We are in the function room of "The Owston" which is a pub on Station road, just outside the village of Askern.

It's a little way from Adwick and I'm not sure there are any taxis there - you'd probably have to book a cab in advance to meet you.

Alternatively, if you get off at the main station in Doncaster I'll pick you as I'm passing and run you back again.

I'm passing on a message from our-RayP as he's in Cornwall at the moment without internet access.

He says he almost certainly can't make Owston on the Sunday now.

I've been using them on my KLS 3 based speakers, and they sound great, Vocals, Highs, Mids, Bass, all are very appealing to the ear. I've had a full Day of CD replay on Saturday and today a few hours on vinyl.
I,ve bypassed the Slagle AVC at present, driving the amps by the source, dare I say it, the AVC don't let the Bass through in the capacity the amps allow,
when driven by the source. I'm at present using the amps inbuilt balance controls to adjust volume.
War of the Worlds on vinyl today was a replay that I would recommend to be experienced.
I am intending on hooking them up to the OTA 57's, but don't see this happening before Owston. I might try and squeeze the 57's in the vehicle.
The new experience for me is how the CD Performance did not seem a welcome departure when the vinyl went on.
These amps are presenting the CD in a way that is to me, very revealing but non fatiguing on the ear.
These amps took 15 years to realise, so taking them to Owston after a weeks ownership is a biggy for me.
I rarely get aprehensive, but it has crept in about the audition.
The laminations of the autoformers can be restacked to change the inductance, might help with the bass?

Thank you Ali, I'll look into your suggestion, I like the Slagle, so it's worth the time spent.

What's the input impedance of the 845 amp?

Hi Keith, if you where planning to come on Saturday I would need to know a few days before hand as there is a buffet organised, but Sunday is much more of a layed back day. Tea/ coffee and shares towards the room hire will work out at around £10 (Sunday)
As John said, start time on the Sunday is around 9.30 to 10.00 and if you can please bring a system.... it's good to compare what you've got, with what you might fancy making ?

Just post to confirm you coming and I'll add you to the list.
If you where to come on the Saturday I need to know by tues morning for the buffet numbers
Thanks Steve

The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number

Regret to say Geoff now can't make it and I can only make Sunday.

I also won't have completed my amps so I'll be sans system. Boohoo
