The Burning Amp Festival- an Audio Happening

[Nelson Pass]

Here's a couple.

And a couple more.

On the second pic...let me guess...

The guy asked Nelson if he will sell the 1000 j-fet beast amp. Nelson said: No, I will sell a bag of J-fets, an empty boards, and you do the knitty-knit yourself

Finally, I got Nelson at cheating.
Right at the crime scene.
C'mon Papa, that is not fair. Those speakers just could not sound as good as they did. I absolutely knew it. Here it is for everyone to see... There was a guy singing all the time behind the speaker. Yea right... open baffle... class A... SIT... just one guy working very hard, he must lost his voice at the end of the day...

 

[Vix]

I think that the guy behind the Slot Loaded OB was just making sure that there no lady (with a magic voice) behind them , he found just a just a passive crossover instead

While Nelson had to crawl under the Coax just to prove that there's no invisible subwoofer

Papa checking to see if they have enough power available to run the amps? Maybe playing hide and seek with ZM?

Mlise - about found items, especially balck satchel. It is ok to contact me by email or phone at the numbers shown on the business card attached to the handle. That's my work addy.

Can anyone comment of the turntable on post 2277? What kind of tone arm is that?

How about the Slot Loaded Open baffles sound? How was the low end?

BAF 2011 looked like a blast! Super cool!

Life is hard. For the SerboCroatian speaking crowd... Amerika - Chemerika...

 

[AR2]

Absolutely love face expressions on these images... Nelsons particularly.

Choky and Jocco at my place. We had a blast together. Great evening with BBQ and spirits.

 

[AR2]

Yes, yes, these two guys...

I think ZM is just taking a break to reflect and savor the moment. Travel to USA (on plane with spare parts hanging off its wing), body search by TSA agent, all of the fantastic things at BAF, meeting soooooo many big brains of audio world, and of course "the kiss"........

You are actually pretty close... What you are seeing is Nelson answering my noob questions as I get my head around building an Aleph J with power Jfets. Which he just gave me, and are actually in my hand in that photo!

Perhaps you can bring it to next years show - and maybe Papa will autograph it somewhere on the Jfets...........

Errrrrr - I hate to ask this - but how much do you know about Electro Static Discharge (ESD) and MOS devices????

Don't mind me toooooo much - I'm juz a cranky old QC guy.......

Vince,
It belong to fellow member Dtut. We share the same table during BAF. Actually this turntable sounds better then I expected. It was built from a Pioneer turntable. I believe Dtut can offer more information about this turntable.

SL also competes

Vix - those are Bill Berndt's speakers (storebought, I think) ping him about them.

 

[Variac]

That's berndt's speaker. The guy who made the copper platter DIY turntable and was a great volunteer organizer..
TAD woofer, Beyma horn driver and a waveguide. Not made by him but by some DIYer I believe
