DIY club for adelaide?

[Ceglar]

I do like the idea of approaching VAF for several reasons, not least of which is room acoustics.. and his speakers are decent. I wonder how diverse we might be as a group, in other words, what are we all building so far as DIY ?

 

[coley]

lets plan to meet up for a beer one night see where we are all at and if we think it is worth planning something more.

I also live in Adelaide. A lot of projects at the thought stage. I have horns (still a work in progress) and single ended valve amps (looks a bit rough but works OK).
Regards
Wayne

Isn't this why we're meant to be getting together ... so we can find this out?

 

[coley]

that is what i thought. I can get to the city around 4-4:30 week days (work in pt ade, finish at 3:30). if we pick a pub maybe just out side cbd for easy parking. i was thinking next week 6-10/6/11. someone pick a day and a pub.

The horns are concrete tractrix 90hz, 400hz and pa tweeter, and the amp is a single end el34

Oh God, now I've really gotta be there! That sounds interesting.
(I'm building 70Hz conical front horns to complement Altec 1" compression drivers and 511B horns.)

How about Thursday night. Somebody else pick a pub. I'm no expert at metropolitan ale houses.

 

[coley]

thursday is good. i dont know many pubs there either. Sounds like we have some serious diy guru's. hope you can all come

We could do the Gilbert Hotel (Gilbert Street Adelaide). Parking's ok after about 5:00pm on Thursday with most people heading home.

 

[coley]

So the Thursday the 9th/06/11 at the Gilbert Hotel around 5pm. Sound good??

Im tentative, need to organise with the wife, she starts a new job next week so i may have to be home with my son.

Should we get a mod to move this to clubs and events?

Works for me. Count me in.

 

[WayneK]

I will try to make it there. I only finish work at 5.00 so will be 5.30 or later. How will we recognise each other?

One of you carries in a loudspeaker and puts it on the bar. The rest of you just look for the speaker.

It has been fun watching this group form.
