Hi,

I might be able to host the Jan 2011 Dec 2010 Rave. I am not sure if there is interest in my systems - nothing fancy or esotheric. You can bring your DACs and source to try out. It would be more to get together.

 Let me know.

Systems.

Legacy Classic Speakers, Mark Levinson 332 amp, PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC, Nobu Tablet as source(Date from NAS). All 99.995% silver cabling.

Dali 400 MkI (NOS) Speakers, Audio Experience A1 (YS Audio from HK) Tube pre-amp, Proceed HPA2 Amp, TerDak Terlink2 USB to optical SPDIF, Beheringer 2496 as DAC, HP computer as source (Data from NAS)

Legacy Classic (original) speakers, McIntosh C710 Pre-amp, McIntosh Mc150 Amp - Used as HT but I can hook this up as a digital system easily.

Seems to me like you've got some pretty nice systems/equipment, and I'd love to give 'em a listen.

Best, Barry

Sorry for the long delay in responding. Here are all the answers. Sorry if I left anyone out.

Legacy speakers do very well. They are not terribly well known. I locked on to them , believe it or not, 14 years ago.

I did not get the bridge for the PS Audio Perfect way. I did not think it was worth it. What I did was to get a Tablet PC and I use the USB output from that. I use Media Monkey  on the tablet PC with asio driver as the media manager. I felt this was much better then the bridge which was expensive and the display hard to read. I also got 1 Terbyte NAS drive that has DLNA capability so I can centralize the information from anywhere. The tablet PC also allows remote access. I have not set this up, however I will be able to access this from any other table PC or smart phone anywhere in the hour or another computer to manage the music playing.

I am located in NJ, midway between 78 and 80 just off 287. It is about 40 minutes from NYC, Suffern, New Hope/Lambertville and Princeton.

The wife/Boss suggessted that I have the Rave on Dec 11th. Sorry for the change. We will make this a Christmas event as well. Start around 12pm, till 5-6pm. Which ever works for you. I am trying to get some Channel Island Digital amps, hopefully they are here by then. It will be fun to try USB DAC's.

BTW, I use my Prefect Wave DAC as a pre-amp, trying to reduce the signal path to as little components as possible.

Hope to see everyone here.

Evan, don't scare the new guy!!!  :duh

Ravers are always respectful of a hosts time wishes  :thumb:

With that said, a few of the die-hard ravers sometimes rave into the wee hours of the night, if the host is amicable to the occurrence.
It usually is the best listening ;)

I got the new cigar box with volume controls, this time the Bent remote kit!

Very nice

I could bring that over for a listen, very slick looking!
System consists of an amp a preamp, 2 speakers a turntable and a phono preamp, Also some cables and power cords and a really cheap cd player.
