Houston (Virtue) Audio Meet - Saturday, May 16th
« on: 4 May 2009, 03:03 pm »
Jim "Diffractionbegone" Goulding, Lance and I, along with a few Houston Audio Society members are meeting at my house starting at 1:00 on Saturday, May 16th, to audition Lance's SP Technology Timepiece Mini speakers with the the Virtue Audio Virtue One integrated amp. Sarah Cooke will be bringing her two new Virtue Two amps (red and yellow - wonder if the red one will sound hotter?) and the new Eminent Technology LFT-16 mini monitors she has bought for her office system.  We'll also be comparing the 30V/90W Virtue power supply to the 30V/130W option.

Time permitting we may hear a few other speakers including the Selah Audio Texas Revelator Towers,  but the focus of the meeting is on "affordable but virtuous"  :lol: solid state class T amps driving high quality/ high resolution monitor speakers. 

RSVP's aren't needed - just show up, but please don't bring any other equipment without checking with me first to ensure we don't get into component overload. Sorry, no vinyl - just CD's. All are invited. PM me if you need directions.

Just a reminder, I'll be hosting a small group at my house Saturday starting about 1:00. The group will include Jim "diffractionbegone" Goulding, Jim's friend and Timepiece owner Lance, and Sarah Cooke, the Houston Audio Society's most enthusiastic planar and electrostat fan.
 :hyper:   :bounce:   :rock:
We'll focus on two speakers, the SP Technology Timepiece Mini's and the Eminent Technology LF-16's. We'll also hear the Virtue Audio Virtue Two and Virtue One class T amps, using both the 30V/90W and the 30V/130W power supplies. I'll supply the usual chips, ice cold beer and soft drinks. All are invited to join us. No RSVP needed, just show up anytime after noon. I'm on the west side of Houston off Eldridge Parkway. PM me for directions.

I invited Jesse to be our guest.  He has Daedulus DA-1's like John Z.  Said he would.

Hello, Houston.  I live in Houston now and had no idea of your group.  I'm sorry I missed your audio meet.  Would have loved to joined you guys!   That is, if you don't mind having another audio geek join you.  Perhaps next time?
