Autumn bake off in Lawrence Town

[freefallrob]

Not only that but he'll hang around to the bitter end and scoop up any leftovers that may be up for grabs too (kept it off my waistline)

Dean only eats at bakeoffs and fasts inbetween, it's like a religious thing.

I'm new here...and would love to make this my 1st bake off experience. Not sure I can bring anything in terms of gear, but I will bring loads of questions for you all!

Start time 12 ish

Finish time ……..when you’ve all had enough 

 

[bigrod]

If any of you guys and Gals have a nice pair of standmount speakers that wouldn’t be too much hassle to bring along I’d like to try something a little less vintage in the mancave . All the speakers I have are basically pre 1980 in the mancave ..

I have various amps to try them with

Sonus Faber Musica

Pioneer A9

Quad gear

Revox

Also a mm phono step up as the Musica is line level ..I do have a couple of phono amps but want to try some others 

kindest regards Julian

Cannot help with the speakers but have both PS1 and PS2 phono stages I can bring. Both do MM

Hi all

Not exactly current, rather from the early 2000's, I have a pair of these lurking in the spare room:

Good morning All

re - parking 

Myself and Diane will put our cars down the road leaving 3 spaces on the front of the drive for those bringing any gear ..

Anyone else who comes by car there is plenty of space on the road so long as you don’t block any driveways

Kindest regards Julian

 

[slavedata]

I intend to bring a Guy Sargeant Valve phono stage, a 1:6 Partridge SUT and a Hana SL.

Look forward to seeing you all Saturday.

 

[freefallrob]

See you all in a bit, looking forward to it.
