Ok, time.for a headcount, who will be attending the meet next week?

GTA guys, lets arrange carpool. The start time is 1pm, so the departure time 11-12 depending on location.

No red flags for me so far.  As long as everything goes ok at work I will be attending.  Unfortunately I have nothing to contribute since you either own or have owned everything I will be bringing.
About the most I can do is offer to document the event with my crappy camera.

Thanks, however it appears there might be something else happening for me, I will let you know closer to the date (say friday) if I can join. I very much appreciate the car pool offer however.

Think about others as well!!
Sounds like Brian is going to be the ultimate auditioner of our gear.
 
I'm interested in everything Canadian made so don't forger to put your Resonessence Labs Concero in a pocket.

90% sure I can go.

I might bring "something weird".

Why I from from Russia?  (((

 

[stjsmi]

Unfortunately I'm living out west now but would have come other wise. Nice so see since Canadian meets

 

[Dan S]

I'd like to come, if there's still a spot. What kind of gear will be there already? I could probably bring a couple of things. Cool that there's something in the area! Thanks for hosting!

Chris,
 
Is it a DIY something weird?

 
I gave this MOSFET buffer (+/-18V rails) a go this past week, but it's a smidge too smooth without enough bass impact.
Might try power JFETs next.  This setup definitely makes a nice little space heater for the winter with the heatsink getting too hot to touch in around 5 seconds.

Weird is good, bring whatever it is!

You're welcome to come!

You can read my signature/profile for the gear I have. I'm not sure what others will bring....

Err....no! It's nothing that ambitious!
I'd like to see the schematic of your buffer.
Looks like an ultra filtered power supply!
Looks like a single ended Class A unity gain buffer, you probably don't like the second order harmonic distortion.

Weird is good, bring whatever it is!

It's just a pair of Vintage Sennheiser HD424 headphones converted into balanced operation!

 

[greyhorse]

Chris,
 
You would be right on all counts regarding the circuit topology.
The schematic below is what I built.  Exceptions are that the power supply caps are all 18,000 uF, and the rails are +/-18V.
It's a pretty massive power supply considering I originally bought the parts to build an Aleph 3 or one of the Zen variations projects.

Due to receiving only a couple of firm commitments to attend I'm cancelling the meet. Maybe I'll try again in the spring.
