Sounds good Mark, hope you can make it! I'm hearing that there are going to be a couple of Sansui super tuners there: SuiDog's TU-9900 and Susurus's TU-X1. :drool::ntwrthy::thmbsp:
 
I'll try to bring my fancy Modified Cubic Quad indoor antenna. Maybe we can have a Tuner shoot out. If the guys are up for that I will big my ringer a 1964ish Scott 312 Broadcast tuner it uses a Hybrid circuit both tubes (nyvisters) and point to point wired SS amplifier section.

I'll have both 300 ohm and 75 ohm connecting cables.
 
Guess I will just leave my lowly TU-517 at home. Should have never sold my TX-9800II, but I wanted a black face to go with the rest of my equipment.
 
Shoot out

Doesn't compare with Steve's TU-X1 though.

I'd almost bet that if that 517 is in good form, using the same antenna, we could do a test, see if you can really reliably tell the differance in tonal quality between the TU-X1 and the TU 517.
Probably be a big differance in selectivity, DX etc. And the X1 will look cooler, but a local station, same antenna, and amp etc I bet $10 that a majority can't tell which is which after say 5 mins listening.
Don't get me wrong, that is on my short list of toys I gotta have before I die.

Casey:yes:
 
I'm new to the group here but live close by in Ridgefield, WA.

I've got a pair of Altec 19's and a pair of Altec 604's that I could bring.

Looking forward to meeting the rest of you.:yes:
 
Not too far from Portland, sounds good. If I don't sell it in the mean time, I could bring my TU-888 for the showdown, it's probably nowhere NEAR the X-1, but I think it could give the 517 a run for its money. Would KMHD come in up there?
 
This is the setup that I'm going to bring:

Preamp: Yamaha C-1 (EW)
Amp: Yamaha B-2x (NakDoc)
CD Player: Yamaha CDX-1120
Speakers: Revel M20 Monitors

Sounds like it oughta sound good!:D

Myself, I'm hoping to bring some sort of golden age JBLs and either a fully restored Marantz or a Denon setup to run them with.
 
I think I might bring my original Yamaha interconnects I got with my B-2x/C-2x combination. Sold the pair but still have the 4 patch cables. Also might bring this new General Hi-Fi thing I just ran across.
