Steve Hoffman to speak at Can Jam '09

[velogreg]

Through the generous efforts of Dan Muzquiz of Blackbird Audio and Bill Wolford of Billy Bags the Steve Hoffman presentation system is now complete. For those of you who have not been following this thread; once more the Can Jam dream gear is as follows:

One Galibier Serac paired with an Artisan Audio Tonearm and Dynavector 17D3 cartridge



the Manley Labs Steelhead Phono,


the Manley Labs Snapper monoblocks


all resting on a Billy Bags Pro 34 audio stand custom built for this Can Jam system




Von Schweikert Audio VR-5 Anniversary Speakers

Thanks again to Manley Laboratories, Von Schwiekert Audio, Billy Bags and Blackbird Audio for your generosity. With Steve Hoffman providing the musical content, you have absolutely no reason not to attend Can Jam.

Nice system. I wonder if they are going to use the Manley 300B preamp or run the Steelhead right to the Snappers?

[velogreg]

Possibly, they told me before they left for Germany and it is on one of the 334 postits I have in my office somewhere. Perhaps I will find it in a week and confirm here.

Sweeeet!

I received the Serac from Thom at Galibier Thursday and have been amazed with it. I really think the CanJam attendees are going to be stunned at system Greg has put together.

I obviously don't know what I am doing. Can someone fix my links to the Manley, Galigier, Billy Bags and Von Schweikert Audio sites.


Manny thanks to the person who fixed my post.

Todd had first dibs on the Manley Labs 300B, and besides TTVJ rules so if you want to demo the Manley Labs 300B, you need to stop by Todd's room. I certainly intend to spend a lot of time there checking out the Manley 300B and Todd's Millet amp. Tube sweetness!

Must add to my must-hear list.

I agree completely! This should be a dynamite sounding system, and of course Steve does an amazing job with his talks! This presentation alone should be a huge draw for CanJam, even for audiophiles who aren't terribly interested in headphones. You guys have done a great job at putting this event together. I'm sure your attention to detail will be much appreciated at "show time".

Let's hope so, otherwise I will have to whip out my accordion and do my rendition of fifty most popular polka tunes..........
