Tuan is coming over so I thought I would invite the norcal followers as well.
12~4 or there abouts, pm me for directions. I can pick up at the bart station, or it is just a short walk.
I got a new exemplar pre amp that I like, and of course the Audio Kinesis Jazz Modules.
See you then, Bill

Great...
I'll also bring some DIY cables to see how you guys like them...
Oh, and a phono pre-amp (musical surroundings phenonena or Diva audio virtuoso).

Yes I am good for Sunday.
Me and ....

Quote

* KAB Technics SL1210 MK5se with:
-Tonearm Fluid Damper
-Cardas tonearm rewire with add-on RCA Phono Plate
* Audio Technica AT150MLX MM cartridge
* SDS Isoplatmat + Herbie's Way Excellent II mat

With the KAB Technics I plan to bring my mis-match cables too -- cause that is what I use (Ven haus cryo pulsar silver and Audio Art Cable IC-3-- I swapout the VenHaus' with my DAC so I really need to get a matched pair for my Phono-Pre)

Also bringing the Graham Slee Gram Amp2 phono preamp if anyone is interested. So Sonny's gear will allow a comparison.

Thanks, it should be fun.

Bill

Got nothing that I'm thinking that you guys would like to hear or compare to other audio gear but I will bring a case of Samuel Adams lager if that's okay with you guys.

Cheers

Berndt · « **Reply #10 on:** 6 Feb 2008, 02:06 am »

How much fun is in one case of beer?

I am just the host...

Bill - sorry, been travelin' (in Las Vegas now).

I need to my dear Susie about this one (using weekends to find new house, but I could use a break from that deal about now)....somehow I missed that there was a get-together entirely until now

Or, I knew one was brewing, I just didn't know the date until now.

Let me get back to ya', please...

No worries John, I know you have a tough time breaking free.
We'll be thinking of you though.

Berndt · « **Reply #13 on:** 8 Feb 2008, 02:19 am »

I forgot to ask you people to bring your vinyl.
Doesn't need to be "audiophile" stuff, punk, metal, you name it welcome.

TheChairGuy · « **Reply #14 on:** 10 Feb 2008, 02:18 am »

I'm a no show tomorrow.....we'll be house hunting tomorrow

Enjoy - John

Sonny · « **Reply #15 on:** 10 Feb 2008, 03:19 am »

Bill, can you pm me your addy?
Thanks

Berndt · « **Reply #16 on:** 11 Feb 2008, 01:56 am »

That was really fun, thanks guys for the participation.
The kab/technics and graham slee phono stage was the belle of the ball.
I was surprised to hear the jolidas aquite themselves against the Ben~gineer 40 watt monoblocks.
The lowered powered amps had a smoother midrange but the 200w jolidas had more grunt.
Glad to finish out with some megadeth/pantera/buzzcocks.
I don't think you could break these speakers.
Look forward to the pics and others comments...

Yes Bill, that was a good gathering...
Good to meet everyone...
Ben, Ed, Kurt, Charles and....

Those speakers are great!
Very very detailed I say...but it needed my cables!

The Technics table was really good, never heard one that good, a Technics...thanks Ed, and yes, I've got to get that Muddy LP now...thanks a lot!

Bill again, another great gathering...

Next time, March, lets have it here, my place, unless others want to host!
