I'll be hosting a get together in the near future, maybe this evening if time allows. Guest will be Werd who I found out also lives in Saskatoon. There are a few more audiophiles in the city whom I lost contact with. Perhaps some how we can establish a club.

The agenda I have planned:
-Multi-channel sacd demonstration featuring Allman Bros., Fillmore East, 3 tracks, and Shania Twain Up album, 4 tracks, which is one of the best sacd recordings I've come across.
- Multi-channel DSP stereo, camparing the BCD-1 with Yamaha Enhancer to the above mentioned sacd tracks.
- Then a demonstration that my system can play all genre's equally well.
- Then a multi-channel DTS recording, featuring Porcupine Tree, Arriving Somewhere, but Not Here and time permitting a few tracks from Peter Gabriel, Growing Up

All this of course powered with Bryston amps.

Sometime later, time permitting, hopefully I'll have a chance to hear Werd's system. Who has even better equipment. Should be fun.

hey, maybe I will bring my new 7bsst2 down from Prince Albert, on second thought, that would be too much work, but I would like to attend if the wife permits me

Your more than welcome, I'm not sure if it's a go with Werd. I don't have a lot of room, but I think I can make room for one more chair.

7bsst2 sounds great, with my mess of wires may not be a good idea.

Let me know thanks.

 It ain't happening, WF I guess. I've had an easier time organizing a hockey team. Hockey players know the game comes first, then family.

The Saskatoon Rave has come and gone as Werd and I were able to arrange a listening session on Sunday afternoon.

There was nothing in the way of food except for S'toon's Gold medal award tasting beer, Great Western premium. Sorry, no photos.

After the multi-channel demonstration of stereo, sacd and dts. I don't know if I convinced Werd to take up the MC crusade. One thing is for sure he found out how Bryston amps perform at concert levels of 95 to 100 db.
 
Werd definitely is an audiophile. He can tell if speakers are out of phase or thermal compression. Things like that that I wouldn't know if I was hearing it or not, as long as it sounds good.

Hopefully I'll get a to hear Werd's 4b sst/2 in the near future. I'm also curious to hear the difference that a good pre-amp makes to the sound.

Yes it was a very enjoyable time. It is amazing how Mag has orchestrated 10 speakers in that room. I really like the paradigm 100, very nice straight forward speaker.  Love the porcupine Tree, sounded great!!!
