Is there something I could bring to contribute to the BBQ? Sounds like you might have the protein covered, anything else not spoken for that I could contribute?

your favorite Bourbon or infused Vodka from the Duty Free store would be fine, but don't worry about the craft beer - that's usually covered

Ooh! Now were talking

This could get interesting, hope I can remember what my impressions were the next day.

Cheers!

when the 'fest was earlier, I'd arranged my own advanced life support (wife, critical care RN), on behalf of all whose age is of a certain number.

Still tryin to get Mr. Campbell to come along with me, perhaps with a kilt in tow.

rx ... I would think that you'll be left completely impressionless

chris : as you know, infused vodka is woman's drink. Real men prefer good Scotch Whiskey, straight from the 'ole' country. Most whiskey made in North America really isn't whiskey (I used to work for a distiller in the blending room), but vodka, aged with fake whiskey flavour, caramel (burnt sugar), and colouring. It is "aged" in a barrel, but that's about it. And "20 " year whiskey can contain as little as 5% of 20 year old whiskey (not the whole bottle). And aging ceases as soon as it is bottled.

Might as well stick with beer, 'cause that's something us Canuck do as well or better than any else on the planet....

With the event some 10 days away, i thot we'd betetter have a thread here on UG Island to keep attendees up-to-date.

PS: no one has verified what they are bringing so that i can pencil in a loose schedule... some hints but that is all. Chris & Daniel & i will have at least 1 amp (hopefully 2) and quite a few speakers.

I should mention that the door prises are starting to queue up...

Grant Fidelity has donated one of their new tube output DACs, and planet10-hifi will be offering an pair of EL70eN (since these are very rare we may be too lazy to pull them out of the cabs they will be in). Bob will probably have something too. Kevin?

I will be bringing:

1) CVD'ified Planet10 ST-70.

2) "MOOSEFET" - A BoZ inspired SS preamp.

3) Two pairs of 2-way speakers; one En, one non-En with different XO points.

Does anybody want a pair of modified Buschorn 2 boxes (no drivers)? They're made of mdf, and one side of each has never been glued on - I was playing with stuffing variations.

If anyone is interested, I can post pics...

Regards.
