Has anybody heard from Meech, lately.
He has not posted since January 2nd, and didn't answer my PM. I hope he is alright.

Since I'm so overloaded with stuff to burn in, Lan is helping me by continuing the Flute burn. I'll bet he'll start conducting the symphony tonight!

There are already a few products present and past similarly-named, but is this the start of an expanding trend of equipment being named for music and musical instruments? Piccolo, Flute, Coda, Overture ... Quartetto cables ... Cello Pallette ... Grado Sonata ... Symphony No. 1 Amp ... some more, but not all that many.

How about: Concerto Grosso? Harp? Lyre? Viola d'Amore? Stradivarius? Guagnieri? Crumhorn? Sacbut? Shawm? Oboe/English Horn/Bassoon/Contra-Bassoon? Clavichord? Dulcimer? Partita? Suite? Etude? Rondo? Chaconne? PDQBach? Left-handed Sewer Flute? etc. etc. and so forth. Sounds nice. Maybe that would inspire engineers to make audio equipment sound more musical.

bozebuttons, is it feasible to fashion a HE60 to KGSS adaptor in 2 days? Probably not.... but thought I'd ask anyway.

I think it'll be sad with HEV70.

Tom's has one Stax output and one HE-90 output. Mine only has one Stax output. The HE-60 adaptor is for a Stax jack.

Hey guys. How's everyone been ????
I haven't been here in a few weeks so I'm totally lost on what's going on.

Anyway, is anyone taking public transportation from Manhattan. Maybe we could hook up and ride out together. Let me know.

Belated Happy New Year!

Jahn, Lan and I will meet as follows:

Looks like we didn't fix an exact time.

Hey Jahn & Lan ... pick a time!

Sadly, Drew's Super Maxi Moy Signature will have to be scratched from the meet! When it arrived at my office yesterday afternoon, either the amp or the ELPAC PS was defective and both promptly burned out, along with a couple of 9Vs when I tried it without the PS at home last night. I only got to hear it for a few seconds -- it sounded really weird and died quickly.

The Super Mini Moy sounds better than the one I heard (briefly) at the Nov. NYC meet. The Ascent Signature is very different than Drew's other amps. Very big sound and sound space, very warm sound (don't yet know if it's had any burn in...).

None of the pieces he sent looked distressed, but the outer box did look like it had been severely trounced! Perhaps something in the amp was jostled severely enough for a couple of bare metal points to touch and short? In an case it was really hot and smelled like burned components. Lucky the batteries didn't explode!

Sincerest sympathy to Drew for the strange demise of Maxi!

Hmm yeah probably it makes sense to ariive around 1pm - so let's meet up at Mickey D's at noon so we can catch the 12:22 train. i'll be arriving a bit earlier just to score tix for myself and i'll see you all there!

 

[lan]

True but there is a lot of gear and things like tables to move and such. It might not make sense for 1 or 2 people to do that which would prolong setup time. And there's also the warm up time on the gear since it's freezing outside. All of which might shorten actual audition time.

Aaron, let us know what may work best.

Taking the 12:22 would be fine. It would get you to my house at 1:00, no problem. We have 5 hours. We can go back to listening after we fill our bellies at 5pm. I won't kick anyone out at 6 (like Mr. Clean did, in November).

I have a lot of things to do in the a.m.

LIRR guys...Make sure you buy your tickets in the station...they charge a fee on the train. And get round trip tickets, they are cheaper (so you can spend the money on more gear).

Looking forward to seeing all my "same-interest/passion" friends, again before May.

Do we have a place for May?
