I'd prefer the Monroe's without the Adam's apple

If Mark can't find you something downtown, there's always a room up here.

Something tells me you just got yourself a couple of visitors

you mean this:

(I like it)

Bart is close but not close to walk from. The bus station is close.
The "Venue" is photo studio and is located in the area called Portrero Hill. It is about 15-20 min. driving time from airport and 10 min from downtown. It is common not to have car in the city as public transportation works well, as well as cab service is good.

 

[Variac]

I'm sure we will figure out exactly what BART station to get off at, and the correct bust o take.. (bust? that damn Magura's avatar) I meant "bus to take" .
We will then post the info on the website when we (actually AR2) get it done...
Some towns have BART, other towns have a train called Caltrain that also goes to the city. That train has a station in the city where there are also buses to everywhere.

 

[Magura]

Yeah right, just blame me.....

Hi AR2,

Just a clarification for the out-of-towners; that would be "Potrero" rather than "Portrero" - correct?
And here I had thought you guys had snagged that neat cylindrical building on Telegraph hill. But I'll get over it.

Maybe, maybe not... having seen where the event is on Google Earth, i have (in earlier visits) walked from about a 1/3 of the way from Mocone to the venue back to the Fairmount (and that is largely uphill)

[AR2]

Correct, sorry.

Once I finish web, we will have directions and everything you guys will need. For now my advice for out of towners will be cab or bus #23. The "closest " bart station is 24th St and is just too far. I will have address, google map, and everything else on web. And on the top of that we will be able to give you additional directions if needed.

Hmm, it sounds like one better bring an aboriginal

Heck, I'm a mere 100 miles away, and I can crash at my folk's house in Millbrae, so how can I miss this? Sounds like fun!
My Tubelab amp has handles, so it's practically begging to come along. What will there be for sources and speakers?

Funny you should ask:

Hello Mark:

I will be glad to support the demonstration of the Orion speakers at the show. I will talk to Siegfried about the Pluto speakers as they are also
available for the DIY customers.

Best regards,

Don Naples

Unfortunately Siegfried Linkwitz will be out of the country during our show, which is too bad, because he mentioned giving a talk

BUT it looks like Don Naples is going to save the day by at least bring those speakers most of us are curious about

I think we're getting some momentum here...

Burning Amp Festival Perhaps I can make it.

Any test equipment ?

Will there be some test equipment ? A scope , oscillator , dummy load and DMM ? Some amps might emit ' blue smoke' and we might want to fix them !

I guess for the source there will be at least a few CD players around ? I guess people bringing amps must bring interconnects and (IEC) power cords also. Extension boxes ?

Wonder what range of loudspeakers will make it to the show. Hmm.....it's getting complicated already!

 

[SY]

I would suspect that, with all these geeks around, there will be some test equipment. My next task is to find a USB sound card that will work with my laptop so I can do the speaker measurements- generally, I use my desktop for that, but it's a bit impractical to haul down there.

 

[neil_kaye]

Any further momnetum on a trade table?
I have a coupl eof amps and speakers that i would love to trade. Perhaps we can start a list?

 

[SY]

Any list would be for convenience, there's no real restriction- bring what you like, barter and trade as you wish.

We'll have the website up and (partially) running in the next few days. AR2 managed to snag www.burningamp.com for us! There will be sign-up sheets and we'll leave room for a short message from each registrant.
