    ben, you could bring the jolida and the onkyo amps, stop playin around lol


    I may not have anything to bring, as i am about to make a few "subtle" changes ie: everything is going away for new-to-me equipment. just not sure what im searching for just yet.

    Jolida? I have no Jolida lol.

    The onkyo doesn't do well in a demo setting like that. It could use a refreshing and takes almost 2 hours for it to start to sound really good. Which is why i never turn it off.
    I don't read the newsssspaperssss because dey aaaallllllllll...... have ugly print.

    If thats the only date you can make it a couple of us might be able to meet up and hang out either way.

    My Saturdays are totally free most of the time. LOL...SilverTuner and I have started to make it a habit to demo speakers on Saturdays....and we could always hit some pawn shops lol

    So anyone not on my current list planning on attending? Trying to start firming up whose coming so we can start figuring out what gear will be around

    @Silvertuner: if you still have your tube amp bring that since it looks like Indyhawg wants to hear his Klipsch Forte II hooked up to one (I forget of nooshin has a tube amp or not). If you want to bring your Altec's that might be cool too since I havent heard them.

    Also if folks are coming this would be a great time to connect to sell/buy gear. So if you have some gear and are thinking about selling, maybe post that here and you might find yourself a buyer.

    I personally have nothing on my wish list right now (besides possibly some speakers that start with a P and end with a digm).

    if the amp is together i will bring it with me i suppose. its not a ****-ton of power remember that. it should be in working order, but may be a bare chassis getting cosmetic upgrades. and magnavox tubes unless nooshin has some 6v6 tubes he wants to give a try in it. still on the search for some mullards and have worried about other upgrades, saving them for dead last.

    going tomorrow or monday to find a bit of lumber to start redoing the sides and front, and upgrading the binding posts, and possibly stripping the chassis for some serious cosmetics. wanting to find some cedar at a decent price and redo the handles since i f*cked those up trying to install them.

    i will make it a point to bring it, but not too worried about the Altec's at a Polkie meet lol

    I'm down for this meet. Should be fun.
    I'd say sometime around the 3rd week of March we should plan out what everyone's bringing and maybe figure out the best way to coordinate it all without imposing too much on john.
    I have the ability to bring some of my big gear but want to make sure we can make it work out smoothly.

    no problem man. i was considering letting you keep it for a week or two, but then remember this is my ONLY amp right now. i would be musicless :frown: and i would most likely go MORE insane than i already am...

    understandable. however sometimes a simple "f*ck off" works as well rather than shunning.

    anyone have a clue as to what they will be bringing to this?

    i will bring my crappy little magnavox 8802 console tube amp thats been hot rodded a bit so it can actually produce mp3 grade music at low volume

    ill bring the sony amp too, big ugly heavy pile of vintage solid state ****

    does nooshin have enough cables and a decent pre-amp for this stuff? or shall we bring our own?

    thats about all i have interest in bringing.

    anyone else have a clue what they shall be bringing to this? hows about a people count!

    ive got my Modulus pre. I'd like to hear it against that Sunfire. I can bring my Audio Alchemy, too. I like it in certain situations.

    I listed what I had on the page 2 if you guys want to hear any of it. I may bring the Classe, the Audible Illusions, the Sonus Fabers (and stands?) anything else anyone want to hear?

    I have a TON of vinyl, and you guys are welcome to use it. I would like to hear more SACD, as I only have a few. My vinyl mix is all over the map, but please bring anything you would like to hear.
