UPDATE! NEW GEAR ADDED! Crescendo Systems and Rythmik Subwoofers demo on 8/29!

arthurs · « **on:** 11 Aug 2009, 01:37 pm »

Watch here for more specific information over the next couple of days, but wanted to start to get the word out that I'll be hosting a demo on August 29th at my place of Crescendo Systems Amplifiers and Electrostatic Speakers with the low end being delivered by Rythmik Subwoofers. Both Kim Beumer of Crescendo and Brian Ding of Rythmik have graciously agreed to get set up at my place on the 29th, listening positions will be limited and we won't have any second systems set up, so we'll be trying to manage loosely to a schedule for listening set intervals so folks can plan their days, but there will be food (BYOB on alcohol) and the opportunity to hang out downstairs and visit in between turns in the listening seats. If you've had the chance to hear either of these company's products you know this should be a pretty exciting session. If you're interested in getting on the list to attend, please e-mail me at

I've been dying to hear both the Crescendo electrostats and the Rythmik subs so to get both on the same day! Ohhh boy, if it's ok with you I am so there!

Art,
I think designating a schedule/time slot is a great idea, that way everyone gets to spend some quality time giving these a serious listen. I'm really excited about those big ass electrostats!

Geo - Signature models, sealed, but we haven't landed on the 12" or 15" yet....(I'm voting for 15 or both!)

arthurs · « **Reply #6 on:** 12 Aug 2009, 02:12 am »

Can't forget to mention we'll also have the new KCI Silkworm+ and Silkworm SE with Xhadow connectors and other upgraded changes. they'll be both in the system and on display...

This is getting sweeter by the minute! Those platforms are fantastic, I'm lucky enough to have a few demo units in my system right now and they are something else! I haven't had the chance to lay my hands on one of the Uberbuss conditioners but now I will-sweet. aa

Well Art, even though you have some of the newest Silkworms if you would like me to bring some of the new Silkworm+ cables so yours don't have to be removed from your system I'd be happy to do that. Power cords?? Just let me know and I'll throw some in the truck and head on up.

John

Edit: Well Art, your post wasn't there when I started typing this, guess I'm a slow typer! lol.

John,

Can you swing by RC to give me a ride on your way to Art's?

KCI-JohnP · « **Reply #9 on:** 12 Aug 2009, 01:00 pm »

Sure Hugh! Oh, where's RC??

Hugh · « **Reply #10 on:** 12 Aug 2009, 01:27 pm »

I don't think you want to do that since RC (Rancho Cucamonga) is in CA.

They said I was old enough, but needed "Hugh Money" to qualify, and I did not have it.

NO MORE THREAD HIJACKING! and that goes for me as well....

Art or Danny,
Do you know off hand how many outlets that Uberbuss has? What is the current limit on that baby? Thanks.

John

John,

While I am neither Art or Danny, I can tell you that the Uber Buss has four outlets (just like the Majik Buss).

As for the current limit...I thought it was such a silly high number that it basically wouldn't limit current for all practical applications.

Regardless, I know that it improves the sound of my system and I am using an honest 13-15 amps from the wall. Certainly no current or dynamic limiting going on here.

Hi George,

Great, thank you for the info. I'm also glad to hear that you are impressed with it, that's good news!

I hope you're doing well and let me know if you ever need another cable/s, I'm here for ya! lol.

Best,
John

Ok here is my annual dumb question

And if I am retracing old ground I am sorry. If you need more than four outlets (I do). Can you plug two Majik BUSS's into the same house circuit or even the same outlet using both plugs? Also if you wanted to get the 20A Versions just to make sure you were covered or had head room so to speak how would that play if you you were using two on the same house circuit or same outlet using both plugs? I hope this question isn't to elementary but my electrical knowledge is not what I would like it to be.
Kind Regards,
Guy

I am impressed enough to purchase the Uber Buss - it isn't going back.

I am doing well John, thanks for asking - hope you are as well.
