DIY OTTAWA WINTER 2012

[GloBug]

Will you guys be having a swap meet of sorts? I think that would be great.

Also I would like to bring my amp to have it evaluated.AL

Hi there GloBug.

We have had the odd draw and give away. Nothing wrong with bringing some stuff.

Too bad I couldn't get away!
Either proposed weekend is fine with me.

Either weekend is fine for me as well.

I am out of the hospital and still breathing, well if I wasn't breathing this would be written by a ghost. Any weekend is fine, I may not be around as the wife is planning a southern holiday, but if I am here I will be there.

Glad to hear that you're out of the hospital, John, & hopefully well on the way to recovery.
I've got to say that your comment about your wife planning a southern holiday-just after saying you may not be around-had me a little concerned for a moment. Then I realized that you meant that you might not be around Ottawa,, and, it sounds like she would be taking you with her on vacation...good for you!

John - Good to hear from you. Get well soon. Your DIY buddies miss you.

Keep your stick on the ice John!

I knew you were tougher than that!

 

[Redshift187]

Best wishes for a most speedy recovery John!

For Ottawa DIYers awareness, I am enquiring on the availability of our usual room for the 4th and 5th of February. More to come.

Cheers - Pierre

 

[DDF]

5th can work for me.

How about others?

We go or no go. But we gotta go sometime.


I will do a presentation on something interesting if you dudes think it is worth while. Even if Dave chickened out the last time. Speaking of Dave where is that ddude.

LOL! I guess I missed the lunch? :} Sorry Mark, i just saw this thread. Wished I was there.

Please count me in for the meet. I don't have much of consequence to bring, just a couple small two ways this year. Might bring the JR149 rebuilds.

Let's please synch up about test gear. I think my mic set up is too unpredictable but I can drive the MLSSA if anyone wants a system measured.

If anyone built ND105 systems (Bear?), I know I'd be eager to hear it.

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Dave you should just show up and listen to the tunes!

Or you could help out and make the tunes play.

Or....

Awe heck. Missed you at lunch.

Can't wait for Pierre to come up with some availability times.

> Dave you should just show up and listen to the tunes!

Works for me. 🙂

Wished I could have been there.

Too bad you didn't make it. We missed you. B.t.w. based on your measurements last spring I removed 2 dB of padding on the tweeters of my towers. They are now flat (I suppose) and sing better than before. Thank you 😀.

I'm still awaiting a response. The president of the community association and the person in charge of bookings have both changed... I hope we can get as good a deal as before. According to the on-line calendar it looks like the centre is free for the two days we want.

I just finished a new preamp which I will bring to our event. The frequency response is DC to 400 kHz (-3dB). Resolution is the greatest improvement compared to my balanced line stage. Very clean (unforgiving?) sound. Here's a picture:

Pierre, my pleasure, that's what it's all about!

Hope to see you guys soon!

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Awe cool!

Pierre can't wait to see it and hear it!

 

[PierreQuiRoule]

Mark - Thank you. This pre has a lot of drive (+/- 15 volts). I am curious to find out what people think of the sound when they hear it.

I sent a friendly reminder to the community association for booking the hall. Still awaiting a response...

Pierre

 

[Tony D]

Hey Pierre.

Just wondering if you have heard from the community association yet? I'm going to go ahead and ask for the time off work. Hopefully it works out. Also thanks Pierre for handing the book process of the event. Couldn't be done with out you.
