I plan on hosting another Rave-type audio party on Saturday, May 21st at my home (Zip is 11758). Doors open at 1 PM.
If any AC members living in the NYC Metro area are interested in attending, please PM me to RSVP by May 15th. Since members from the Audio Syndrome and former NY Rave audio clubs are invited to this meeting, it is essential to determine the number of people attending, to ensure enough food is provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring appetizers, desserts, and beverages.
Special guests include AC Site sponsors "Berto", Rob R. and "Gopher", Fred A., from Lampizator NA. They will be bringing their "top of the line" world-renowned Lampizator Golden Gate DAC.
Another special guest will be AC Site sponsor Vinnie Rossi. Vinnie will be bringing his incredibly innovative Vinnie Rossi LIO – Ultracapacitor-Powered, Integrated Amplifier. Details below-
- LIO Directly Heated Triode Linestage (LIO DHT PRE):
Class-A, OTL, zero-feedback and “convertible” DHT triode linestage allowing for use with 2A3 / 45, 300B, PX4 / PX25, 101D / 205D, and SV811 / SV572 triode families.

As if two systems isn’t enough sonic fun, there will be a third system in the garage (Dahlquist & Polk monitors). That system can be set up outside, weather permitting... or perhaps a 4th system to be set-up - TBD!!!
Once again, please PM me to RSVP & for my home address.
For those who wish to use Mass Transit (Long Island Railroad (LIRR)), the Massapequa train station is less than two miles from the party. Try to arrange a pickup from the station prior to the meeting date with fellow AC members, or as a last resort, inform me to arrange a pickup.
Rave on,
Pete
