Mini Rave, Sunday 7/29...
« on: July 22, 2012, 07:17:20 AM »
Well Guys, my wife and kids will be out of the house, so I figured it was time for a gathering 8)

About a month ago I had my Audio Alchemy amp re-capped, and that added some impact to my system.
Just last weekend Anthony and I upgraded my Reference 3.5 speakers to Signiture status, only the second pair in the world ;) and that's added a good bit of richness and increased dynamics to the mid-range.

I'm a happy audiophool :D

Anthony may come by with some goodies too. [-o<

Not up for a big crowd 10-15 tops, so post here or send me a PM for address and phone info ;)

Just a note that I have gotten a number of PMs but there's still room for a few more ;)

Barry,
I would like to attend, not 100% sure yet, but if I come should I bring the Luxman mono's? 40 watts in triode, but very powerful watts.

Not sure of the sensitivity of the Gallos?maybe SS only?
If they are not too insensitive they might work out, and I would love to hear the Luxes on some other speakers

Sure Mike, bring 'em by, it'll be good to see you. We'll be using a few different speaker set-ups, pretty sure they'll drive my Solos with no problem, and they'll probably drive the Stradas nicely too. Also, Anthony may be bringing some Classicos, and those are also an efficient and easy load.

Mike (Topround),

I know it's a long-shot now, but I left my miles_gurtu disc at your house years ago.

Just in case you still see it kickin around, could you please bring it with you on Sunday?

Thanks very much

-Mike

If someone could bring a pre-amp that'd be good. Not sure what's up, but it seems that amps other than my Audio Alchemy OM150 don't mate well with an Audio Alchemy DLC. Both my Bel Canto and Threshold hum when attached to my DLC. I plugged a tuner directly into the Bel Canto, and there was no hum, but that's not much of a source. I also tried using my Nacamichi receiver as a pre-amp and it also made the Bel Canto hum.
