Time to have a RAVE with both Lampizator and GTAudio Works (http://www.gtaudioworks.com/). I am planning the RAVE a bit differently this time. My primary system will remain identical initially and later we can start swapping equipment in and out of the setup.
Primary System Located in Basement
Speakers: Zu Audio Druid V (http://www.zuaudio.com/loudspeakers/druid)
Amp: Triode Lab / Finale 2a3 SET (http://www.triodelab.com/2a3-set/) (Sovtek / Shuguang 2a3, RCA/GE/Russian NOS 6sn7/6hc8, 5v4/gz32 rectifier tube)
Amp: Response Audio 3205 Extreme (el34/kt88/kt77/6550 power tubes, 12ax7 and 12at7 as preamp, phase splitter)
Amp: Folsom Audio 7297 (http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=138229.msg1556573#new) DIY amp
Preamp: 4P1L (https://simplepleasuretubeamps.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/radus-implementation-of-the-siberian-4p1l-gen3-designed-by-ale-moglia/) DIY Preamp or Gary Dodd Unity 6H30pi Preamp
DAC: Lampizator Gen4.5 with DSD128 and 384K PCM
PC Audio Receiver: Either a Win10 or Linux system running Signalyst NAA (Network Audio Adapter)
Audio Music Player: Win10 based Signalyst HQPlayer converting everything over to DSD128 (the server has enough juice left to upconvert everything over to DSD256 or potentially DSD512)
CD/SACD - Pioneer Elite DV59ai
The second set of speakers will be in the family room and they are going to be GTAudio Works speakers.
I will let Fred (Gopher) or Rob provide information the Lampizator equipment that they will bring along and Greg @ GTAudio Works about the speakers and equipment that he will be bring.
Even though the event is listed in the Lampizator it is open to everyone. Either send me a pm or post in the thread so I can have a head count.
If you have never been to our house please keep couple of house rules in mind - no alcohol or meat dishes will be served and please take off your shoes (feel free to bring house shoes/sandals). You break the rules I end up in the dog house and no more events :nono:
If you are looking for used CD/Vinyl you might want to stop at Princeton Record Exchange (http://www.prex.com/) which is 10 minutes from the house and close to the Princeton University.

Thanks, D!
I'll see if the LI boys are up for an audio road trip!
Cheers,
Pete
-
Thanks for hosting this event, Deepak! I know well have a great time.
As far as what we will bring, I'll likely bring an Atlantic, as I know that's a piece people are curious about and also a new Amber and likely a Golden Gate. We'll also plan on lugging over a Komputer or two.
Should be a great time. I hope to see many of you there!
Fred

Looking forward to seeing everyone again. I think the LI folks need to rent a big van and car pool :-).
-
Sounds like fun.

Of course!

Mytubes211 is going to bring along his 4P1L based tube amp

-
Funny coincidence. I had virtually no experience with 4P1L tubes until Atlantic, now they will be in the amp and pre as well. It'll be a 4P1L party, I guess! :thumb:

Folks,
Change in plans. Just heard from Greg @ GTAudio Works and he will not be able to attend due to other commitments on Oct. 22nd.
Time to look for another set of speakers if not we will use X-Statik's that I have in the family room.
-
Well since neither GTAudio and I can make it on the 22nd, I have a great idea to move it to another weekend... :)
-
I need to reschedule the RAVE from Oct. 22nd to Nov. 12th. Hopefully folks who were planning to attend can still attend on Nov. 12th.
-
Will GT Audio Works be making the 11/12 date?

Waiting to hear back.

Unfortunately I will not be available for Shadowlights Rave that date either.
My wife is off for teachers convention and we are planning a long weekend.
For those interested in hearing the GTA3R's...I am about 90 min north of Deepaks home.
Please feel free to come over to give a listen anytime, bring your own gear if you like.
My door is always open.

I plan to attend the rave in the 12th.

See you then!
The balanced Atlantic I'm burning in now for the show is sounding really good 3 days in... We should have some killer sound at Deepaks.
-
Totally looking forward to awesome food, groovy sounds and fine conversation. Did we get a confirmation regarding speakers for the show?

Nothing is settled for the 2nd set of speakers. Waiting to hear back from couple of folks.

Fred,
Any pictures of the Atlantic that you are bring. Also, can you bring some balanced cables with you to be on the safe side. All, I have is single ended.
-
Hi Deepak,
I haven't taken a glamour shot of the Atlantic yet, but here is a quickie I found in my google images that was taken in my engineered room, where I use it with our DSD Komputer to drive a pair of Lamm monoblocks.
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=151823)
No problem on balanced cables. I will bring a pair!
Looking forward to the event.
Fred

Here is a quality photo of a balanced Atlantic with the volume control option. Mine has the tube rectification option which this one lacks, but still a much better shot than my own pic.
-
Nice.

I would like to thank Merrill @ Merrilll Audio (http://www.merrillaudio.net/) for letting me borrow his new stereo amp based on Hypex NCore 500 called Taranis (http://www.merrillaudio.net/#/amplifiers/taranis-stereo-power-amplifier?_k=hm6jgf) for the GTG.

Just received email message from Clayton Shaw @ Spatial Audio (http://www.spatialaudio.us/) and he is sending us Hologram M4 Turbo S (http://www.spatialaudio.us/hologram-m3-m4)
Thx Clayton.

So cool!

If you plan to attend and have not responded can you let me know by Nov. 5th so I can ensure that I have correct head count for food and drinks.

Radu makes some nice stuff.

Radu makes some nice stuff.
He sure does. The 4P1L preamp was built by him.
-
That amp too. I just don't love the name "Shiny Eyes".

Contact information sent to everyone who has shown interest in attending. Let me know if I missed anyone.

I didn't realize you were attending. Awesome !!!

Would like to thank Clayton, Lukasz and Merrill along with Fred and Rob for bring / loaning equipment for the event for the 3 rooms that were running day long.
If you have any pictures please post them. I never got around to taking any pictures :duh.
I really enjoyed listening to the Spatial with Thor mono blocks and Lampizator Atlantic DAC with volume control at the end of the day for few minutes. The Spatial's filled up the family room complete which is open to kitchen area.
Should have made a better effort to listen to the Zu's being driven by 211 mono blocks but from some of the comments I over heard from few of the attendees was they sound good after few adjustment with speaker placement.
