I think Chris linked to one of their amps and has been suitability impressed. |

I think Chris linked to one of their amps and has been suitability impressed. Yup, I've been banging their drum for a while now but I don't think anyone has bought one. I'd genuinely put my MP-701 MKII preamp up against pretty much anything south of 2k and expect it to hold it's own . . . . and that has an alps pot . . . Understandable as they aren't really a particularly established brand (although they are gathering momentum). No reason to think this device wouldn't have a positive effect. However I'm more than happy with the Mutec at the moment . . . otherwise I probably would have given it a try to be fair. Probably works best with their own tube DAC's but might do some good if you have a device with a world clock input too. |

Interesting piece here on I2S interface and then on external master clocks from 10.20 (not reclockers).

How are the membership feeling towards a possible meet, spring/early summer 2022? Before folks go on holiday etc? A little gathering for anyone who wants to come. Obviously a suitable venue would have to be acquired. Just musing at the moment but hey, why not! |

Let us know any thoughts/updates. |

As I say, just musing at the moment but certainly will look at it if there is sufficient interest. |

I'm interested but will be out of country for a bit next year around that time, so it depends on how things get sorted timing-wise. |

Ok, well I suppose it's probably wise to get a decent idea of where and what is available, and when. Middle of the country makes it easier for folks to attend from a wider area Ok I'll have a look |

I keep hoping the motel near me where we held MiBO back in 2017 will re-open.
It was ideal as it had big function room, lots of on-site parking, bedrooms for anyone wanting to stay overnight, food service and a bar. It was all very inexpensive plus they gave us discounts.
Before the pandemic someone was doing some building work on it, but nothing seems to have happened since.
No doubt I will go past it one day and it will be gone and they will be building lots of tiny houses on the plot. What can you do?
There's other places available but they don't tick all the boxes like that one did.
