Feb. 23rd Cabin Fever Gathering in south county

daves · « **on:** 8 Feb 2013, 12:51 am »

We have set our next Cabin Fever gathering for Saturday, Feb. 23, starting at 2 pm. We will have a crockpot of chili to warm folks up, and we would invite attendees to bring a dish, snacks, or other tasties and beverages to suit. I have been working on regrouping the stereos in the basement, and with the help of a few friends, I think we will have a very interesting set of selections this go-around.

Anchoring the kitchen system will be Willie's new custom tube amp project, driving a set of Altec Model 19s. Liam probably will be helping Willie, as his tastes run more toward jazz at this time.

In the main room, Kent's new Shuguang I12 EL84 based tube integrated will be driving the modded 1963 Klipsch KHorns.

The second system will comprise a McIntosh 1700 receiver with Altec 604Es in Barzilay cabinets.

The third system will feature a Monarchy Audio Stereo 70 Pro amp, Juicy Music preamp, and Fulton speakers.

The back bedroom will be a special treat, as Charlie and Mike from St. Louis Stereo have bespoken a new Leben CS300x EL84 based integrated tube amp, Leben phono preamp, and our Pioneer PL540 turntable with Shure V15v cartride, for the vinyl lovers.

As room is limited, we kindly ask all attendees to RSVP. Parking is available on street within a block of our house, as we must hold one spot in the driveway for unloading, three spots will be taken. I will pm directions on Thursday evening prior to the event.

And we have a big surprise brewing for the spring get together, when the back yard looks like this!

Old guy soccer?

Liam is ready to sign a developmental contract with ManU, Bo. He has his passport and bags packed to leave after the fete.

I would love to be there.

Does old man soccer require walkers?

Either that or a beer in hand. Ultracompetitive jerks will get sprayed!

Hey Dave,
I'll be working with my high school drum line all day on the 23rd, so I'll miss all the fun. I really wanted to hear the Leben again and one of Willie's amps are always cause for celebration. This looks like it will be a great collection of gear. Sorry I can't make it and hope to make the next one.

Hi Dave,

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it. We're headed out of town for a winter get away. Wish I could make it, I'd love to hear Willie's latest creation and the Leben.

Have fun!

You shouldn't leave your new truck to sit idle while you're gone. I'll offer my services of keeping it from becoming stagnate, if you'd like.

You may have to fight my son for the keys

In an effort to drum up early commitments, Scott's son will be auctioning Dad's truck at this event. Early registrants will receive a $500 credit if they book before Thursday.
