My belated thanks to Steve also. Thanks to everyone else for making it such an enjoyable day too. As has been said previously I think, the standard keeps improving and we're starting to split some very fine hairs in some respects.

I took one or two photos which I'll upload when I get a chance.

I would have liked to hear Nick's 2A3 amp, though perhaps it's better for my sanity that I missed it. :lol: I think Nick described them as "just" a couple of bits of wood with a two bench supplies. Really should know better by now.

Here are a few photos now everyone's forgotten all about them :wink:

First up Nick's (in)famous boxed Dave Slagle TVCs and D3a buffer stage preamp.

Steve S now has a rack! And a turntable!! And a speaker selector switch round the back that is too heinous to show!!!

DET25 amp on top with EAR phono, the lovely, lovely 2P amp under. 6EM7 on the table, Nick's pre on the floor in all it's glory, Ed's Squeezbox behind, and Steve's OBs creeping in on the right.

Ed's just-finished Nelson Pass F4 solid state SE amp. I can't see where he's hidden the valves, must be mounted on the back...

And last but by no means least Nick's OBs, and Ian's digital amps either side of Nick's pre on the floor.

It was made simpiler using the winding wire Dave supplied, it would have been a real pain using solid core insulated.
