Title: Audio Gathering - Oct. 27th - Princeton NJ - Start Time - 1pm
Post by: shadowlight on August 11, 2018, 01:35:53 PM
Everyone is invited to Audio Gathering at our place in Princeton, NJ. If you would like to attend please post in the thread or send me a PM. If you are coming from out of town and need a place to stay look for hotels in 08540 or 08852.

I would like to thank Lampizator, Pure Audio Project, Hattor Audio for providing equipment and Qobuz for providing access to Hi-Res streaming service for the event.  I would also like to thank Nick for allowing me to post the thread about the gathering on AudioNervosa forum.

Equipment on hand for the gathering is still being finalized but here is my understanding on what is likely to make an appearance for folks to listen to.

Lampizator - Pacific Dac (https://www.lampizatorpoland.com/pacific-dac)

Let us not forget that D's home is only a short ride away from PREX, which opens at 10 AM for your shopping pleasure., which leaves you plenty of time to fill a few bags before the 1PM gathering time.   8)

I have put this on my calendar and hopefully nothing will come up between now and then that would prevent me from attending.

Hi Deepak,

Count me in. I hadn't seen that mid/tweet configuration before in a PAP product.

If there's room and balanced outs I'd like to give my new Megaschino a spin - It's sublime.

Mike,

It is likely to be crazy since the invite also went out to NJ and NY Audio Society, so if possible I would like to avoid swapping equipment when majority of the folks are here.  If at the end of the day we still have the equipment around we can swap stuff in and out.

I added you to the list.  Let me know if anyone else is coming with you.

Even though the event information is listed in NY Audio Rave section it is open to anyone who wants to attend.

Charlie (@rollo) can you pass the invite along to Audio Syndrome members also.

Qobuz has agreed to provide demo account for the event, so we will have lots of music to try in Hi-Res.

I would like to thank David Solomon (Qobuz - Cheif Hi-Res Music Evangelist) for making it possible.

These audio nut gatherings are getting rarer.  Look forward to seeing friends again at Deepak's. :drool:

We are about a month away.  If you are planning to attend can you let me know please.  Doing so will make it easier for me to ensure that we do not run out of food and drinks.  Running out of food and drinks is my worst nightmare about hosting the event.

Thanks

I have sent out the relevant information to everyone who had said they planned to attend.  If I missed anyone please let me know.  We currently have 70 folks confirmed to be attending.

Thanks Deepak :thumb:.  This'll be another great gathering I'm sure. 

Now, I have to make an announcement.  I anticipate to be there, of course.  So.... I just came up with some (the last?) of my 45 RPM vinyl pieces.  I don't play with vinyl anymore, so I should perhaps give them to someone who's still in the game.  So, the first vinyl fanatic to contact me I will give him/her the discs.  About 80-90 pieces I think.  They're all tunes from the 50's through the 70's?, all in excellent to never-played condition.  I recall I stopped buying 45's around the time when Donna Summer came on the scene (disco).  That was the 70's?    These therefore are real oldies, so old that nobody may want them......  For example - Kathy Linden to Bonnie Tyler, or Harry Chapin, Beach Boys..... :rofl:

Thanks Deepak for a great gathering.  Fantastic equipment.  I don't listen to open baffle designs too much, so this time it's another eye opener.  Fantastic designs.

Feel better Mike.  Not sure about purchasing PAP.  I would like to but I need to sell some of the other stuff off first before I can do that.  I might be putting a lot of gear on sale to see if I can swing picking up a pair.  I am going to CAF and NY Audioshow and listen to the PAP with Horns (hopefully they will have those playing).
