Last minute Mini-Rave Saturday 11/12
« on: November 11, 2011, 02:54:45 PM »
Well I should do yard work, but I guess I could do that Sunday...

If some guys would like to come over and hear my AudioAlchemy Gallo Reference set up I'll be home. We could also set up a second system up in the living-room, I've got my Gallo Solos up there driven by an old Nakamichi Reciever. But I've got a spare amp and pre-amp we could put there or we could swap other stuff in and out.

I'm less than a mile from exit 165 on the GSP, let me know if your interested and I'll PM my address.

Yeah, no soccer, they're in FL. School was only open for 1.5 days this week, so my wife took the kids to visit her sister :)

Had a great Gallo time at Barry's.  Barry is like "single" again today, so he decided to throw a rave.  Just 5 people.  That's why it was such fun.  We had a rave, and we shot the breeze also, over beer, pizza, and homemade salad. 

Listened to Barry's Gallos up close.  I always liked the Gallo speakers.  The unusual looks?  Well, not bad, unconventional, but never outrageous.  It's the sound that matters, Stupid!  So I was told, and that's why we had a great time.

Barry has a tremendous collection of DVDs, Blu-Rays, CDs...... Besides having rave fun, I learned one thing today.  My music collection, while not as extensive as Barry's, has become very disorganized.  I tried to segregate them into 2 major groups, classical and non-classical.  No good.  Barry arranges all his CDs and DVDs in alphabetical order, disregarding genre.  That's what I learned today.  Simply.  Just one ball of wax, and yet in alphabetical order by title.  Just this tidbit learned today was worth the trip.  Nice day, Nice house, nice people, nice music, and a 100+ inch movie screen!  Thanks again, Barry. aa

Had a great time being able to sit down with Pumpkinman Bill, his other significant half Cathy, Mike F.... A good time was had by all.  I had to leave early.  Sure the party is likely still on as I finish this posting.  Couldn't have been nice company visiting, right Barry?  Home Alone can't be more fun.

Sorry I'm responding so late but I had a busy day on Sunday as I told Barry. Many thanks to Barry for putting up with me once again. Barry has some interesting music and I learned a few things from him.  :thumb: Was very nice to see Shek and Mike F a small gathering for sure but still a great time.
Thanks again Barry...............Bill

Ah, Barry, I always thought Anthony's speakers are that unconventional in shape.  I just saw in ABS (ad) the Classico CL-3.  Now, that's a "boxier", more conventional speaker, as we the uninformed know how speakers should look like :lol:.  Regardless, beautiful, in my favorite color too :rofl:.  Are you getting that anytime soon?  I'll be over in a flash when that happens (as I know, you're a Gallo die-hard!) :thumb:.
