Ottawa DIY winter 2014

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Some how I missed this the first time.

 

[Redshift187]

Wow that's flat!

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Like my head.

But I poop out at 15 khz. Nothing above.

And I used good ear phones. You did to if you used the ones you brought on the weekend.

 

[Redshift187]

I don't have those back yet, I'll try again with those, but I used some supposedly very flat IEMs.

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

That's the type I used.

In Ear Monitors.

Pretty effective.

 

[DDF]

Wished I could have been there but got back to town Sunday morning at 4am (but with a big smile on my face).

Owen, can you please provide details on the uber amp? Looks like a pile of National parts cunningly arranged to melt voice coils and savage spiders.

PS Mark, you know what they say about a guy that needs big speakers...

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Hey, That's a little below the belt...

Ooops

I have a small car.

Missed you master Dalfarra.

THe tunes were interesting.

The dynamics were just short of real.

Fun time spent by all.

Definitely worth the effort.

Hey, nobody has posted anything about the sound?

What gives?

 

[MrSlim]

Mark, Procrastination gets the better of me sometimes...

Your speakers are amongst the best I have ever heard. They have this effortless quality about them, I guess in part due to their super efficiency. The music was just "There"...

Congratulations..

I truly hope they get the attention they deserve.

Happy Thanksgiving! It's planning time!

Hi everyone I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving weekend.
While you are relaxing after dinner, give some thought to when we should meet to plan our 2015 event. I'm currently available any weekend in November, would like to meet before December if possible.

Those who need a social outing with like-minded individuals sooner can check out the Ottawa Vintage Radio Club (OVRC) auction on Sunday Oct 25:

The November weekends are starting to fill up with social events. I am positive I can sneak out for a couple of hours to shoot the breeze.

[Kravchenko_Audio]

I'm in for when ever.

 

[bearberry]

Good to hear from you guys!
May have to send out some emails to stir things up.
If anyone is interested in showing off projects underway, I can book the lab at Artengine - a good sized room with folding table and chairs. Can demo the laser cutter for people at the same time. No fee, as I'm a member. Can bring food in.

Just drove back from Denver.

Had an interesting show over there.

And some pretty impressive tunes.

Nathan Funk (Funk Audio)

Some dude. (But a happy dude)

 

[bearberry]

Long drive! Hope you get a chance to relax and recharge.
I'll have to check out some of the show threads.

 

[Redshift187]

I'm in any time.

Meeting location choices

I sent out PMs to 22 members who I could tell were from the Ottawa area, so we should have a few more checking in soon.
The lab space at Artengine is open most weekends and evenings in November, from what I can tell now. Wednesday and Thursday nights are however booked. The benefit of using the lab is that people can bring projects to set up and discuss, and there are workbenches, soldering stations, and even an oscilloscope if people want to work on anything. Artengine is in the Arts Court building, across Nicholas from Rideau Centre.

So what do you prefer?
a) Art Engine weeknight
b) Art Engine Sunday
c) a restaurant/pub lunch

John

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Parking might be easier in a restaurant/pub.

 

[bearberry]

There's parking around, but may have to pay. Bigger issue is probably traffic getting into that area in the early evening. Unless people want to bring stuff to show or work on, it would be easier to meet elsewhere.
