What Are You Bring to Burning Amp 2024?

[tonyEE]

How about a keg of Lagunitas IPA?

As mentioned in the BAF'24 thread I'll have two ACA Mini's, one stock, one with ClaudeG's suggested mods for comparision. Will need to use someone else's speakers though as I'm flying light.

 

[mordikai]

Bring your big speakers @mordikai!

There won't be room in my car for my big JBL's speakers. I have decided to bring my 8" coaxials with 12" woofers if I can get the boxes done, maybe even paint them? They should provide full range sound; The coax are legit 94db sensitivity and provide a pretty easy load. Working on the woofer boxes right now!

 

[audiosteve]

I'll be bringing these. It's a family of sorts. I'm also bringing an ACA Min (custom) to raffle or auction plus some miscellaneous boards.

Jeremy Steensma and I will be bringing "Beast II", the BJT power amp that I played last year, and a new quad Mosfet amp that I recently completed. I'll also bring along a pair of Infinity RS2.5 for speakers. It's somewhat of a large system, so it'll need a little elbow room.

Your system would be a good fit for the Preschool room, we will use that room for the larger systems.

Is anyone driving to Petaluma from SF Sunday morning? My plane lands areound 8 and right now I'm thinking Uber to be sure I get to Petaluma in time. But if I could cop a ride from someone I'd feel much better. I'll buy gas and tolls!
I can't get there until Sunday morning so may not have time or any space to set anything up for anyone to hear anything but I can show what I'm bringing to anyone interested.

 

[pinholer]

I'll be bringing my 12 watts/channel LD1014D JFET power amp.

 

[nikon f]

As a veteran of many shows and meets, you may want to bring some backup items such as power cords, speaker cables, interconnects, fuses and tubes. I even bring a backup amp, preamp and CD player.

I find it works very well effectively applying newer technology to what is an old method. I actually built a Dynaquadaptor kit unit back in 1970 and played with that and other implementations of the simple stereo matrixing multichannel derivations into the '90s. When things were right it worked very well, but any number of source or setup issues provided strange results. It was not a method that made most all of your music enjoyable. The SYN, to me, actually expands the percentage of music I find enjoyable. I have always felt that stereo 'imaging' is an artifact of using only two sound producing locations to create a sound field. Fortunately it's an enjoyable artifact, and I enjoy it. However, I have never heard live music that makes you think that that player or singer is in a very precisely located point. Close your eyes at a performance and see if you can locate sources that precisely. The SYN synthesizing the center channel does a better job of presenting two channel inputs in a more plausible sound field.

I started this effort about two years ago, initially hoping to implement Gerzon's trinaural center channel method, and I may well try to do that in the coming years. Jason Stoddard designed, produced the SYN which he described in terms that echoed thought I had 25 years ago: "I wish some capable designer would implement the concepts in Dynaquad using active circuity with multiple levels of buffering!" I had to try it out. Obviously I was pre-sold, so I'm not sternly objective here. I hope you get it here a SYN in a good system.

Oh good! I was hoping it wasn't just a simple summing of the L&R channels for the center channel. I have been looking for an analogue implementation of the DPL2 method. The SYN looked very promising.

I'm bringing a work-in-progress, a DIY project preamp that isn't yet ready for demonstration; display only. I'm guessing you'd want that in the Club-2 room?

 

[Sonic Scientific]

Hoping people would like to do op amp rolling at the event. I will bring quite a few op amps from my own collection🙂

Yes, Club Room would be perfect for your preamp.

Would someone bring a pair of C-Note speakers, or something else with that Dayton DSA135-8 5-inch mid-woofer?

(on-sale now for $25)

[mordikai]

Well my project is not really complete (or working art all) so I'm gonna see what I can do tonight: It's probably 50/50. If I don't bring it I will have much more room to bring things to give away, raffle etc. :/

I can bring my pair of C-Notes (I built and brought them last year). I can also bring some realistic minimus speakers and a source for testing the Zenductors amps
