Some teasers...
Two drivers I designed and are in production.
Might even throw them into the obligatory OSB enclosure.
No need to break with tradition....
And the innards of the large tower that is coming.
Dave, you will not know what hit you with this one.
Hope you guys are coming.
And if someone knows someone that has an LCD projector, I would be very happy to do a presentation with sights and sounds.
Calling Mr. Slim, I think you volunteered one time to bring a projector.

Saturday:
Bring your tunes. Listen to what you guys would like to listen to.
It will be an equal opportunity to assault each others ears with what we like best.
If you bring enclosures, or drivers I will be very happy to test them out for you.
I have just a few different mics for R&D measurement now.

I may have damaged my vamped LPUHP. No case has arrived from the far east yet so I decided to put it all on a small piece of plywood so we could show and tell. Too many aligator clips, I suppose one slipped and one of the + regulators is not working well now,
lots of 120 hz in the output bummer, bummer, no spares either, tripple bummer.

Bad news about the LPUHP, John
Good news about the speakers, Mark. I'm looking forward to hearing them.
For another request... last year, somebody (bearberry/ John?) had some Fostex T50RP headphones that they were planning to mod. If they did, I would definitely like to hear how they turned out.
See you soon!

Hi Mark,
As per my PM, I'm trying to track my son down, as he is in possession of the projector..
