Dan, you summed the afternoon up nicely! It sure didn’t feel like 5-6 hour and I’m looking forward to future meets.
The new speakers needed breaking in but have potential. They really lock in when you’re in the sweet spot and have an impressive amount of bass though the volume was much higher than I’m used to at home. They have no problem playing loud with the Kaiju if anyone is wondering.
PB’s amps were really nice looking builds and that 811A glows beautifully! Ed’s build was a beast and I look forward to hearing them (not lifting them) as a stereo pair. It was nice to see the SEX isn’t going anywhere and didn’t change drastically. The highlight of the evening for me was Jim’s recordings. Closing my eyes, I could picture sitting in a café listening to those ladies sing and could listen to them for hours.
I was very thankful for the collective brain trust and their help on my little Heathkit project (miss step). At a future meet they will return in corrected form. It’s a lot of fun having that many years of audio experience (listening, designing, building) in one place.
A big thank you to PB for trouble shooting some 120Hz noise in my headphone amp. Another thank you to Shannon for the caps! And a special thank you to Eileen, Josh and Kelvin for setting up the event and keeping it going. Next time I’ll bring some food in addition to audio projects. Maybe we could do a BBQ in the parking lot next year when the rain stops?
