Meeting at my place

electricbear · « **on:** 13 Mar 2007, 03:21 pm »

Just a heads up that I will have a get together at my place towards the end of April, either the 21st or 28th. Check your calendars and let me know what works best for everyone. Like last time, I will cook up a couple of curries and there will be plenty of refreshments on hand.

Cool!
Mind if I intrude?

No problems, it won't be an intrusion.

Keep us posted - I'll try to drop out.

You going to be able to make it out to my place on the 24th?

Be careful Bryan!
I 'dropped out' years ago, and look how I turned out!

Damn, hate it when that happens! Meant 'drop OVER'. I stopped 'dropping' a long time ago.

I should be able to make it as far as I know providing there is still room.

Hi Tim,

I'd love to be there as well. I have a concert on the 21st, so if it's then I'll have to pop out(sounds funny?) late. So far I'm good for the 28th.

Thanks,
Adrian

I'd like to drop in if you still have room, Tim. 21st works better for me. I could stay a little while on the 28th. Thanks for the invite.

All week?! I'm not sure I can afford that much scotch. Even if I slum and buy Glenlivet.

" Glenlivet" why don't you just drink Dawn dish soap. It tastes about the same

I will have available the 15 yr Glen Fiddich and 12 yr Maccallans and a 12 yr Laphroaig. Just for you I'll make sure there is some Glenlivet.

Actually I'm a new convert to scotch. Haven't tried the Laphroaig but I tried the Maccallans and preferred the Glenlivet. Are you sure you are not tasting with your wallet?

Just wanted to pipe in and say thanks to Tim for having us out to his place last night. Good times, good food, good music!

G got to taste a petey scotch.

The Nomad Sentinels were sounding good - especially when we got them a little bit closer to the front wall and the bottom end came up impressively - even in Tim's rather largish room. I think it was Scott's custom speaker stands for the Sentinels that really set them off.

Thanks to everyone who made it out. I had a great time and hope you all did too. I trust that everyone made it home safely. I'll see about posting the pictures when I get to work tomorrow.
Thanks

Hi Guys,

We had another great GAS Bash

Lots of new faces unfortunately I didn't catch everyones name

Here are some pics of the event. Sorry about the quality of a few of them, they turned out a bit cartoonish after I Photoshopped them...oh well.

Food, Drink and Friends

....hey, my lovely wife Laura made it to this event

Thats her in the background helping Tim with the eats.

Here is a wide pic of Tim's system with the Sentinel's making a guest appearance.

Here is a little closer pic with the Sentinel's in the foreground (notice my hi-end Wally World speaker stands).

Here is a pic of the guys listening.

That is Ron in the sweet spot, our newest member John in the foreground, Adrian to the right, Blackmore in the background and one of Tim's friends.

The regulars that showed up for the event were (as best I can remember) Willie, Chris, Ron, Blackmore, Adrian, John (the new guy and our official Recording Engineer), Bryan, Gavin (sorry, I didn't get your pic

), my lovely wife Laura, Tim and his wife, and about three or four of Tim's friends. (sorry if I forgot anybody)

Some more Guest Gear (of the Levinson variety)

Bottom is the Audio Research D150.2 amp, Rotel CD Player and a Sangean HD Tuner

Tim's AR SP-6(?) pre, the affordable and decent sounding MHZS tubed CD player, and the feet of Tim's Denon Turntable.

The Sentinel's sounded really nice on Tim's system (Paul H., I hope you didn't mind that I took them with me). Bryan is right, when we moved them back a little further, the bass and midbass filled in quite nicely

......and yes, Chris (our self-admitted local speaker whore) is trying to figure out a way to sneak them into his house.

The little MHZS tubed CD player sounded pretty darned nice. I didn't ask Tim specifics about it but it sounded like it was an upsampled player. It is built like a tank and sort of reminds me of the looks of a Krell CD/Pre.

Tim's Curry dishes were....well...hot and REALLY HOT. Not only were my mouth and tongue numb but I couldn't feel my lips for almost and hour.

Oh Sturgus, I brought home Willies PP45's (just in case you were looking for them)

Not to derail the latest GAS bash thread but everybody needs to read Adrian's latest post on our GAS Reference Recording.

.....now back to our regularly scheduled programming.....

Tim and the Mrs.,

Thanks for a great evening. It was good to see some of the GAS gang again and to meet some of the new members. Sorry I missed hearing the Sentinels. From the previous postings, seems as though there is another great product on the horizon from Paul.

Ron
