Because of the Northern train drivers Saturday strike action I'm going to end up changing trains at Mirfied, and nearly an hours wait for the connection. :shock:

Such is life.

I wonder if the caf'e outside Huddersfield station does a full English ? :) :)

There's a good Veggie cafe just up the road on Trinity Street called Peppercorns. Good noms.

In the end I waited till lunchtime and had a small fish and chips (£4) from a chip shop a few yards from the shop.

Nick's new power supply for the Garrard 401 was amazing. Even I could tell the improvement within seconds. :)

A Big Thank You to Dave for Hosting another very enjoyable Event,
A even bigger Thank You for directing me to the Pie Shop :D :D
The DIY Monoblocks were superb brought along by the Paradise Duo. These from recollection presented with similarities that I related to the strengths of the Paradise.
Ali did it again, turned up with a Bang for Buck bit of kit, great Class A Monoblocks for £280, worth every penny, and then later psyched everybody out showing them they haven't got a chance of winning the Wam Suitcase Challenge, especially when it was visible their was room for a Kitchen Sink left in the Suitcase after it was packed full of Hifi Devices.
Phonostages as always are very individual choices, so we heard a variety of designs from Digital to Valve Hybrid, Valve JFET Hybrid onto All Valve.
I am looking forward to the next Phonostage Bake Off to hopefully reaquaint with a few models that were not on Audition.
I was happy to peel the Cellofane of a few albums, and put out a few unfamiliar sounds, shall we have a vote for the return of 'Kaleo' to a future event.
As a added bit of Icing Sugar to the day, I met another local to me enthusiast, Phil 'Pre 65', in the thick'T' of Yorkshire'T',
In the words of Guy Martin " Smashing, Fabulous, Bloody Marvalous".
