Winnipeg meets' thread (Ongoing)

[Armaegis]

Oh come on, only two people (counting me) have filled it out so far? Hop to it people!

 

[AdamAtAdvance]

I love the speaker idea. I'd bring a pair of Paradigm Prestige 15Bs, B&W 805 D3s, and a Moon Ace and Naim Uniti Atom. We need more people!

Poll done!

Listening to nice speakers is a rarity for me, so I would definitely listen.

 

[rifi]

Keep those poll entries coming!
I would gladly find room for gear and speakers in my living room if @AdamAtAdvance brought some gear, or anyone else for that matter. Just let me know in advance so I can plan out space requirements... I will post a list of the gear I already have in a couple weeks so people know what I will have in house.

 

[Armaegis]

I have a couple of nice bluetooth speakers from Vifa, the Helsinki and Copenhagen 2.0.

@Armaegis, sounds great bring any you fancy.

So far it looks like September 8 from 11AM to 4PM will be the date of the meet. That said, September 28 is only one vote behind... I will leave the poll open for one more WEEK for any last minute voting. And in case your schedule has changed I do believe the pool will let you change your submissions.

As for the gear at my place I will make available:
upstairs:
Axiom M22v4 speakers
Pioneer SP BS22 lr speakers
Cambridge CXC transport (TBD)
Raspberry pi 3 b+ running a IQaudIO Pi dac+ (Volumio 2 software)
Dual 1229 turntable
Moon 100D (no USB)
Moon lp110 phono stage
Moon i.5 amplifier (40w into 8 ohms, 80w into 4ohms)
Paradigm PW link preamp

Downstairs:
Mac mini serving files for an HP station
Peachtrees Audio Shift
Dan Santoni headphone amplifier
Mad dogs (w/ alpha pads)
DIY Symphones V7 headphones
Shure 980 (closed)
VModa M100 (wired)

Most of my cables would be occupied connecting this gear so please bring extra cables if you have them.

Happy to also fire up the BBQ if people want to bring some grub.
cheers

Dude, how the heck are you juggling that with work and a new(ish) kid?

 

[Armaegis]

Okay, I've fired off a bunch of PM's. You can only send in batches of 10, and I've got 63 people on my list...

Really, really understanding hard-working partner is my bet.

 

[Awah]

@Armaegis Thanks for PM. I've responded to the poll @rifi set up.

@q2klepto I'd love to listen to the Fostex THX00

 

[Rubin]

Thanks for the pm @Armaegis. I've been busy with family stuff and haven't visited the forum in a long while. Looking forward to meeting up on the 8th!

@Armaegis, thanks!

And thanks for everyone's input. I will shut down the poll later this week and send out invites for the day with the most votes.
