Title: G2G - Nov. 12th - Princeton NJ - Start Time - 1PM
Post by: shadowlight on September 13, 2016, 05:28:06 PM
Time to have a RAVE with both Lampizator and GTAudio Works (http://www.gtaudioworks.com/).  I am planning the RAVE bit differently this time.  My primary system will remain identical initially and later we can start swapping equipment in and out of the setup.

Primary System Located in Basement

Speakers: Zu Audio Druid V (http://www.zuaudio.com/loudspeakers/druid)
Amp: Triode Lab / Finale 2a3 SET (http://www.triodelab.com/2a3-set/) (Sovtek / Shuguang 2a3, RCA/GE/Russian NOS 6sn7/6hc8, 5v4/gz32 rectifier tube)
Amp: Response Audio 3205 Extreme (el34/kt88/kt77/6550 power tubes, 12ax7 and 12at7 as preamp, phase splitter)
Amp: Folsom Audio 7297 (http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=138229.msg1556573#new) DIY amp
Preamp: 4P1L (https://simplepleasuretubeamps.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/radus-implementation-of-the-siberian-4p1l-gen3-designed-by-ale-moglia/) DIY Preamp or Gary Dodd Unity 6H30pi Preamp
DAC: Lampizator Gen4.5 with DSD128 and 384K PCM
PC Audio Receiver: Either a Win10 or Linux system running Signalyst NAA (Network Audio Adapter)
Audio Music Player: Win10 based Signalyst HQPlayer converting everything over to DSD128 (the server has enough juice left to upconvert everything over to DSD256 or potentially DSD512)
CD/SACD - Pioneer Elite DV59ai

The second set of speakers will be in the family room and they are going to be GTAudio Works speakers.
I will let Fred (Gopher) or Rob provide information the Lampizator equipment that they will bring along and Greg @ GTAudio Works about the speakers and equipment that he will be bring.

Couple of house rules - no alcohol or meat dishes will be served and please take off your shoes (feel free to bring house shoes/sandals).  You break the rules I end up in the dog house and no more events  :nono:

Even though the event is listed in the NY Audio RAVE it is open to everyone.  Either send me a pm or post in the thread so I can have a head count.

If Greg is bringing the GTA3-R's with the servo subs, you should have a great listening session.

Got to spend 3 days with them at CAF2016 and really enjoyed the time.

Deepak,
Would love to, but the travel budget after RMAF and the new tweeters is shot. 

Thanks for the invite!  Hope to come up again for one in the future.

Thanks for hosting this event, Deepak! I know we will have a great time.

I'll likely bring an Atlantic, as I know that's a piece people are curious about and also a new Amber 2 and likely a Golden Gate. We'll also plan on lugging over a Komputer or two.

Should be a great time. I hope to see many of you there!

Fred

Of course deepak has the final word if a free range, vegan chicken with no facial hair is allowed to attend the rave.

Me.. I'm bringing free range vegan veal....the good stuff! My veals are too young to have facial hair, we filet them in their prepubescent prime!

Hi Deepak,

      No I haven't bought a Tavish Design amp.  Scott Reynolds and his son do make a great product.  I've heard it twice at Connecticut Audio Society meetings. 

Here's a link for anyone interested:

Shek

I said I won't have any exotic hi-fi gear to bring.  I'm switching gear lately.  Well, I've been playing with photography for some years, so I'm looking into some little more serious cameras, like mirrorless medium format cameras. Hasselblad.... which is like the McIntosh.  Of course just looking.  Don't want to spend $30K for just a camera body.  Now, Fuji will be coming out with a poor man's medium format camera I heard, only $10K (body only)..... 

Not spending $$ on audiophile stuff now, but may have to blow some bucks on a Fuji camera :rofl: :duh :yay2:??? Doing like what Topround is doing.

We'll have fun again at Deepak's. aa
Title: Re: RAVE - October 22nd - Princeton NJ - Start Time - 1PM
Post by: topround on September 19, 2016, 08:34:05 PM
At least photography gets you outside sometimes :thumb:
It's great to be outside and active, especially as we get older.

