Interest in a Los Angeles Area DIY Audio Club? - Page 7

Steverino · 28th June 2011, 06:04 PM

honfatboy,
Thanks for getting in touch. I'm very new to DIY here and I've also posted on another forum about any "meets." Appears to be thin here in SoCal for these. Of course with gasoline @ $4 it is a restriction, but, I'm willing to see. A lot of the posts are a year+ however, I'd have to think there might be something. One individual writes for an audio 'zine so I'll see if that would be a way to go. Maybe the the sites could be rotated geographically since we are so automobile dependent here.

This has been dormant for a while...

I would be willing to host a little get together in Altadena, CA. I have a bunch of speakers that I built as well as several amps I built (and a few more I didn't build). That could be a start. If people are willing to come over for an afternoon or early evening maybe they could bring along some things. Loudspeakers may be too much to lug around, but maybe a good source or amplifier to hook up. Not really required since I have enough toys to keep us busy for an evening of comparisons.

Timing for me would need to be in the second half of April.

So, for now, presuming you have no schedule conflicts, would you want to come? Just trying to estimate interest here.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Interested but am in Tustin, and with a wife who works and 2 young kids, it's more of a challenge. Certainly keep me informed though, I have more than a few neat toys that might find their way to a meet.

Shro20,

I should have the new Datasat RS20i in my possession by then. I'm in Bakersfield but could bring it down for demo should you be interested. We could do a Dirac Live setup using your favorite loudspeaks and amps for the meeting.

schro20,

I'm in! I'm nearby in Eagle Rock. Don't think I'll have any homebuilt speakers ready (other than some AE IB15 H-frame dipole woofers) but I can bring a small pair of passive nearfield monitors (Hafler M5) as a reference for anyone who does have anything DIY.

cheers,
-Tal

Sounds good but Altadena is a ways. If I went it would be instead of actually doing DIY. But by late April who knows...

I'm in Montrose and have a almost finished set of Nano Neos running active through the DCX2496 and a Marantz receiver.

I'd like to hear the dipole woofers!

Allow me to show off a bit to perhaps wet your appetite

The first shows Nagaoka horns (snail type construction) and a pair of Lanzetta's (driven by a Roku into a Buffalo DAC [1.03] into a my_ref_RevC). Second picture are my Metronomes (with a horn on the back for the very highest frequencies) driven by a MJR7-MKIII and finally a picture of the Manzis which are taking a back seat right now.
