Hopefully 5/19 fits for all interested. I'm going to reach out to Ed (low.pfile) to see if he'd like to attend.

OK!

A new date of May 26th has been proposed. Please let me know how that works for eveyone.

Hey Bob,

Unfortunately that date won't work for me. I'm not sure that day will work for many because that's the three day Memorial Day weekend. Just thought I'd mention that to you if you happen to miss that fact.

If the majority can make it on that day that's great! I can always catch up with you at another time.

Cheers,
Tracy

Bugger!

Good point about the 3-day weekend.

I'll throw out Saturday, June 2nd.

If I have to, I guess I could have one on May 12th AND one on May 19th. ; )

New Date = Saturday, June 2nd.

If you can't make that date and you want some time with the system, let me know.

I ordered a Sanders Magtech amp for my system so we can compare that.

I also purchased a copy of Audirvana to compare against Pure Music.

How do they sound?

vintagebob · « **Reply #29 on:** 13 May 2012, 08:13 pm »

I just have a single Sanders Magtech in Stereo that gives me 900watts per channel at the 4 ohms of the SoundScape 10s.

I was surprised at the noticable improvement over the DNA250. The soundstage is bigger and both the bottom end and top end are much better defined. Nikkie is a bass head like you and Kirk and she noticed the bass improvement right away but she also noticed the clearer top end. The imaging is also better defined with the larger soundstage.

A very nice upgrade! Kudos to Sanders!

Nice! Looking forward to the comparison during our visit.

Where did you get the wood block?

I'll be there!

My wife had to head out of town at the last minute so I need to take care of my 3yr old for the weekend. I'd still like to attend as long as no one minds him coming along.

vintagebob · « **Reply #36 on:** 2 Jun 2012, 03:28 am »

I don't mind if you bring a young audio guy with you but you should know that my place is not child proof in any way.

kc8apf · « **Reply #37 on:** 2 Jun 2012, 04:19 am »

Thanks for the warning. Our house isn't childproof either but he's never been one to touch, poke, or chew on things.

Thanks for having us over. It was great to hear all the different amps on the HT2-TLs. I can't wait to order SCSTs to use with my AVA FetValve 400R now. The Sanders amp is tempting but not different enough to displace the 400R.

Hey Bob,

Thank you for having me over. It was great to meet veryone and chat about their set ups. Pretty amazing gathering of cool equipment and even cooler people. The wine and snacks werent too shabby either. Hope to see you all again.
