Can we organize a bus station for all GTA'ERS / North Yorkers to meet at so we can all get on the bus together, and off together so we're not lost.

BTW, philodox, I'm going to send you a pm in a minute.

Next person that sends me a PM instead of an email as the instructions clearly state will be herefor banned from the proceedings.

I'm not a huge believer in cables, so I didn't bother to include mine. But don't worry, I think I'm smart enough to bring cables to be able to plug in my source to my amp, yeesh.

I'm interested in coming...email to come!

I am only about 3-hours away...problem is getting time off work. But, we'll see

I want to hear some tube amps with my Grado 225's

Jay, I dont' know the layout or space of your place, but I was wondering...would it be possible to have a dedicated listening room? (no talking allowed) Distractions were an issue at the last meet, and this would greatly improve people's listening. Tables with chairs facing the walls would be good too, less distracting with coming and goings. It's kind of a lot to hope for, but could be very

Stop PMing Jason...

We have one... maybe two. If you check out the impressions from previous meets you will see reference to 'the sauna'. We usually keep my office closed and there is a quiet rule in effect. Thankfully there is an air conditioner in there now, so we can have that running whenever possible to cut down on the heat. [I know that some will want to shut it down when listening.]

The second is my bedroom. If everyone agrees to let the cats roam, we can make this a dedicated listening room as well.

Hi Jason,
Is there any room for new members? I’ve been a lurker for the last 3 years, but I got posting just recently. I have a HD580, PX100, ER-6i, a Sony DNF-430B pcdp and a recent built cmoy: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=182805

 

[philodox]

Of course, everyone is welcome.

 

[kryss]

Thank you, I will confirm in a couple of days.
Do you think a RadioShack SPL meter will be useful for the meeting?

What do you use to power your Polks? I have 2xRti70/1xCSi40/2xFXi30/2xCSi30 and a SVS 20-39 PC+ powered by Yamaha rx-v2400.

 

[kryss]

Sorry, double post

It can't hurt to bring it, the SPL could be used interestingly to compare sound levels each of us prefer, and if the younger really do listen louder

Fun audio gadgets are always a good thing. We might be music lovers first, but most of us are also techy geeks. Don't be surprised if you catch someone doing some last minute soldering.

The more the better. If any of you use power conditioners I would suggest bringing them as well since my appartment building doesn't have the greatest power.

Actually, I'm scared that if we plug surge protectors into surge protectors, we might overload a few of them, and secondly we might get really ditry power if we were to connect something like 3 surge protectors to eachother. Anyway, I have some things that split the wall (also surge protected, but rated for less joules), are those fine?

PS, I'll bring the soldering iron if somebody else brings the solder.

I think I'll bring a multimeter too

[philodox]

We'll just make a one power strip per outlet rule...

I have around 13 pairs of outlets in my place. We should be fine.

PS. Don't bother with the multimeter and soldering iron. I've got both covered. My soldering iron is a POS though, so if anyone expects that they will need to do any advanced work... it might be wise to bring their own.
