Whaddya know!?!

I’m in Corvallis.

I’m going to be in Vancouver, WA this coming week (Monday or Tuesday) to visit my mother who lives in an assisted living facility, and I will be in Vancouver again July 15th. It’s possible I could bring my Model 2 with me and pay you a visit after I finish visiting.

It’s just an idea.

I’ll send you a PM in the morning with my phone number and email address. Off to bed now. I climbed Iron Mountain this morning; soaked in Belknap Springs this afternoon; ate too much afterwards, and drove a total of 4+ hours. My body aches and my brain is shutting down.

Perhaps, your home is next... :thumb:

I do love visiting audiophiles, and inviting them over to my house 🏡.
I really want to visit Jay (CaptainHemo) again, but I don’t know when I’ll be up there again. My wife doesn’t like repeatedly visiting the same locations.  :duh: I might have to do a solo trip.  :thumb:

All this talk about preamps lately I was wondering if you Pacific Northwesterners ever got together to compare the Don Sachs and Supratek preamps. I’m always on the lookout for another great preamp mainly because I’d like to have a remote as my Dodd does not.

Hi, Tommy.

It's a shame you and I live so far apart. I suspect I'd get a big kick out of visiting you.  :thumb:

Naimnut and I haven't managed a visit yet to compare the two preamps even though we're only about 90 minutes apart. There will be a brief window of opportunity again from March till mid-April, and another in July(?) during which I may be able to visit him. My 2020 schedule is pretty full already. It will get even fuller if my master scheduler has her way.  :nono:

I still think it can happen. We just haven't been able to get our schedules to line up. And now I have a new mhdt Orchid DAC to try plus a new Goal Zero battery power supply that really quiets my noise floor a lot. It should be a fascinating comparison

I would love to hear the results of the comparison as I think my Chardonnay is something special.

FRM,

That sounds suspiciously like preamp porn :o :lol: :whip:!

I guess we'd better begin planning this meeting soon....

I should confess one can learn a lot just seeing a under side image.
