Looks good! But I'd definitely want some extra weight as the base.

That is the wackiest find of all time! How did you even find this? Also, are they as unstable as they look?

It was easily one of the best! I should add my belated impressions here soon.

I've been curious about Soekris for awhile so looking forward to hear it, @Beefy. Also, I'm glad you're finally making it out to a meet! When was the last meet you attended?

@Armaegis No one else will need to bring anything! 😂

I may or may not bring my L700--I'm scared of taking them out of the apartment given a driver already died due to moisture. But I'll have the Slate VSX system and some other things for people to try.

@ecwl Used to have Utopias. Not sure if he still does.

I'll be there

Putting out a request for an alternate host for our meet on the 25th as @rifi is no longer able to host. Unfortunately my current place isn't suitable to host a group or I'd offer! It looks like there will be no more thanax 10 folks attending.

I missed this message or I would have gone. Hope it was fun!

I have a few new things as well that I can bring.

Random question: does anyone here have BACCH for Mac, or have any experience with it? I'm curious to try it on my speakers, but I don't want to buy anything without trying it first.

I guess it'll be just me and @Armaegis ?

Thanks @Armaegis. Just came on to post the same thing myself!

It's let up here too but they're predicting more snow to come. Should be interesting!

Put me down for tentative. Things are just up in the air with my Dad's health atm so I'm playing things by ear.

Looks like Artist's Emporium on Roseberry has the one you linked to for a toonie: https://www.artistsemporium.net/product/00/9556089006866/Eraser-Faber-Castell-Dust-Free-Black-Vinyl

I'm a bit behind on this thread, but by any chance are you talking about a kneaded eraser? These are the erasers that you can knead into a dense putty that you roll over pencil marks as opposed to the firmer type that rub back and forth...

I recently got a Qudelix 5K and absolutely love it. The software interface in particular is wonderful, especially how it handles EQ preset management. It's biggest problem is that it's frequently sold out (at least here in Canada).

I've tried unsuccessfully do do this in the past because the silicone would always break in the thin parts after awhile. I imagine that this 'tipless' coupling would radically alter the tonality?

I really like the DDHiFi BC120A I got from Linsoul. They're light and flexible, and don't have memory wire. Only available in 3.5mm afaik.

Depending on what you're listening to and if you have EQ integrated into your playback chain, you can try shelving the bass to combat the rise in distortion. SR1a bass distortion is quite high, based on Crinacle's measurements (I'm not sure what SPL these were taken at): If you can, try...

I can bring my measurement stuff and we can have an Measurement & EQ clinic 😆

We got two whole pizzas, the special and the spicy sausage. My favorite was the latter. The pizzas were very tasty, but the center of the pizza was a bit wet and soggy compared to someplace like Gusto.

Thanks for letting us know @ecwl. Who's still confirmed at this point?
