few lines from Mighty Moi :
-meeting people is most important thing
-then goes lectures
-then goes seeing funky gadgets and speaking of them (considering that forum activity is already all the time about that , exactly)
-then goes actual listening ; gimme few evenings with some apparatus , then I'll tell you what I think ; not in shorter time
BBQ is waaaaay above listening , on importance list

Yes, October 6th, 2013 is the date... That is in Mark's signature.
I assume it's at Fort Mason again, but don't quote me on that.

Yup, at Ft. Mason on the 6th of October. I've been remiss on updating the site and have recently given myself a lecture about getting on the ball!
We are currently about 5 weeks away... any chance that we will ever see a web site update or info posted in this thread about the event? It's time to get fired up!

I hope I can go this year! Work commitments (which I don't know solid date yet) might keep me away.
Yes Charlie, you are right! Time to get fired up!!!
This year, as my sig line notes, the show will be on October 6th, SOON!!!
which is a Sunday, from 10am to 7pm. building "C", second floor as the last couple of years.
Let's start talking up what we're bringing!
Horrific family issues have limited my ability to organize this year, but from experience if we get going now we can still be more organized than in previous years- mostly because we've never been terribly organized I'll admit!!!

Let's get the volunteer list organized.
If you want to help, just post here. If you want to help and have helped in the past please mention that.

I will bring a pair of Fostex speakers, Bottlehead SEX amp, Bottlehead power cord, DIY interconnects, Marantz CD player and my home made chocolate chip cookies.
Damn right!
Hey, everyone check out
BurningAmp : The annual audio DIY event at Fort Mason, San Francisco CA for audiophiles who make their own equipment, components for amps, speakers, and parts.
to see what we have for you this year so far. More to come!
Keep posting about what you're bringing!

I will be bringing an MTM system that I recently designed using a pair of the Anarchy woofers and a small format elliptical horn tweeter in a 45L ported cabinet, tuned to 35Hz. The drivers are available from the DIYsoundgroup. The crossover was developed using the Active Crossover Designer (ACD) and is implemented using a MiniDSP 2x4. The active speaker has built in amplification, with the crossover external to the loudspeaker.
During the development of this speaker a new 'directivity extension' to ACD has been used extensively. The extension provides a framework for a set of measurements of the drivers, without crossover filters and obtained on multiple axes, to be imported during set up (e.g. only once) and linked into the filter design tools. The system response (drivers+crossover filters), can then be predicted for all measured axes and viewed during the crossover design process so that appropriate tradeoffs can be made considering all response axes. The frequency response information can be viewed in a number of ways such as a line plot, surface plot, or sonogram.
As an example, the sonogram for the MTM system that I will bring is shown below:

It's unfortunate but I can't make it there this year though I had planned to make the trip. But things went downhill suddenly and it makes the trip unviable.
Maybe next year (!). Trust all lectures will be up on the Net. More pictures or video on youtube with identification of who's who ! It's funny that we think that someone might look like this or that and turn out to look completely different ! It's great fun being at the meet !
Have fun.
Cheers.

Arrrgghhh! I won't be making it either. I'm on work-related travel. This has been like an annual pilgrimmage trip. Hate to miss the chance to meet Pano. 🙁
I really do appreciate the Linear Systems videos, but year(s) is a long time to wait for them.
Someone please consider recording (audio) the presentations like I did last year 🙂
Maybe Wavebourn will let someone plug into the mixer?
Maybe presenters could post their slides as well?

Someone donated a few 100 TO-3 IRF450 power fets to me. Any interest in those? They weigh a lot but I could lug them across the big pond.
