I read that K Shep is already planning to bring his CJ tubed preamp. I have a Blue circle tubed preamp I could also bring. I would be very interested in the comparisons to the CJ and Bob's AVA SS preamp. Maybe we could do a single-blind preamp test

The more the merrier, unless my CJ doesn't perform then I am jumping out the window!

Good thing Bob's house is at ground level.

ditto for my BC gear

hopefully, it'll be a matter of taste, not "performance" per se

Or you may going home with AVA, I may be going home with BC and vintage may end up with a CJ preamp.

Hey guys, any idea of when we'll kick things off on Saturday? My wife and I are going to stay in the City that night and go catch dinner and see whoever is playing Yoshi's that night and just want to plan accordingly.

We don't have a time yet. What works for you?

My preference would be late morning/early afternoon, but whatever works out for the group.

I don't know the exact time of the show, but we'll want dinner first so I am guessing we'll need to get up to the City by early evening.

I'll split the difference with you and suggest 12:00 as the time. Let me know if this a problem for anyone that wants to attend.

I certainly "wish" I could come, but it is a bit far.

Sounds like fun.

It would be great to have you here again! You'll have to organize something in your neck of the woods.

Hi everyone - I just sent PM to vintagebob. I stumbled across this thread and think it's a great idea to have a Bay Area get together. You might also think about putting a link to this thread in the Norcal circle so that a wider audience hears about this.
Thanks,
---Gary

If there is room, I'd love to come!
Please let me know!

Ha, I actually would like to bring them, a side-by-side with the HT2's would very interesting.

Unfortunately I think I am going to have to leave the gear at home. We are going to stay in the City that night, and leaving the gear in the car overnight does not seem like a good idea.

BTW, my wife is going to be with me, anyone else bringing their better half?

I wouldn't want my gear left in my car overnight.

I'll ask my GF if she wants to join us...

If I am going to be the only one, I might see if she wants to go to a movie or something. That should win me some points
