Here's a few, only taken on the phone so low quality

Where are the photos, if only of traditional underpants?

I get back to chichester, having had to miss all the fun and not even an mp3 of John's happy birthday, let alone flac.

Having retrieved his camera that he left at John's, Brook will be along shortly.

Many thanks,  What are the speakers with striated veneer?

Remarkably civilised, I recall a previous event when the tide of equipment extended half way across the playroom.

If anything there was even more kit than ever before, the pictures just don't show it all, not many sources but lots of big amps and stand mount speakers.

Dynaudio. I think the model was special forty, but I stand to be corrected.

Looking at the picture - yes they are Dynaudio Special Forty in grey birch.  I've got a pair in my dining room powered by a Moon Neo Ace - sounds lovely :rockin:

Love the SP10 in the original obsidian plinth. I had one just like that which I wish I still had.

It was sounding and looking fantastic.

Hi,

A bit late to the thread but I only just found it!

Really nice to read the positive feedback on the Bigbottle Phonostage. Thanks for getting it out and about Barrington!

A bit of background info:

The version Barrington has is the first prototype we built (Red PCB).  We are now into our third revision (Green PCB) of the Bigbottle, which has added MM capability to the existing MC circuit. The Jfets are now of higher performance figures and we have identified some components which can be upgraded if you are that way inclined!. I have also added a DC trap in my personal Bigbottle, bought from ATL and I use SPOTFIRE wiring throughout.

The bare PCB's are a non-profit venture. Forum members from Audioaddictsforum.com, Artofsound and DIY Audio have contributed their time, effort and money into creating a DIY project that anyone can build. If you are capable of soldering, and using a multi meter (very simple level of use) you will be able to build your own. We even have a very comprehensive BOM with part numbers for Mouser and Farnell.

Over 30 of the original "Production" PCB's  (Blue PCB) have been sold worldwide, which may not seem a lot but I'm hopeful of more positive feedback once they are constructed. I am proud of the project and the HiFi community for coming together.
