Well I am here in the hotel and just about to go to bed.

checked out the theater for a bit, actually longer then a bit..but still.

its going to be a awesome time when the show starts later today. Todd rolled out some heavy hitting equiment for this.


I finally and smoking and drinking a coffee after two flights and walking around most of the day, and Todd took me around to see what three forks has to offer..hehe

let me tell you these people here dont mess around with the steaks or food. I had a steak that had to be still breathing it was so good, they even give you shrimp salad to..nice! the air around here is so damm clean its not funny. very nice town and awesome people here..


any requests?
I am going to get on my mail for now but will be checking back here for your replys..

I am listening to my new 225's and a loaned sr-71..nice
makes me feel like home sort of.

The plane didn't crash, Billy.

I wish I could've gone to the meet, it sounded like it was going to be seriously awesome. I'll have to come to one of the ones closer to me sometime.

update...well not really but a dumb story that only can come from me...

so I am borrowing todd's sr-71 and using it now in the hotel room with my newly bought 225's and the d-ej2000 with cardas mini inter connect.
well I remember asking Todd if the battries are good and he said "yeah they are"...
so I am really digging this setup and the volume starts going out...lol
now its 3:30am in threeforks montana and I find myself walking in god knows how cold to find and buy some 9 volts..
I walked around about a half a mile and I turned back when I seen a rabbit that was up past my knee..lol haha

ok back to the show...

 

[gloco]

hehe, that's the one thing about living in a small town. You can't find a store to sell you batteries at three in the morning.

Pics! I wanna see tons of pics!

For the money you can not go wrong, simply awesome for the buck of around $1500 (contact Todd for actual price on package or components.). the NAD 542 320Bee amp running into the Nordost flatwire through the epos Ec53 speakers were very nice for their price. I could easily see this setup for the beginner in highend audio, It’s a bang for your buck hear.


Spkr2 thoughts..
Listening through the Fatboy TT running in the xr10b was nice. The center imaging on this setup was the best (as in price and performance.). This was a well heard setup and probably most enjoyed by the attendants the most. We were switching out the Sehring’s with the Mobile Fidelity oml-2 towers. The two speaker pairs where getting a lot of love for their sound and non-intimidating price. The G08 through the stealth preamp was a sound I am well used to very much.

Spkr3 thoughts..
OMG the PASS LABS RUSHMORE speakers where huge, in sound and in price. The pure evil gigantic look of these wood and stone mammoths was a jaw dropping visual, and so was their retail price and sound. The VPI TT didn’t win the stereophile’s award for nothing and I knew that off the bat. The xr10b from RSA was a essential organ for any real vinyl junkie.

Spkr4 thoughts..
Dude when you have the flagship MERIDIAN SPEAKERS AND DIGITAL PLAYER in front of you what else can you ask for?..enough said.

(these were quick thoughts and notes written in the time of the actual show itself, if for any reason I was incorrect on a spelling of price please don’t fret. Any questions about the gear used then ask Todd at ttvj.com)


thanx..

Todd the Vinyl junkie,
It was great to see you and hang out, cant wait till next year.

Headroom,
I never really took a serious look at you people before but I was so in shock from the tour alone that I didn’t say much the whole day after. Thank you Jamie and tyll, I must have your gear soon to play with…lol

Espresso, home baked cookies, great food throughout…I wish you were located in Chicago.

lol your nuts

I am back give me time to hook up my g08>hr2>and my new rs-1's.
also I think I need time to make a espresso and mellow out a bit.

my plane flight back was fun, first I got really sick cause of the pressure from the take off on my teeth, then a flight attendent was hitting on me..to bad HE is not my type...which in turn ruined my chance with Kelly the cutie sitting next to me...arrr
