  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

Thanks, Guys!  It's taken a while to get the system to this point.  Started with some Emotiva amp/preamp and B&W 805.  Ten years later, I've been able to make some significant strides in sound quality improvement!  It's been fun, and I've learned so much! 

Happy day!

I live in Woodbury, MN just east of St. Paul.  If you live in the area, you are welcome to come by for a listen.  I have a group of audio friends in the local area and we get together every 3-4 months sometimes more frequent for music, food, drink and sometimes compare gear or do shoot outs.

Welcome to AC,

Larry

Sounds like a good idea!  Let's set it up!

DO any of you guys go to the Audio Society meetings?  Are they worthwhile?

Where in MN do you live?  I am planning a get together some time in April, not sure what weekend yet.  Seadogs, you are welcome as well. 

I have not been able to make any of the MN AS meetings due to my work schedule.  I have a friend that goes to them and enjoys them.

My system Pass X250 amp, BAT VK51se preamp, Luxman DA-06 DAC, Magnepan 1.6 speakers.  Dual subs, Thorens TD 145 TT.

Hibuck,

Hibuck, any time.  Next time I have people over (a bunch of guys from mid 30's to early 60's) I will try and PM you.  We usually get together on a Friday or Saturday early evening.  Drink beer and mixers.  Great Pizza from a local shop that sells true NY pizza.

People bring over some music on  jump drives and occasionally gear such as DAC's and preamps to compare.  I occasionally get some AVA gear that Frank Van Alstine wants me to review and get opinions on.  We have done DAC and usb cable shoot outs. Tested LPS's, Regen, Jitterbug, various IFI gear as one of the guys has a working relationship with them.

I have been to many of the meetings.  I have enjoyed almost all of them.  The topics vary quite a bit which keeps the events fresh.

Yo, Tyler Whats up?  You up for another GTG?  My system has never sounded better since I built a custom dedicated music desk top computer.  Also ordered a LPS for my Regen, should make a nice improvement.

Welcome SounderMN.  I am also from around these parts... Stillwater.

I also attended several MN AS meetings in the past - highly recommended, but this year I have been unable to attend due to schedules.
I have been over to Larrys several time and eaten lots of pizza  :lol: always a great time.
