Would like spot in the Tesla room
I am planning on bringing a large, "modular" 3-way active loudspeaker that I am currently building. Judging from your descriptions of the various rooms, it looks like this would best fit in to the Tesla room.
Will reservations for spots in the room be formalized at some point???

I have just started building amps and really don't have anything to bring other than my time to help with whatever you need help with (I am sure you don't need to look at another Tubelab SimpleSE...).
It would be great to be a part of it in some way or other, or just as a paying visitor; although I understand that's not really what this is all about.
Let me know if you need any help and what kind. I am local (OAK). Also, I don't see the event on the Fort Mason calendar for October 1st this year? Maybe it is a secret location.....? All links point to last year's info.
Anyway, that's my offer so I can get in on the fun. Just PM me.

This is a very generous offer, but I moved it to here because I want to keep the first posts about room assignments..
Well, I've never HEARD a Tubelab Simple SE. If yours is functional tell me and I'll assign you to a room. what output transformers are you using?
We certainly need help. We'll be having a barbeque get-together for volunteers soon to get everyone on the same page..
Mark
Hi Mark: As noted, I'm in for volunteering (looks like I'm already on the list), and I can bring my 300B TubeLab SE and/or my Poindexter EL34 MM monoblocks and/or a pair of Fostex 207e Half Changs.
I brought the MM monoblocks last year but one had a bias circuit problem and never made it to the audition......
The volunteer BBQ will be too far of a drive for me...............................

Well its the first time we've been on a Saturday. Other years it was a Sunday. I'm excited about that! But to answer your question, we start packing up at 7PM. By then the excitement has usually died down, but this year we'll have BEER again, so people may well stick around. We have to be out by 8..
It's functional and uses UBT-2 OPT's with 4/8 Ohm speaker option. I'll ask the current owner if he would give it up for a day (or just build another one before Oct. 1st....
)

I may also be able to bring my 300B Tubelab SE with UBT-3 (or Transcendar) OPTs. Finished today on the breadboard, having at least a temporary enclosure by 10/1 should be in the cards. Just let me know if that would be of interest.
