2018 Ottawa and Environs DIY Audio Get Together

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Survivors of course. For me it's getting together for lunch.

I like lunch.

Wendy's has a taco salad which goes well with a baked potato and sour cream. Add a chocolate frosty for desert and Bob's your uncle !!!

Baconaaator


And a Cesar salad.

I sent PM's to Dave, John and maybe a few extras to jog their memories.

 

[DDF]

John, thanks for the nudge. I'm game for lunch and whatever comes next. Nothing to share this year (months of renos) but I'd be game for a demo of Pierre's fancy new electronics test kit (assuming he pulled the pin?).

So which weekend is gentlemen?

 

[PierreQuiRoule]

This Sunday 10 Feb or weekend 16-17 work for me. Noon ok? Or later in March.

If we do this at East Side Mario's or nearby I offer afterwards a listening session at my place. I adjusted the speakers crossover some more, and added a sub. Also happy to have lunch in Perth, in which case I can host some other time.

Hi Dave - Yes the analyzer is up and running. I could do a presentation on my experience writing software (Matlab) for the thing. (at our get together, not after lunch). Need a projector though. I find the potential for creating a poor-man's Audio Precision hard to resist.

Any time is fine and East Sides is great.

I got as far as the "added a sub" line and started laughing. It was really good sound before a sub.

I'm interested in the listen after if there is room.

Grant.

anytime is fine for me

 

[DDF]

Thanks Pierre, looking forward to it. I've reinvigorated a 10+ year old ESI Julia and RMAA to the cause but its just not the same.

I could make Sunday Feb 10 till ~1:30, and maybe 16 or 17 weekend as well. Mar is no good for me till later in the month

 

[DDF]

PS soldier on but take pictures if my availability time is inconvenient

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

So Sunday at 1:30PM?

 

[PierreQuiRoule]

I read Dave's post as meaning he is available before 1:30.
Perhaps we could do something like bagels and coffee, 11:30 to 13:30 at my place?

 

[DDF]

Hi Pierre, hoping to not change anyone's plans and will attend whatever you guys decide if I'm in town (that's why 16th-17 is up in the air for me), but yes this Sunday I'm available till ~1:30 PM only (but could still attend a lunch anywhere etc)

 

[PierreQuiRoule]

We are all very collegial... Time for a decision though.
I vote for this Sunday 1130. Place TBD between:

A- lunch in Perth
B- lunch at East Side Mario
C- lunch at East Side Mario followed by listening session chez Pierre (all invited)
D- coffee and bagel etc chez Pierre.

I will happily follow the group and won't be offended at all if A or B are preferred (less cleanup ).
Please express your preference!

[multisync]

sunday it is the usual location?

 

[multisync]

for some reason I didnt see some of the posts B C D is fine. Im old but flexible

 

[DDF]

Live from the NAC (Beethoven)... B-D Ok for me.

Pierre showing why he makes the big bucks, thanks Pierre!

 

[Pilover2000]

Mark. PM sent. <eom>

[Felix A]

Hi, If D ends up the preferred choice, I would certainly like to go. Also over for the event, I have a nice EL 84 set amp that I build this fall.

 

[PierreQuiRoule]

All are very welcome to join, Felix. Option D is an open house.

Looking forward to hearing more about your EL84. One of the most musical amps I ever heard was an Audio Note EL84. the 3Dness blows my mind away every time I hear it.

I am reluctant to post my home address here, so if D is the preference, I can PM those interested.