As we all sense our mortality these days, for me the idea of sitting in a chair listening to music, seems like a waste of precious life.
Doing something while listening to music is another story.
I have enough gear to sell to build 3 or 4 systems, sometimes I get the urge to put a system together, the urge lasts about a day.!

Shek music and music appreciation is so much more than a pile of gear, so go out there and take some pictures, pictures of life...

I rekindled an old hobby...hiking, and i guess at this moment in my life it means so much to me to be able to be outside, active and vigorous, to go to places that require a lot of effort with a big payoff!

When you take time off from the audio hobby it sort of focuses how silly it really is, it gives you perspective,  you look at all the money you spent and wasted,  selfishly,and makes you realize what is important in life, and trust me the audio hobby isn't it!
My love of music has grown exponentially, because I listen to music now, not sounds. I still have the ability to critically analyze a system, I just don't care to anymore because there are more important things to do as we get older, more important things to appreciate in life...
So maybe when you are old and cannot walk then it might be time to sit  in a chair and just listen to music, perhaps even challenge the mind and become a critical listener, but while you have life in your blood and movement in your muscles...use them to enjoy life
so get out there and capture the images that mean something to you!
Better to buy that $5K camera body and use it to live life than that $5k power cord to measure your weenie with!

Topround

I'm beginning to sense a bit of condescension from you here on this forum to us who still enjoy this hobby.
It is quite possible to hike, take pictures or whatever other hobby you might have and still pursuit to joys of music and high fidelity.
What people spend their money on for their own pleasure is their business. Whatever floats their boat as they say. telling them the money they spent is a waste is quite rude.

To be honest, you needed to take a break from this hobby when you began auditioning capacitors of all things :duh

So lighten up a bit. Enjoy your hike and let us fools enjoy ourselves here in peace.

Post by: topround on September 20, 2016, 06:52:52 PM
capacitors? That was childs play
the choke shoot out was most memorable! Slagle winding chokes in my kitchen, now that was fun! we had 9 chokes! I bet no one else did a choke shootout,,,,ever!  crazy good.

Emil sorry to offend, none was intended, especially to you.

My desire to play with what is inside components is just an extension of others playing with trying different components.
What are components but a set of circuits decorated with resistors and capacitors, so changing the internals is sort of like changing components just a different level of craziness, and to be honest the designers are probably , hopefully doing this as well.!

Ah remember the good old days when we did this for fun?
The rave was a time for exploration and education and no one had any skin in the game, no one was looking for profit from their hobby, they all had jobs, and this was for fun..

I remember when my wife was pregnant with my first son, we went back to church, we felt blessed and wanted to be part of the church.
In the beginning it was great, people saw new blood and welcomed us, we felt warm, cozy and welcome into this new family of love...it was great!
Then...oh yes there is always the then....they wanted money....and more money......then the politics.....suddenly the church became a very less holy place...God was replaced by people....and profit.

This similar experience happens in audio, at least it happened to the rave, that is why the rave is dead, that is why religion is dead, except for the Muslims...who really like their religion!  with zest one can say..oh boy!

So I am not trying to rain on anyones parade here, of course you all have the right to spend, do, not spend, not do, whatever you like, without anyone judging you, and I am not judging anyone, God I have been to the mountain myself! I just want to offer a different perspective, offered by one who has been to the mountain. No pun intended, and do you like how I used you all, I like that, something Hillary would do...
so.... I have to take a salt bath and do some yoga right now, so when these raves become about learning about new things without the hard sell, please open your heart and invite me, because for me that is what I lament most about the raves, the fun, the comraderie, (spelling?),and the chance to learn.
Tone is something that digital cannot do, so please understand my tone is not one of condescencion, more lamentation of days gone.
Some people say the days of high end coming to an end, and to be honest they probably are, we are the last of our kind, the next generation has no interest in expensive powercords or cartridges , it is about ease of use.
So when you see the prices going thru the roof that is a sure sign it is going to end...and it ends with us...we are the last of our kind...for now
Mike

So you're a Muslim now Mike? I knew it. That's why nobody has seen you - you grew a full beard I bet. Someone told me you were selling the Thumann's route delivering meat and starting a chicken and rice and falaffel lunch truck. This sound sneakily suspicious to me.

