Note Sunday is now 10 AM start rather than 11AM

Great!

I will load my PA tonight, tomorrow after 5pm will drive from San Ramon, to set it up. I will need some help to carry the stuff tomorrow.

 

[Michael Rothacher]

I could use an extra tripod for the show if anyone has one to loan for the day

I could only fit one in my suitcase.

 

[haflyfe]

Michael,

I can bring a Bogen tripod. It is quite sturdy with a fluid head and the usual pan, tilt, and elevation manual controls.

kstlfido feel free to bring your speakers..

Whew - here's what will make it to BA

Solid State - "SiC Puppy Silicon Carbide class A amp, "Le Mutant" Class A amp (all mirrors, no smoke), a version of "Le Fake" Class A amp using BSS159 front end, and maybe a plain vanilla Class AB amp with mosfet outputs.

Vacuum State - "Kingfisher" Class AB P-P amp with Fisher 500B iron, "Miz Piggy" sweep tube class A SE amp

2 preamp setups- one with open loop MM pream, and one witjh feedback based MM preamp (sorry, no LOMC this time)

Sources
Denon DP1100 TT with DL160 high output MC cartridge, Cal Audio Labs CL-15 CD player

Speakers - Tri-trix transmission line speakers

Those with some nice speakers are encouraged to bring them by, as I'd like to hear some of my amps with classier speakers than I've been able to manage so far.

In the spirit of Papa Pass's lashups from previous BAs, the "Le Fake" is all open and screwed to a board - ugly, but nice-sounding,

Ok the last 3 have been added to Friday night. I think we have enough people for then.

Sunday could use some help. Probably the people who want to leave their equipment there Saturday and pick it up on Sunday. Note the hours are 10-1

Of course we'll help load things, just pull up to the curb, then move to the free covered parking after unloading..

 

[Tom V]

2 Pairs of Single Driver Speakers

I will be bringing a newly completed set of Pensil P70.3 speakers, and a five year old pair of FE127E Metronomes.

-Tom-

 

[Variac]

Those will be handy in the smaller rooms. Good Job!
Sounds like BA motivated you!

 

[JonPike]

Nothing like hearing the 5 fwy north of LA is completly blocked both ways by a massive mudslide, the night before your drive up...

Screw it, that ain't stopping me!! Looks like 101 all the way will do the job...

That would be great, Bill. Thank you.

I know it is late - but here is what I hope to bring:
- Brand new Hybrid 6sn7 2sk134/2sj49 POC design built in a DH200 chassis
- 6SN7 + 300B to MOSFET hybrid (250W) in DH500 chassis
- AK4398 DAC + 6SN7 to 2sk1058/2sj162 MOSFET Circlotron PoweDAC in HaflerPro chassis
- Open baffle MTM speakers (and perhaps subwoofers if I have room)
- Assorted DACs and SPDIF (wireless)
Which room should I go to Saturday AM?

Thanks,
Denis

Regarding Friday load in. How do we get in? Is there a meeting place or phone number to call?

 

[Michael Rothacher]

I had a great time. My special thanks to Stuart and Vlad for helping me get Internet. Without them there wouldn't have been a broadcast. They really went the extra mile. Getting up at 4AM has caught up with me, so I think I'm signing off for now. I'll talk to you from The Fortress of Solitude soon.

I just got home with all my junk and got it loaded into the house - forget about sorting it out until tomorrow. I had a great time - thanks to Mark and company for making it happen again.

Here's a view from the Kahng Room with everything set up:

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by for making this a great first burning amp for me. Honored to be neighbors with Nelson Pass and Siegfried Linkwitz.

 

[kstlfido]

Yup! I had a great time, too. Thanks to all for making BAF 2015 happen!

Denis, do you have any pics of your DH500 hybrid? I'm trying to use your design to make my own tube/mosfet hybrid. Thanks!

 

[Variac]

So vilfort, are you the guy who was playing operatic music that I found a room for? I remember coming by your room later and it was empty except for this gorgeous voice of a woman singing. It was sad to have this lovely voice and no one to hear it so I sat there for a while to help out...

What drivers did you use in your speakers? I'm guessing Eton..
