LOL

I enquired on the availability of the Hall for 21-22 February 2014. Awaiting a response.

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Thanks Dve. That is just so funny. We all greq up with those cartoons. And it didn't turn us into psychopaths and mass murders.

I still remember my folks telling me " You know that all make believe right? "

Kept our feet on the ground and still gave us a laugh.

Ok now back to business.

Hope Pierre gets us an answer soon.

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

OK to sweeten the deal I'll bring a test and measurement rig this time for any and all who want to get either drivers measured or frequency response measurements of their latest and greatest.

Merry Christmas everyone!

If you haven't seen it yet, Linn records is providing free sampler download up to 24/192, until Jan 6th. Varied material and the recordings seem quite good, typical hifi test material

Linn ? 24-bits of Christmas ? Free High Quality Music Every Day

Enjoy!

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Very nice indeed!

Thanks Dave.

For your awareness, I just sent a reminder. Will keep you posted.

This is what I've been working on the last few months. Boards have been ordered, so I should have lots of time to complete it.

24/192 DAC, DC coupled outputs, both differential and single ended.

I hope it works

 

[PierreQuiRoule]

Nice ! Thank you for sharing

Pierre - Thanks for persisting with trying to get that booking confirmed.

Mark - I'll plan to bring a couple of drivers for measuring... just have to take the time to try to get them out of the old speaker cabinets. I'd hoped to repurpose the woofers & cabinets for some Mini Econowave-type conversions, so I probably should find out if they measure ok.

Again, it's looking like I won't have any builds to bring this time around (though I have higher hopes for completing something for the 2016 meet!). I can/will bring a manufactured TPA3116 integrated amp - the SMSL SA60 - in case anyone has not heard one of these little guys. This is "stock", including power supply.

Hope to see you all soon.
- Ron

Nifty Tyler.

Ron.

You bring em, I'll measure em.

The president of the association wrote to say that things are looking good for the hall rental, and that he will confirm this upon his return from holidays.

From my notes of our luncheon, here are some of the DIY creations that could make it to our get together:

• Tyler: One or two DACs, headphone amp
• Shanelle: DAC
• Mark: 2-way horn-loaded speakers
• John: foam core speakers
• "Tall" John: Nano neos 2-way bookshelfs, Napoleons bookshelfs, CHR70 full-range speakers, TI Amps, SMSL Digital amps
• and me: 2-way speakers inspired from Lynn Olson's "beyond-the-ariel"

Mark is bringing his speakers test and measurement rig.

This should be fun .

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

And if all turns out well, a set of CBT's.

I said if....

 

[PierreQuiRoule]

Ooohhh

 

[bearberry]

Thanks for the updates!

Anybody would like their cartridge aligned on their turntable?

I could bring my tools, protractor, scale, etc. and show how to DIY this. I'll even clean the stylus .

Pierre

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Now that is what I call service!

 

[Redshift187]

I have a new turntable (my first). I would assume the cartridge is aligned, but I'd like to know how to do it.

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

So how many of us are telling friends and acquaintances about the next meeting?

If we do some pre-meeting word of mouth the numbers will be quite a lot higher.

Bring it to the gathering and you will be my first client .
