Burning Amp 2023!

What a fantastic venue! So easy to move from room to room, very comfortable, lots of space, very user-friendly, very good acoustics (!), and about half the price as the FM location, I understand. Lots of conveniences very nearby, though food and beverages always close at hand at the venue. Many more positive things to say, but here are photos for now...

Thank you so much to Tom, Penny, Jim, and all of the people who make this happen for everyone!

I think the def went for $2600
The DEF amp was the one that almost got me in trouble. My left brain struggled mightily with my right brain, knowing that if my right brain won the argument, I'd be sleeping outside with my new DEF amp until my wife forgave me.

Now that I think about it, with an extension cord it could have kept me warm at night. 🙂
 
Can't forget to say huge thanks to Nelson Pass for donating the incredible set of 4 amps - F5, F6, F7 and DEF - all built by him and signed for the lucky bidders! Also a huge thanks to all of the folks who donated items for both the raffle and to give away! An incredible assortment of parts waiting to be repaired/repurposed/used.

It is such a huge amount of work, time, effort, planning, executing, handholding to put on events like these, and there are a lot of very generous, helpful, and friendly people at the events.

Agree with the comment on the DEF amp - I had an itchy trigger finger but kept it under control, as I have way too much gear already, but wow, what a unique amplifier!
