Let's start the organizing on this new thread...

Here are some o themes of this year's show:

1. We have more smallish rooms than anything, so systems with smaller speakers, or speakers that work well in smaller spaces will be more likely to get a room. Of course we need some big, impressive speakers too! Just be aware the competiton will be greater to have them play.

2. The majority of systems are going to be put together here online and will consist of components from various different people, as most people only have one DIY item to bring. We need lots of components to mix and match. OTOH, tightly integrated systems are fascinating too, so we're very interested in them too..

3. Say you have a DIY amp with a gold plated chassis and knobs made from precious stones, and transmitter tubes and a 15KV power supply, BUT it hums terribly in one channel, plus it recently arced over to your cat with unfortunate consequenses. Will people want to see it as a passive display- you bet! -We'll have lots and lots of room for components to be displayed. So bring cool stuff to look at , that will set the tone..

4. Haven't made anything yet? Then come look at what people have done and learn how they did it. You don't have to bring anything

Since its been 2 years, don't be shy about bringing stuff you've already brought. It will be new for lots of people, especially in this new location. So think of it as a reunion.

Speaking of which we can stay late as we want and BS. I can clean up on Sunday.

I can stage stuff like the blankets here in Mountain View, 20 minutes from the venue, and I have the hillbilly F250 for transport in. This will be way easier than the 954 stoplights up Van Ness with 4 on the floor. I'm also up for hosting a planning session here at the house.


Cheers,
Marshall

I think we'll get you a room of your own this year. What historical electrica linventor do you want ad your room name? You can have your stable and swap them in, so bring lots. Plus there might be a prize from Linear Systems for best original circuit using their JFETs, so keep that in mind. (OTOH JFETS are pretty tiny so who knows who made the ones in your amp? )You're one of the few that really comes up with new stuff.

We'll need some speakers . ... Pensils? and a source..

You bet I'll have the usual heretical stuff - some new, and some old/revamped.
