If I can guess which box it is in, I could bring one of these, if anyone is interested?

No idea. He hasn’t posted anything here.
That sounds really interesting.
So, you are driving?
I’m driving to my Dad’s. @Mickyricky has offered me a lift to Settle.
Graeme will be bringing a set of rather nice Rank Conquest monos that he has been fettling for me. I hope to be there for the day on Saturday. I’ll bring my vinyl rig if I make it (SME+Io Gold+ANJ SUT+Allnic Phono stage).
Music wise I thought I might bring a few LPs by The Heads…

I could bring my Revox speakers again, but if anyone else wants to bring some then please shout

At the moment, it’s touch and go as to whether I’m going to be able to make it or not.
If you can get that Sony amp along, I’d definitely be interested in a listen of it. @pmac

Yep. I am a fan boy.
I’ve always heard good things about the VFET designs. Just don’t bust a bollock to take it along, mate.
I’ll have a look for it tomorrow. There are dozens of very similar boxes and most have lost their labels! If I can find it I will bring it along, it’s a sweet sounding thing.

Oh my word…
I’m not sure that the pre is all that good, the 5550 is though.
I used to use mine with an M7

On second thoughts it needs VUs so, only 1 rather than 3…
I could bring my Sony TA-E80ES pre amplifier, not sure how it compares with other stuff.
The likelihood is, it’d explode, but Serge has repaired it before.
