I have a date set of Saturday, June 27th for a Rockford Audio Society get together at my place. I am unable to host a large get together at this time. Due to work and parent care issues, it will only be a one day thing with ~10-12 people. I am doing a head count of Rockford Audio Society members that will attend. I am located near I80/I55, West of Joliet, IL.
So far, Noel, John, messiah and concealer have expressed interest. It would be mostly two channel with my stuff, Polk SDA CRS+, Monitor 7's with Peerless tweets, and who knows what else. Most times we have more gear than we can get to in a day. Vinyl and digital are both enjoyed and respected here. The surround setup may be where the wife goes to escape, so that could be off limits.;)Salk SoundScape 8's * Audio Research Reference 3 * Bottlehead Eros Phono * Park's Audio Budgie SUT * Krell KSA-250 * Harmonic Technology Pro 9+ * Signature Series Sonore Music Server w/Deux PS * Roon * Gustard R26 DAC / Singxer SU-6 DDC * Heavy Plinth Lenco L75 Idler Drive * AA MG-1 Linear Air Bearing Arm * AT33PTG/II & Denon 103R * Richard Gray 600S * NHT B-12d subs * GIK Acoustic Treatments * Sennheiser HD650 * -

Count me in as a definite maybe.:)
I don't have much in the way of gear to bring. I'd offer up my Peerless 7A's, but Rich already has a pair, so there wouldn't be much of a point...lolThe nirvana inducer-

I asked you guys to photo shop me into the pics! Sorry I missed this one, I know you guys had a good time. I've been to Rich's before and he's a gracious host.
Again I urge all polkies that live close to each other to have these get togethers. The RAS does it every few months and it's always a great time!
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul! -
For some reason I cannot see the pics, they are blank with the little x box....
anyway, glad you guys did your thing, I really do want to make one of these.
