The van is packed and fueled up. Time for a road trip!

Depart today for Dallas TX. Hope to be there Wednesday for getting the room for the LSAF2023 show. Setup on Thursday.

Hope to see folks there for some music listening to the Magnetar II speaker system with the Danville Signal dspNexus 2x8 DSP processor, Orchard Audio Starkrimson Monoblock amps, and 3x12 OB H-Frame GR-Research servo subs with the Rythmik Audio A370XLR3 servo amps.

The system sounded really good before pack-up!

What would be the cost to freight (in whatever way) your stuff to Dallas and drive a normal car (faster and more comfortable) versus driving slow in a van?

No idea and I do not trust most shipping services to get things there working.

Get some BBQ there so you'll have something to compare.

I got BBQ brisket from Buc-ees for lunch. Really good, but too much spicy sauce.

I want to find wet chopped brisket, no BBQ sauce. No hot peppers or maple as food allergies suck.

Made it to the LSAF hotel and loaded the gear in the room.

Already met Mike Lundy doing his load-in.

Since CAF is 90 miles from my house, that is very likely to happen.

That Southwest Audio Fest will be back in Dallas.

Day 0 setup day at LSAF on Thrusday. System is up and running. Day 1 is Friday and ready for some listening starting at 10AM.

Qobuz is running for requests. Hope to see folks here for some listening!

Last time I saw this system, you had a room too big for it. How's the normal room treating you?
