Post by: mcgsxr on 29 Jan 2009, 11:50 am: I have been building a new PC, one strictly for use with my audio system. I have installed it into a 60's Telefunken stereo console.

That and work, and kids have kept me hopping.

I will ping you when I can get out there MarkC.

Post by: markC on 30 Jan 2009, 03:27 am: Hi Pat,
Always interested in checking out another rig. Let me know. Those speaks ought to be settled in by now.

Hey Mark,
Sounds like a cool project. Not something your going to see too often.

Yeah, the circle has been dead quiet for a long time, may be we should organise a meet in the near future. I ordered one of those transformer based "passive preamp" - the Promitheus TVC to be exact. I should receive it in a few weeks time. I can bring it around for you guys to check it out during the next meet. Lets keep our circle alive!

Of course all invited here and I believe one or two of you did show up at one of my past visits to my hometown TO.

Cheers,
Ian

So you understand well the boxing ring jokes :) I missed all that. Just getting a feel if it's worth pursuing, if enough interest then would try and go for a gear/music swap type thing and maybe a few Canadian dealers, manufacturers etc. Low key, very low cost.

Cheers,
Ian

Post by: wafermadness on 11 Feb 2009, 06:19 am: Some of us are still skulking about.
When I "finally" take delivery of my McAlister DAC, I will bring it by your place Mark for a listening session.

I am hoping it is sooner than later.

There "WILL" be a gig eventually, just not in the very near future, hang tight guys. aa

Yes, a misunderstanding, my sense of humour does that often :) I was talking about the ongoing battles at CAM, no reference intended between TAAS and CAM.

Has anyone from here added themselves to the CAM list of 'interested' ? Seems stalled at 25.

Cheers,
Ian

Post by: Spirit on 12 Feb 2009, 04:27 am: Look who's posting - me!! Yes, I am still alive and well, and so surpised to see how many of you are still lurking on the Audiocircle. Maybe there is really some hope to re-starting this thing. I really miss seeing you guys and talking/listening to and about audio. Any interest in having a get together?
I think that the efforts of Mark and Tony should not be wasted!
Remember - I started this thing and we actually had 45 Audiophools at out first meeting.
So what do you think - can we try again?

Post by: Gtasound on 13 Feb 2009, 01:28 am: Nice to see some movement again, would like to see a meet again in the near future.
:D

Post by: lo_tse on 27 Apr 2009, 12:25 am: Hey guys,

What's happening? Summer is almost here. I am really surprise to see the guy who started this circle "resurface" again, this must be a sign!! This circle is going to live!! Let's organise a meet sometime soon.

Post by: markC on 27 Apr 2009, 02:31 am: If only the guy who started this circle would "stay surfaced". We've had a lot of enjoyment at previous meets, so somebody step up and say that they will hold a small meet. I bet it will happen.....
