Re: MC Phono Stage Bake-off

dropping them off would be fine, I equally don't mind fetching them, just it would be difficult to do on the day of the bake-off. I am sure we could find suitable packing to get them back to you.

Re: MC Phono Stage Bake-off

Jayman - Colinwil and Despearce. They wanted them directly after Huddersfield. It is the event Bigman agreed to and promised Firey stuff for it. BTW Colin and Des can you collect from Huddersfield if not I need a name, address, phone number for sending. I could, as long as weekday collection is OK....

Re: Arkless / Cambs Audio 640p phono stage

if you are thinking about the one at Robs, it is I think, a arkless modded 640P, that has subsequently been modded by someone else. At least I think that's what the guy said.

Re: Arkless / Cambs Audio 640p phono stage

I am looking forward to it. They are normally enjoyable days. The list of music you want to buy always grows to silly levels. Some body usually sticks a real room clearer in along the way. Last time we met at mine it was J Coltrane, Ascension. The man has made some fabulous albums, but that was not ...

Re: Arkless / Cambs Audio 640p phono stage

I'm in Sheffield, Colin's in Scunthorpe, the usual crew will travel from Chesterfield, Leeds, Preston area, Swanwick, couple of others from Sheffield, one near Worksop and others I can't remember.... The ''Yorkshire massive'' is certainly expanding Yorkshires boundaries a bit. Stops all the inward ...

Re: Why do we love music

Music speaks to us in a way that no other ''language'' can. I am never sure if it a emotional reaction to the music, a memory stimulus, a just a pure pleasure thing, in way a familiar voice is. I also find the mood and circumstance has a large bearing on what I want to listen too. My must listen to ...

Re: Arkless / Cambs Audio 640p phono stage

Scunthorpe always sounds like the end of the universe, where monster live :mrgreen: But I can always send stuff if wanted. I have been trying like mad to get a bake-off culture going here but with little success and was blocked out of the really good one at Wigwam. Why is it most hi-fi enthusiasts ...

Re: Arkless / Cambs Audio 640p phono stage

not a bad idea, my streaming set up has been getting a bit more use recently. Roon and Tidal make it so easy to roam around different music. Is it USB or coax?

Re: Arkless / Cambs Audio 640p phono stage

may be too far away doc, its in Scunthorpe. If not feel free. (Sorry for the delayed reply- been working at a fishing lake all day) It would be interesting to try Des's new phon0 against the ios, and yours. At the moment we have around 15 or 16 people attending. Its more social, piss takeing and mus...