Deepak, watch out if a big truck with the letters PARV pulls up in front of your rave. It could be Sheik Topround with a bomb in the back.
 :roll:

Mike, the audio terrorist. Remember, just because it says GE 300B on the box doesn't mean it isn't rigged to blow up.

I certainly wish I lived around the NY/NJ area to attend one of these events. Sounds like a great time. :D

In regard to Topround's comments, I love music and its goes with me everywhere and with everything I do.

I love drag racing and building hot rods. My garage is filled with the sounds of jazz music as I wrench away on the cars. No boom boxes allowed in the garage!  :x Good quality left overs from my house systems. The tow vehicle P/U truck) and the Galaxie both have nice sound systems to pass the hours as we cruse down the road.

So good quality music and outdoor activities can go together.

Be gone , unclean spirit. Be gone I say!

Mike,

Apology in advance for quoting selected parts of your message.

I still think the rave is part of education for me (get to listen to new music), since I got a late start to listening to music on a good system around 2005 or so, when I attened the first rave @ Phil's holiday season party.  The other reason for hosting is to catchup with friends who I have not seen for a long time.  As for the "hard sell" I hope non of the raves that I have hosted has turned into a hard sell from any of the manufactures that have attended and if they did I was not aware but I would like to apologize for it.

As for the digital v/s analog discussion, I will leave it up to listner and their preferences.  Personally, I tried the analog but my listening habits (~1 hr per day) did not lend itself to ritual needed for analog.

I think you need to come join us.  The basement system is going to stay the same until midday and then we will start swapping the equipment around.  Their is a person on AC who is bringing his DIY based 4P1L based amp so he can have a listen with the Zu's.  I will have a 7297 based DIY amp and possiblely a 3118 based DIY amp also.

they just keep getting better AND better, trust me set up right with the right gear you are done!
Best of show all the time, they blew me away so much natural resolution, huge scale speed out your ass, tone to die for, silly great
the best shit is right under our own noses

The 66 Barracuda will run 9.90 steady. 426 stroker (360 original) with 12.5-1 compression.  :thumb:

The 68 Galaxie is a solid mid 12 second boat with a stroked 390. Set up more for cruising than speed, but it takes 400+ HP  to move this 4000 lb. tuna boat.  :D

The GT Audioworks GTA3-R's at CAF2016 were very good indeed.  They work very well with the 2x12 OB H-Frame servo subs.

All these new (used) records from PREX and nothing to play them on. Break out the Crosley Dee.

My son is a Junior this year as well, and the time to start is now. Unless you like waiting until the last minute, or already have a solid idea about the type of school they're looking for. There is much to consider; Size, Location/Distance from Home, Broad or Narrow Focus, Competitiveness. Happy to chat about it.

My Daughter is now a sophomore at TCNJ. She had been granted nearly a full scholarship to the Honors School at Ramapo, Honors Dorms, Honors Classes, bunch of perks. But after hanging out on the two campuses a couple of times, eating in the cafeteria, talking to current students, etc. She decided on TCNJ over Ramapo, it's costing me quite a bit more, but she felt she fit in better there. She's happy, and has made the Deans List every semester so far, so I imagine the extra money is worth it and have no complaints with her decision.

If you'd like to talk about my experiences, I'd be happy to meet you at a diner or coffee shop one evening.

Unfortunately, Charles has lost both of his parents over the course of the last 6 months. He has been "laying low" for a while for obvious reasons stated here.  :(

Thx Guys, had a great time yesterday.  

Would like to thank Clayton, Lukasz and Merrill along with Fred and Rob for bring / loaning equipment for the event.

If you have any pictures please post them.  I never got around to taking any pictures  :duh.

I really enjoyed listening to the Spatial with Thor mono blocks and Lampizator Atlantic DAC with volume control at the end of the day for few minutes.  The Spatial's filled up the family room complete which is open to kitchen area.

Should have made a better effort to listen to the Zu's being driven by 211 mono blocks but from some of the comments I over heard from few of the attendees was they sound good after few adjustment with speaker placement.

Edit: Comment by my daughters related to Spatial after I set them up.  Can we buy them, they sound good  :thumb:
