Well we had a great meeting once again.
All the core players were there. Looking like we are having a meet in April. Towards the end of the month. I have been sworn to provide a finished pair of loudspeakers ready for the event. I can't figure out why????? Could be my infamy, I mean famous ready the day of offerings? Sometimes even the crossover is done at the meet!
Dave has a fancy new DAC he is bringing. And Little John will bring a power amp.
I have a dual concentric LeCleach horn design I have to finish and bring. It will be a treat to demonstrate them.

It's a good idea to direct acoustic waves to the right places. We wouldn't want them in the wrong places��
John's asked me to bring the final Napoleons, so I shall.
John and Ron, I finally updated the write up of the spec and responses over at

If needed I can bring both dacs and the ncore wind generator

Hello all! Just a quick word to say that I am checking on a date later in April that would suit as many of us as possible. First, I must clear my own calendar (deconflict from moving our son back to Waterloo) then with the General Burns hall availability. More to come soon.
I will bring electronics to complement tall John's full range speakers. Probably a tube preamp and a single-ended SIT power amp. John - would you like to experiment a few options before the show?
Also, if someone brings a turntable to the show, this would give me incentive to finish and bring a paradise phono preamp.
Looking forward to this! Pierre

Do think I can bring mine?
I think Dave painted his black. It's a great upgrade to a wonderful sounding turntable.

Not quite sure but it's very moving. It wiggles really good as I slid it across my records!

I knew about the toy record player from Fisher Price. One of my cousins had one. But I never knew they made an actual record player. 😱
I've been working on a prototype to bring to the April get together. As usual I'll bring all my non-diy parts with some sorta diy speakers. I may have a prettier version ready by then.
Not a single one of the drivers is available commercially now. The planars I got off of Fleabay in the mid 90's. I don't even remember what they are <insert scratching head emoticon here>.
I'm listening now though and expect there will be some positive feedback.

If my brother Daniel can attend, I will see if I can get him to bring his Chord Hugo DAC. An interesting device not built around a COTS DAC chip.
I know it is not DIY, but would there be interest in a commercial DAC comparison session?

Looks like a PHL midrange. Yummy
Yes Pierre. I dug them out of the bin. It's already a good learning project for me. The 8 inch driver is the Eminence dual voice coil wired in parallel. I'm going to try an MTM with the PHL's on the prototype next. That would take them down to a 4 ohm load among other things. Since the open baffle is already about reflecting sound it will be an interesting experiment. Gotta love prototyping.

That DAC should be an interesting comparison.
Grant your picture is hideous. Who is that?
M<uhahahaaaaaha ha

8 years ago, almost. The fun we have had in the passing years.
