Anyone need me to bring tube testing gear - have some tubes they need checked out?

Looking forward to seeing everyone! Besides our amplifier gear and accessories, I will also have on hand: - TXH00 - TXH00PH - HD650 - 7XX - Lightly modded original ATH M50's - DBV3 modded T50RP's

Was a great time - appreciate everyone that came! Until next time!

If anyone needs or wants to have their tubes tested, I have a score of testers and I am happy to bring one. Just let me know or will leave them home.   Saturday is almost here - looking forward to seeing everyone again and meet some new friends!   Some of my loaner cans did not make it back...

It is our pleasure to donate the Solstice. Great to hang out with local enthusiasts! We will bring out all of our gear to live demo again and by all means, just ask and you can take any of our designs to your own setup(s) at the event and have a listen. We will also bring a myriad of headphones...

I plan to attend - bring more things :)   Another idea, how about a hotel conference room? I can check into a local Hampton Inn and see if I can use points to reserve a room or what the cost would be. Hotels are generally nice as they are close to good food and the freeway.

I hide well - no need to see my ugly mug :)

Just some random pics :)                          

The meet was a blast, the company fantastic and the gear on hand was nothing short of amazing! Great to meet so many local enthusiasts. I have some photos as well that I will try to get posted tonight.   A big thanks to the guys that made it all happen / destroysall and coolzo. Thanks for the...

Looking forward to attending this time around :)   I will be bringing...   Project Amplifiers: - Starlight - Sunrise III - Horizon III - Ember - Polaris - Solstice (new release)   Headphones: - AKG 7XX - Sennheiser HD650 - Fostex T50RP DBV3 modded - HiFiMAN HE560 - Lightly...

Very cool gear guys - glad this post was dug up. Good to see so many keeping vintage gear in such excellent condition! That 747 is a beauty.

Necroposting at its finest :)   But while I am here... some of my goodies. Boy do I feel for the people that hand wired these back in the day. You do have to love that wonderful early electronics smell. Fills my whole office! - B&K 707 black case - calibrated and tested, slightly modded...

All of the early Sunrise I kits and many Sunrise II kits received reflektor 6n23p's until the sources dried up. Then the change was made to  voskhod and those sources quickly dried up. Shoot me a detailed photo from the side of your tube and I can tell you exactly what you have.

I like 12av7’s in general. Funny as I have a Raytheon I am listening to in a starlight right at this very moment . I do find them noticeably more susceptible to noise than other tubes in certain situations. And yes, prices on all vintage tubes have been on a rapid rise over the last 6-8 months I...

No secret I am a fan of the 12bh7 / 12bh7a, but I recently have been toying with their less common brother, the 6gu7 which is basically a 6v version. Outstanding tall bottle tube (tall for a mini 9 pin at about 1/2" taller than say a 12au7) and can be had for a couple of bucks per tube. To note...

Looking at the PCB and parts used, appears to be a bourns ptd90 dual gang series potentiometer (actually the best small footprint pot you can get IMO). As you know - posted, channel imbalance at low volumes is normal with them with both 10 & 20% models, generally only 1 in 3 match well at low...

When it comes to tubes, the majority of what people desire or want are long, long out of production. We are talking between 40-60+ years old. These vintage tubes, especially the more rare and desirable do not come cheap and source qtys are very small. A manufacturer cannot possibly buy enough...

Would love to join in. Would be nice to see a local meet come around again since I missed the last awhile back.

Quote: I probably would claw or bite if someone tried to take them - would go full smeagol (yes I had to google the spelling of the name, not quite that much of a geek)!

I wanted to post some quick notes on my DBV3 modded 50rps... All I can say is wow.... these mods took what in my opinion was a terrible sounding headphone (sorry if it offends... but they really are terrible stock) to an outstanding one. Out of my collection, these are quite magical with strings...

I had the chance to listen to a pair of M50's last night modified with DT250 velours. My impressions: - They were a lot of fun, outstanding on rock,metal and electronic. Had an evil grin on my face listening to some old zombie and nin - Stage was a bit closed, nothing awesome. Had a (not...

Wish I could help you out, will be bringing 650's however if you want to give them a run.

Will need an outlet!

I can make it in March, No problem!
