   It was a good time by all accounts. Thanks for having us. It was a treat meeting Anthony Gallo and hearing his prototype.
   The BlueRay of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame 25the anniversary was very entertaining. Tommy  did the trick with  his Cherry Stereo Amp. Adding the tubes of the VAC Pre tied it all together.
  Good seeing all the guys again. Mike thanks for picking me up and driving. The traffic was insane.

Barry,

     Thank you again for hosting the mini-rave.  You're a great host 8)

   I enjoyed listening to Tommy's and Anthony's latest creations.  As others noted the signature version of the Gallo 3.5's are simply excellent speakers.  I liked Tommy's stereo and mono-block Cherry amps.  The whole house was shaking from the bass :shock:

    Thanks to Paul, Putz, for bringing the DVD's.  Great tunes, especially the Brian Wilson tribute.

     See you all soon; and thankyou again Barry.

                                                             Jim

Thanks everyone for coming by yesterday! I had a great time, but it was tiring, we really did swap a ton of equipment and cables around. Anthony's speakers, Tommy's amps, Pete's power cords, DAC's whew, I was wiped last night, and a bit sore today, but it was all worth it. Thanks to all who brought a little dessert, nosh, or beverage to help nourish the crowd. And also to those who brought some equipment to make the event that much more interesting :thumb:

Best to All, Barry

P.S. as far as pictures go I was way too busy to take any, but Tommy was taking a bunch so hopefully he'll post some soon, if not I'll bug him a bit ;)

Barry I had an awesome time. You have a gorgeous home. What a great experience, Anthony & Tommy, two great manufacturers. The Cherry & the Gallo made for great synergy. Also mixed in was one of my favorite preamps made by VAC.
I think the Gallos like power, they really came to life after adding the Cherry amps.

Thanks for having me!
