2018 Ottawa and Environs DIY Audio Get Together

John, thanks for the nudge. I'm game for lunch and whatever comes next. Nothing to share this year (months of renos) but I'd be game for a demo of Pierre's fancy new electronics test kit (assuming he pulled the pin?).
 
This Sunday 10 Feb or weekend 16-17 work for me. Noon ok? Or later in March.

If we do this at East Side Mario's or nearby I offer afterwards a listening session at my place. I adjusted the speakers crossover some more, and added a sub. Also happy to have lunch in Perth, in which case I can host some other time.

Hi Dave - Yes the analyzer is up and running. I could do a presentation on my experience writing software (Matlab) for the thing. (at our get together, not after lunch). Need a projector though. I find the potential for creating a poor-man's Audio Precision hard to resist.

Any time is fine and East Sides is great.

I got as far as the "added a sub" line and started laughing. It was really good sound before a sub.

I'm interested in the listen after if there is room.

Grant.
 
Thanks Pierre, looking forward to it. I've reinvigorated a 10+ year old ESI Julia and RMAA to the cause but its just not the same.

I could make Sunday Feb 10 till ~1:30, and maybe 16 or 17 weekend as well. Mar is no good for me till later in the month
 
Hi Pierre, hoping to not change anyone's plans and will attend whatever you guys decide if I'm in town (that's why 16th-17 is up in the air for me), but yes this Sunday I'm available till ~1:30 PM only (but could still attend a lunch anywhere etc)
 
We are all very collegial... Time for a decision though.
I vote for this Sunday 1130. Place TBD between:

A- lunch in Perth
B- lunch at East Side Mario
C- lunch at East Side Mario followed by listening session chez Pierre (all invited)
D- coffee and bagel etc chez Pierre.

I will happily follow the group and won't be offended at all if A or B are preferred (less cleanup 🙂).
Please express your preference!
 
All are very welcome to join, Felix. Option D is an open house.

Looking forward to hearing more about your EL84. One of the most musical amps I ever heard was an Audio Note EL84. the 3Dness blows my mind away every time I hear it.

I am reluctant to post my home address here, so if D is the preference, I can PM those interested.
