Have the loan of a Smartractor at the moment, so I'll bring that if anyone wants to set up their cart.

Not bringing much at all as it turns out. Was going to bring a ref phono, but I don’t have one ATM and Dave's is somewhere in a pile of boxes as part of his move to the shop. If I finish it tonight, will bring the mosfet amp I am working on, won't have space to fit the P6 mosfets in the car with anything else. Will bring the DocMod speakers. If its working will bring a simpler phono I built a few years ago for comparisons and/or laughter.

I will be bringing a modified WAD pre2 and psu and the 2A3 mule power amp that I had off Neal earlier in the year.
Hoping that one or two of the more experienced of you can help me work out the valve configuration, would be nice to get it running again.

The doped and modified DL8s that I've done sound bestest being driven by a Denon SS amp (IMO), I'll bring it just in case some of the Valve amps cant drive them to full effect. In total contrast, the FE167s sound bestest (IMO) on a sweet 2A3 SET amp.

S'funny ol' game innit :)

Status Quo did a song about that I think.

Better bring some music ... got the record box ready. Some 'Difficult listening' discs :!:
Otherwise I think I'll just bring the 'holiday' system with the FE103e towers and the chip amp. Nick's DAC too.
Nick, I have your Jaco DVD in the bag.

Sorry Steve, some last minute changes. Gary will not be coming, so I'll be in my car, which means I can inflict my system on y'all, if I can get it all in!

It a shame I was looking forward to hearing Gaz's amp with the expensive valves in it
Was going to bring my 300a's to compare them..

Never the less be good to hear your latest set up Ali
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
