Impromtu Get-together in Fort Worth
« on: 2 Aug 2009, 06:42 pm »
A few of us got together on Saturday to enjoy some good tunes, good food, and most important of all, good company.

We started out with an early lunch -- 11:15 am just before the rush hour -- at Joe T Garcia's, a Mexican food institution on the north-side of Fort Worth.  Then, headed to Art's place to hear his always-amazing sounding system, in a wonderfully treated, dedicated audio room.  After that, it was on to David's place. 

David has recently made some changes to his listening room, and we all dropped by to pitch-in our two-peso worth of comments; David's room is really coming together.  The bass notes are much cleaner and the overall-sound has really improved.  Nice work, David.  We concluded our day with a few more glasses of wine before we bid each other adieu.

Below are a few pictures from the impromptu get-together.  We need to do this more frequently.

to David's house we go...


+ David's much improved sounding-room


+ more mug shots


+ another view of David's room; David, your room is going to look/sound great after you're through the process.  It's already well on its way.  Hang in there.


+ a few of David's framed vinyl album covers...

Are those the Alpha's in David's room?  I seem to be picking up on a theme for speakers.  Hopefully next time I can drive in from Abilene.
