I,m very tempted to visit the Bake Off. Especially to hear Phonostages.
Can a list of devices be supplied that are to be presented ?

Will there be any relatively efficient / easy to drive speakers? Could bring my 15W OTL, would be interesting to see how much of a gap there is between it and mega-priced bohemoths. Also my AMB stepped-relay active linestage - good for balanced / unbalanced I/O. Though I realise neither of these are phonostages...

Linestage: Bruno Putzeys Balanced Pre + Hans Polak relay mod, LCDuino control
Power amps: 300B PP 'Symmetric Reichert'

David’s Maxonic speakers are 104db I believe, was going to bring my mini beast for the same reason.

There will also be my new 3-way Open Baffle speakers that are around 96dB efficient.

Cool! I'll show up with my OTL too and the AMB linestage then, if that's okay? The AMB is my first scratch-build so would be interested to see what people think of it.

Good list.

Sadly, family duties mean I am unable to visit today. I will be particularly interested to hear how well the Paradise performs having spent many happy hours matching transistors on my own as yet not quite finished project. I would have liked to hear Nick's creations. The reference must be a bit special. Hope everyone has an enjoyable day.

NVA Phono 1 has internal PSU, so it must be Phono 2.

Got back home in good time.
I had a very good day, supported with hospitaIity and honest assessment of the replay performances.
I attended in the hope I would be in the company of good guidance and equipment to support this, all these was available surpassing my expectations.
I learnt a lot and was very impressed at how the performance improved of the devices, as they went up the ascending value scale.
I left with very good impressions, and am glad to have attended.
