
And yes, Suzy wants in.
