I'm planning a gathering of Carverphiles, with a few sprinklings of Polkies, Klipschers, and possibly even AudioKarmites:

* On or about March 12, 2011 (Sat), noon-ish to whenever (will firm up in the next couple of weeks)
* At my place in Lusby, MD
* PM me for contact info/address & to screen out any particularly annoying or crazy jerkwads :wink:

Gordon is exempt from the last requirement~

    Have you started to fit in as a good ol'boy, by gawd capn? :tongue:

    Maybe start at the Tiki Bar at Solomons' to get the juices flowin'?

    Hope ya'll have a good time!

    H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.

    Thanks to all who came. P*ss on all who didn't~

    We had a blast; started at 1200 noon & went to around 10:30 p.m. I (& I'm sure some others) had way too much to drink & played music too loud, as well as shooting some pool. Nobody went hungry & I think we heard everything each person brought, whether it was a 3-terabyte hard drive with 17,000 songs played through an Eastern Electric DAC, or compact discs of selected music, or MIT interconnects. Thanks again to everyone for making the trek; it was great to see those I hadn't seen in a couple of years & it was good to meet new folks!

    Rabbit's Briar patch

    Yesterday TNRabbit hosted his annual get together. I was a little late, having stopping by another buddies house to check out his system. I think I got everyone's name and forum handle correctly, if notI'm sure la'll let me know

    IMG_3538-vi.jpg
    When i got there I found Thuffman, Master Blaster, Rainman and Madmaster checking out Rabbit's 5.1 SACD tunes

    IMG_3519-vi.jpg
    Rabbit was showing Graham, I think his name is Graham, anyway I'm calling him Graham, all of the Sunfire and Rane components he has.

    IMG_3506-vi.jpg
    Here is Madmaster, after talking with him I learned he has one helluva set up at home. I'm sure we'll be checking that one out soon

    IMG_3514-vi.jpg
    Rabbit uses this table to hold the remotes for his Sunfire set up. You can see those awesome speakers in the background. Madmaster would take not of where Tom was sitting and gradually increase the speaker volume up.

    IMG_3524-vi.jpg
    Madmaster had Gypsy Woman cranked up to -8.5 on the TG IV and Tom stayed right there, enduring all 16 minutes of that song. What was that Tom? Did you say something? What...?

    I must say, I have never heard that song that loud, boy did it sound wonderful. It gave a good testimonial how the Rane gear can help your system...what Tom?

    IMG_3529-vi.jpg
    Here's Grahm, Funut and Madmaster in the listening position..Madmaster, what's that in your hand? I thought so, Madmaster is evil with the volume control. That look on his face is pure delight

    IMG_3538-vi.jpg
    Later on MB and Rainman would move over to the listening spot

    IMG_3510-vi.jpg
    Here's madmaster, F1nut and Thuffman enjoying the tunes and ice'd cold beverages

    Continued...

    Rabbit patch continued


    IMG_3515-vi.jpg
    Here's Rabbitt showing Graham how we all wake up and pray to the Sunfire before we begin the day. Ehm..cough..cough..hack..wheeze..er...what's that center channel speaker?

    IMG_3523-vi.jpg
    Here's Rainman, F1nut and Thuffman relaxing by the pool...er table

    IMG_3527-vi.jpg
    Here is rabbit convincing Thuffman that this is the remote control for the Rane units.

    IMG_3526-vi.jpg
    While Tom enjoy's his favorite ice'd cold beverage

    IMG_3531-vi.jpg
    Rainman, not believing what he is seeing, quickly moves in to capture the moment...I dunno, something to do with Tom's drink of choice

    IMG_3534-vi.jpg
    Rainman made a move towards the bar and Rabbit moved in to intercept him, Thuffman is giving that look like he's seen that before.

    IMG_3522-vi.jpg
    Here's Madmaster, Rainman, F1nut and Thuffman enjoying the music.


    It was a great time, I had to roll out of there a little early, but I had a good time meeting some folks from different forums. Looking forward to next time
