Okay after my recent over enthusiasm over clocks I have decided that whatever else I do I am going to be adding my Mutec and Leo Bodnar clock to the rig and see if it can pull a similar trick in that system as it has on my music system . The two way active is a much simpler and less high quality set up than my main system but it is also active via a digital cross over so you never know the effect may well be more profound . At least it will let me get things as I think they sound their best and see if anyone agreed with me . Vital bring your own music and ask me to play it , will need to be a digital file or some thing I already have but as my song count is now over 70000 we should be able to find something most of you will want to listen to .

I'm thinking either:

Option 1

- Yamaha GT-2000 and PF-800 turntables, CDX-1030 CD player
- Yamaha A-960II amplifier
- Yamaha AST-A10 and AST-S1 power amplifier and speaker combo.
- Maybe a few other turntables, too

Option 2

- B&O Beosystem 5000 (the 1980s stack system)
- B&O Beolab Pentas
- Some choice items from my huge collection of B&O memorabilia/collectibles.

Any thoughts on which of the above options people would rather see are welcome!
B&O for this fella, please, Adam.

It is getting very exciting now at what will result from me adding the Mutec and LB clock to my Sara system . The affect on the main system which is passive has been spectacular so just possibly using a system that keeps everything in the digital domain right until the last minute will respond even better . I am still steadfast in my decision to not try this out in advance I want that element of surprise on the day . With this system being less room size demanding than my three way active the rooms at the new venue should suit just got to find a wall to back the speakers on to and then everything will flow from there . I am like a fizzy bottle of pop just waiting for the cap to unscrewed . Are we there yet , Are we there yet .

So, what, does the system consist of:
Very early, unmolested Garrard 401 (replinthed) serial No 1205 (April 63)
Rega R200 (the vinyl source rewired)
4 carts on Rega headshells, A&R P77 Mg, RigB VM95ML, AT OC5, EEI 555MCP
EEI adjustable active headamp OR
Rogers MCP100 battery headamp
QED Discsaver (mm phono)
Technics SL-PG440A
Cambridge Audio C50 & A50
KEF 104ab (with Wilmslow Audio crossovers)
DNM Reson SCs
And hopefully I can get some of my 80s QED interconnects back from my mate, but still have and use the 0.5m Monster cable IC I bought in 87.
UPDATE:
The good news is I've managed to retrieve the balance of my 80s ICs, so now have 1m and 0.5m examples of both QED & Monster ICs.
There's also one addition (Rogers MCP100) and one change to the above kit. I've decided to sell the Marantz CD63SE on, having sourced a replacement Technics SL-PG440A. Which was my original longterm CDP (bought new in Dec 94) which died in 2016 after 22 years of sterling service.

Don't know if I'm coming yet, but if I do I'd bring my 2a3 amp. It would without doubt be the only all-DHT amp in the show. 10Y into 2a3. I've been building versions of this for 12 years and this is the best. The 10Y stage is separate, and can be used as a preamp. The whole amp is in 2 chassis. I'd be coming from W.London so sharing transport would be attractive.

Yes, I remember listening to your set up last year. Could have quite happily sat in your room all day listening. Those speakers sounded bloody great.

Okay I know there's a way to go but since there's no activity in this section whilst we await the kit sheet and pricing. Thought I'd get peeps to put up their current thinking on what kit they're going to bring.
For myself I've decided to make my life easy this time round after 3 shows where I've dragged my main system up country. The plan is to exhibit system 2 which doesn't require a big vehicle to transport or assistance to load up. So, what, does the system consist of:

Very early, unmolested Garrard 401 (replinthed) serial No 1205 (April 63)
Rega R200 (the vinyl source rewired)
4 carts on Rega headshells, A&R P77 Mg, RigB VM95ML, AT OC5, EEI 555MCP
EEI adjustable active headamp
QED Discsaver (mm phono)
Mk1 Marantz CD63SE
Cambridge Audio C50 & A50
KEF 104ab (with Wilmslow Audio crossovers)
DNM Reson SCs
And hopefully I can get some of my 80s QED interconnects back from my mate, but still have and use the 0.5m Monster cable IC I bought in 87.
