Gathering at my place on July 29th

zybar · « **on:** 14 Jul 2007, 12:44 am »

The wife and kids will be away in California so this is the perfect time to have some people over.

I can have multiple systems going with my current gear, plus whatever people want to bring over.

My main system consists of the following:

Vandersteen 5A's
Response Audio Bella Extreme 100's
Bolder Cable modified SB2 (full analog mods + gold Bybees) + Ultimate II PS
Burson Buffer (stock)
VH Audio Spectrum CU ic's
Gregg Straley Reality speaker cables
Black Sand Silver Ref MK V and Statement PC's
Running Springs Audio Haley conditioner
CI Audio XDC-2

The second system in the basement will be the following:

Omega Revolutions speakers (you can read about them here: http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=41421.0)
McAlister PP150 amp
Bolder Cable modified SB2 + modified Elpac PS
VH Audio Pulsars or Electra Cable IC's
Sonoran Desert Plateau speaker cable

I also hope to have a working full blown HT (front pj based - details TBD) - also in the basement.

There is also my family room HT that consists of AV123 X-ls, X-cs, and X-subs.

Lastly, there also might be a few surprises if some things pan out...

George,

I may be able to make this party as I'm off that day. I've got to hear those Vandersteens before you sell them. You know what I've got if you want me to bring any equipment. I was thinking of bringing my Transporter to compare to your Modded SB2. Other than that, I'll bring some beer/food. Let me know what you need.

Hope you make it up Joe.

The 5A's aren't going anywhere...

George, barring any last minute emergencies, I should be able to make it. I am not too far from you. Looking forward to it. I'd be happy to bring some beer food as well.

If there's any interest in hearing/not hearing the Prometheus TVC, let me know and I'll bring it.

George,

I should be able to make it and it would be nice to meet some other audiophiles in the New England area. I'll give you a 1 week notice once I know for sure. I will bring some food and beer if I show up.

Best,

John

I am just outside of Boston.

I can PM you the town.

Ok gang, only four people have responded so far, let's try and get a bigger turnout.

I have Wayne from Bolder Cable sending me a bunch of goodies:

Statement SB3
Modded Burson Buffer
BOLDER/Bent/Burson control center

I am also trying to get another vendor (with a very active Circle here on AC) to donate some gear and/or show up in person - I hope to be able to post something on this front very soon.

Stay tuned for more updates...

George

Sounds great! I'm just up the road in S. New Hampshire. I hope this comes off. I'd really like to hear the Bolder cables.

Where's that Beemer dude? Paul, can you make it?

Hi Dan:

Unfortunately I'm tied up the 29th. How goes it with you? Did you move the 10t's to the HT system? I've been having way too much fun with the pipedreams, and some piles of vintage pieces that landed here.

Best,

Paul

MarkM · « **Reply #12 on:** 21 Jul 2007, 04:53 pm »

George, I would like to attend the meet, please send me directions. Mark

Dan_ed · « **Reply #13 on:** 21 Jul 2007, 10:46 pm »

HI Paul,

Yep, the 10t's are upstairs in the HT and probably will never leave. The Acapellas may join them if I can't sell 'em.

I wanted to make the meet last month but was out of town.

I've moved on too. Just finished building these last month.

Nice horns Dan!

I'm glad to see the BAT CD player still with you. That's a tough piece to get rid of, it still sounds as good as anything newer.

Let me know if you are going to be around my way at any time.........you may get a kick out of things in the livingroom these days.
I have Pipedreams Reference 18's.........line arrays do it for me. Since they arrived my system hasn't changed at all on almost a year.
New world record for me.....I am happy, happy, happy!

Best,

Paul

We are still on for next Sunday and it looks like Vinnie from Red Wine Audio will be making it over and bringing his Sig 30 with him.

I'll post more info later today.

My address will be sent out via PM as I don't want it posted publicly for obvious reasons.

George

rayd · « **Reply #16 on:** 22 Jul 2007, 03:17 pm »

Excellent George! Please PM me with directions when you have a chance - I'll be coming via 495 south. I have NAV in the car but directions always help!

Thanks,

- Ray

George,

If you can give us an idea of what everyone is bringing in the way of snacks and beverages that would help some of us fill in the gaps.

Looking forward to it!

Dan
