Everyone,
I figured it was high time I got off my rear end and posted some details about this meeting.
I am, of course, hosting this month.
Date: Saturday, April 24
Time: 11:00 AM until everyone decides to leave
Place: My house (239 Wetherburn Lane, Raleigh, NC 27615)
Phone: (919) - 870 - 8850 or (919) - 632 - 2569
You can mapquest it for driving directions, or PM me if you would like specific instructions on how to get to my house. I'd be happy to oblige. If you get lost on the day of the meet, just call and I will direct you as best I can.... basic street sign reading skills are a prerequisite though
Beverages will be served. I only have a few Canadian beer left. But Cokes, etc. will be available. If anyone would like something else to drink that isn't on the menu, you're more than welcome to bring it along with you.
Unless I hear of better ideas, pizza will be the grub of choice at this meeting as well. I will likely not order it until there are enough people present. I'm a Wildflower Pizza kind of guy lately. So bring your appetites and tell me now what toppings you want or you will have to suffer with pepperoni, my pizza of choice....
Equipment on display:
Room #1:
Adcom GDV-850 DVD-A player
Bel Canto Pre6, eVo4 & eVo6 run bridged as 3 and 2 channels

Usher Audio X-719, X-718, X-616
IXOS Ixotica and Rapport (Usher) cabling
Room #2:
Consonance SACD 2.0
crappy DVD player
Bel Canto eVo2i & DAC2
Von Schweikert VR-1 and LCR-15
Phase Technology Premier Collection 3.1 MKII
IXOS cabling
I also have the Adcom GTP-860II processor on hand and should have an Adcom multichannel amp if it is back from demo. I'm completely sold out of Carver Pro amps AGAIN (including my demo models) and I'm not sure if my order will make it in time, certainly not in time to break them in prior to the meeting.
I thought we would try the multi channel music thing if anyone is interested. Otherwise, we'll just listen to some tunes and try out all the various combos of gear.
Inscrutible, Have you received your APL modded player yet?? I would like to hear that and it would be a good comparison piece.
Please indicate in this thread if you will be attending or not so that I can get an idea of numbers. Also, please suggest things you would like this meeting to accomplish.
See you all on Saturday!
Shane
