Summertime in SoCal - for as long as I can remember - has always been filled with fun, celebration and music!
For us Head-Fiers, where there is music, there is personal audio gear. In fact, for years on end, our SoCal Head-Fi Meets - not to mention our regional audio show (T.H.E. Show Newport) - have all been held during the summer months. It made perfect sense. The days are as beautiful as they are long. The nights are warm and never-ending. It was perfect in so many ways!
And while we now have a brilliant show of our own in the form of CanJam SoCal every Spring, I do yearn for the days when summer meant getting together with all of the wonderful friends that I’ve come to know from Head-Fi… to share our gear with one another, to discover new music together, and just to catch up with some truly wonderful people that we don’t see nearly often enough.
Just the other day, a few of us were reminiscing of those summers gone by. Stillhart, mikemercer, Brian Hunter (of Audio-Head) and I were thinking about holding an event or two this summer… to bring that sense of endless fun back to SoCal this summer. And in speaking with Jason Lord of The Source AV, we discovered that he was thrilled to do whatever he could to help. A few hours later, we had a solid plan.
Beginning this coming Sunday (May 15th), there will be an entire series of events all summer long. We’re not talking about one or two events here and there. We’re talking about nine events throughout the entire summer covering everything from headphones, to amps, to DACs, and more — not to mention a few world-exclusive headphone launches thrown in for good measure!
And of course, being the consummate hosts that they are, the guys at The Source AV will be providing refreshments at each event. Each one will be a surprise, but past events have served up Dim Sum, Indian cuisine, endless pizza pies, baked goods, and even an open bar now and then. I’ve never failed to have a good time there, and I’m sure you will too!
So without further ado, Cavalli Audio and The Source AV - along with Audio-Head as our official media sponsor - cordially invite you to The Source AV’s Summer Series 2016!
There are multiple events that highlight different points of interest for us. So whether you’re into portables, or full-sized headphones, or looking for a DAC, or trying to decide between two similar headphones, there’s probably an event for you.
As the official headphone amplification sponsor for The Source AV’s Summer Series 2016, we’ll make sure to have a variety of our reference amps on hand for auditioning sessions. Depending on the event, this may be our Liquid Gold, or our Liquid Crimson, or Liquid Sparks for the portable-related events, or even the Liquid Tungsten for flagship, full-sized headphones.
But you needn’t worry that there won’t be enough variety, since The Source AV proudly carries several familiar brands. So you can also look forward to auditioning amps from our friends at Woo, Questyle, Simaudio, McIntosh, and more!
And of course, you'll also be able to audition a wide variety of gear from Astell&Kern, Enigmacoustics, HiFiMAN, JH Audio, McIntosh, Sennheiser, Stax, UE, Westone and more!
So mark your calendars, come on down, and join us all summer long for a party that never ends!
NOTE: Details for each event will be posted below.
