Note the silence now after all the spamming earlier.

Alan, are you up for this?

Name calling is not going to help here.

It is our teasing HFS name for him, I suppose we shouldn't use it here - Firey will do. Though as I showed in Photo in an earlier thread he uses the name himself as a joke promotion. The same as our HFS nickname for Ali, Brian, Gaz et al is the Scottish Hi-Fi Mafia, they call themselves the Scottish Mafia now.

Two certain individuals are on my ignore list, so I am happily ignorant of any shit going down.
I like to mix with friendly and RESPECTFUL individuals, so count me out.

With one or two exceptions this thread has remained civil and I am tempted to ignore all that has gone on before (I do mostly anyway) so opening this up to other forums will kill it guaranteed.
I suggest as its the first one I have hosted we keep it to anyone off this forum who wants to attend (bring a friend or two we have room for 20 at least)
When its over and if we decide we all liked it and enjoyed ourselves we can as Richard has suggested make the next one a DAC bake off or whatever takes our fancy and invite a wider audience.

But that’s the whole point Alan, by having it at a location that is at the least neutral, we should be able to keep it neutral and make it about the kit. Richard has offered to not attend and just send some kit if his presence prevents others from attending. I would personally prefer if that wasn't what happened as getting everybody in one room is more likely than not to result in friendly and RESPECTFUL behaviour.Firebottle wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2017 5:17 pm Two certain individuals are on my ignore list, so I am happily ignorant of any shit going down.

After all the venue, MCRU is not entirely on Richards xmas list at the moment, but it seems to me that Dave and Richard are prepared to give it a go.

Too late there is a thread at AoS.

All good, gets a few more participants to replace the ones that will drop out. I could still do with some numbers as I will ask the pub round the corner to put some grub on all being well.Dr Bunsen Honeydew wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2017 6:09 pmToo late there is a thread at AoS.

#59 Re: Phono bake-off
Well so far the reason for it in my mind has been taken away. The two people / products who have been refusing honest comparison and working with spamming AoS membership on the back of the £50 bribe to Marco, and the shills they create (often against each other) have both refused to participate, using me as the excuse.
It was the earlier thread where Firey started spamming here which drew my reaction that started this, though you should know I have been trying to get this comparison for over two years and have been blocked and even an event sabotaged to stop it. We can see that the process still carries on sadly.
All I will say is don't let them use me as an excuse to avoid reality (even if in their favour). I am still willing not to attend and just supply product if it makes them change their mind, but don't hold your breath, they wont, as I am an excuse, they cannot cope with the possibility of losing.

I applaud your success at planning a event.
A venue, and a date.
Is there a list of Phono Models to be compared ?
Can a MM Phono be brought along if it is to be attached to a SUT ?
