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

That's great Dave. I too have a few others waiting to confirm..mainscablesrus wrote: ↑Sun Apr 15, 2018 10:03 pm I might try to find a few strays to bring along to keep the numbers up.
Your not bringing your best speakers then ?

110 kg per speaker. They are staying put.

Didn't realise it was 2 days. Can someone clue me in as to what normally happens, where people stay, is there a bar...
Also do we need to say what kit we're bringing? If everyone brings a full system that's a lot of kit. I mostly want to bring my new prototype ALL-DHT pp amps, happy to bring the Lowther dx4 I normally run them on (plus powered subs). The amps are (currently) balanced xlr input only, I'll definitely bring my balanced dac. I might bring SME deck and balanced phono stage if I can be arsed. I would REALLY like to hear my amps on non-lowther speakers if anyone is brave enough. Need to be efficient though 2 x 45 output tubes per channel.

Glad you have found the thread Mick
Its nice when people bring a full set up and if you can please do, there is a big room and we set up all the systems around the outside. It works quite well and its a good day too.
There is a few efficient speakers there usually but it pays to bring something you know to compare.. but your welcome to connect to mine
I don't stay over ( and I'm only there for the Saturday this year) so those in the know will give you the low down on the hotel ... good to have you coming
Thanks

It's in The Owston, formerly: The Owston Lodge, = pub + restaurant, the function room we use is attached. Is on the A19 just north of Doncaster.
Those staying over usually use the adjacent Owston Hall Hotel. Tip: accomodation in the Coach House is cheapest! Best check ASAP may be sold out. Other I know of (and we have used) is the Premier Inn in Pontefract.

I'm not coming. I'm sorry but the thing about family stuff is that its always there to bite you in the bum. From discussion with others all over the place it also seems that when the going gets tough there are family members who just aren't there and the odd family member who is.
So.... think 'Nurse Andrew' ( I've done this sort of thing before so it isn't so difficult) in its most menial and needed, mundane and patience sort of thing. But I'm the one who is there.

All rooms are booked at the Owston Hall. Anything else means a drive, which means not drinking, which means I may as well go home I reckon. A few beers and a short walk would have been good, but it's not to be so no problem.
I live in Silkstone, which is between Penistone and Barnsley. I'm sure I can offer a room if anyone else has left it late to book. Hmm that might depend on how much kit I have in the car ...
Do others leave kit in the function room overnight then ? Or in cars.
