Hugh, would love to try them out. I use 211 based rebuilt Consonance amps with Pipedream speakers. Please place me on the tour for NYC, thanks. Maybe we could plan around one of our  Audiosyndrome club meetings [ third Friday of the month] and feature the amp. Two birds one stone.


And close to the NY ravers for a hand off. I

Very cool! Thanks.. Sounds like a good idea to set up a demo and have some fun.  I'd be interested to hear what tubes do in my room... and of course, enjoy the warmth of that glow. :)

Carl, we have Blue Shift Audio, an Angel City Audio dealer right here in Fuquay Varina, NC, not 10 miles from me.

He might want to come to a g2g, or host one himself, or bring the equipment, or whatever.

That PM845 does look very cool... or is it hot?  8)  70W SEPP.   :thumb:
I really enjoy listening to music.

Guys,

I'm thinking about doing 2 things at the same time.

First, we are scheduled to have Melody MK88, our new entry level integrated amp. and our Trinity LCR trio at a gtg in Seattle the weekend of January 29 which we could forward to  the first stop of the tour on the East Coast as a gtg at someone's home.

During that East Coast gtg, we could also send a pair of M845 if you guys so desire.

After the gtg, we can forward the MK88 & Trinity to the next person on the tour list.

What do you guys think?

Please feel free to add your comments/inputs so we all can enjoy a little gtg together.

Thanks all,
Hugh Nguyen

Correction :  MY bad, it's Derek and not Tim. :)

Tim is in Ohio of East Street Audio.

Thanks D.

After being screwed by SHM, I'm not the same man I once was. :D
Yes, Tim is one of our dealers and a good guy to boot. :)

Hugh,

Are you personally bringing the Trinity and Melody products to East Coast?  You can visit family while in the area  :thumb:

D,

You really make me work, don't you? ;) :)

Remember that I am an old skinny guy so I can't handle the cold. :D

Heck yeah, I am going to make you work.  If you can handle Seattle in Jan., you shouldn't have any issues with NY city weather in Mid to late Feb/early March  :rofl:.

Well, I guess I'll find out since I'd never been to neither places. :)

My only concern is the cost of shipping speakers and amps around on tour. I would guess $200 per stop, insured, for the 2 speakers and 3 amps.  If Derek plans to stock them anyway, that would be the easiest way for the NC gang to hear them.  Next summer I will have SET friendly passive speakers built, but that's a little way off. Most of our speakers in NC are pretty hungry.

Rich,

Your concern is valid.

Shipping PM845 will be expensive since they are heavy.

Whichever way you guys want, I'm here to accommodate. :)

If I had compatible speakers, I might pay $200 to audition PM845....

I once heard another brand's 50W 845 SEPP amp, costing twice as much, but probably best amp I ever heard.

I haven't done any tours, but wouldn't the person who is auditioning and reviewing the item pay for shipping either to or from his location?

Rich,

The PM845 is now residing in my reference setup along with Pure Black 101 Pre. :)

Well, may be we'll have a gtg near you so you can hear for yourself.

Typically, one pays for sending the goods to the next person in the tour.
