    Just keeping this list updated as we had another member cancel due to schedule conflict.

    dpowell - Baked Potatoes
    kawizx9r + cousin - plates/cups
    Mole' - Steaks and drinks
    norm apter - Salad and Dessert
    Steelo
    blueboxer - tentative 'yes'
    Civilian
    edoggrc51 - chips, dip, soda and brewskis
    dacoupedeville - doesn't know on-call work schedule until a few days in advance. Will bring dessert if coming.
    phocion - snacks and brewskis

    Thanks for the updates, Doug. Much apprecriated, as they will help determine how much food to bring.

    By the way, as the date draws near, maybe we can do the same thing with an equipment list just so we know what we'll have on hand (and know of any imbalances in gear beforehand) and can develop a plan, as there are quite a few more participants than last time. Just an idea.

    One more thing. I don't want to leave music/DVD media to chance. If you have SACD's (i.e. PF DSOTM) or others or any other redbook CDs that are good for critical listening, please bring them along.

    Having duplicates helps if we are comparing CDP's.

    No worries. I'll be fully stocked...and yes I have PF DSOTM hybrid-SACD which I'll bring along. As for exact duplicates, I only have a few titles (I'm not sure any are audophile grade but I'll bring them along in case we need them for a death match).

    Have to ask, anyone have a tube integrated they're bringing along?

    I love separates but would love to hear a nice tube integrated (with tube amplification, not a hybrid/SS amp).

    Yeah...sorry guys, but my 12yr old son has his last PopWarner football playoff game the Saturday of the get together.

    He's been having a good season as running back - he's the Darren Sproules of his team - small but quick and fearless. I gotta go.

    Have fun and post pics!

    Erik, family first is the way to go. I'd do the same. Enjoy and we'll catch you at the next meet.

    Well, since Mole' bumped the thread...

    Doug, when you get a chance, can you add my CDP (Bada HD-22SE) to the list. I'll be bringing that as well in my quest to find the weakest link. Thanks.

    LOL

    Was kind of (and kind of NOT) hoping it'd sell.

    I'll still need to buy 1 x-mas gift so funds will be tied! I'll have a Polk MM12" sub to show off a bit at the GTG (girlfriend is buying me one this Fri or Sun) :biggrin:

    Not sure how many are into car audio that will be there.

    And HSU? They're located in so-cal? Damn, never knew that. Should check out Epik subwoofers over in Crystal Lake (outside Chicago) if you're ever in IL.

    Anyone else have Pink Floyd DSOTM SACD? If not, I'm going to order a copy. Need more than 1 copy of a CD for CD Shootouts. Also, if anyone has Stevie Ray Vaughn "In-Step" bring it along. There's a fantastic shootout song on there (Riviera Paradise).

    YES! Glued the spiders back in place and the sub is performing beautifully. Those spiders are a bit brittle around the edges. :frown: Man oh man that system sounds good now, especially after spending some serious hours fine tuning it last week. The room is so different than what the system was in before. Bass behaves so differently and I was getting really frustrated trying to get a synergy where it sounded well-blended but still had a punch. I think I'm pretty close. Still got some strange ground-loop issues I'm looking into.....

    Hoping you guys can help a bit with some fine tuning. It's hard to make adjustments on the control center and get a feel for what's happening real time 20 feet back.

    I also installed a brand new quad of Ei EL34 tubes in the Anthem and am breaking them in now for the meet. Initial impressions are that music has much more detail than with the stock tubes but that these aren't quite as forward sounding. I look forward to hearing your impressions.
