Don't Panic!
I really would like to join all of you, but to get a day off in my job I have to request many months in advance. I work every Fri-Sat-Sun. I really wanted to bring my Carver m1.0t and see if we could do a couple of monoblocks on those Fraziers! 1000watts into each might be just enough sound energy. Y'all have fun, hear?

...smaller but very fun gathering this afternoon - pictures
Well a much smaller turnout this year but a great group and I had a very fun time. and thanks to Casey for noticing when the rain hit, it was a sudden cloudburst and he scrambled to save several boxes of records and cover the gear table. :thmbsp:
Rain on August 24th - $%@# The weather did not allow moving the Fraziers into the yard but we gave them a good listen in the bunker, and the general verdict was that these are keepers. I drove them with a McIntosh MC2505 - Rick/Klownschool suggested something with drums, we put on LedZeppelin II You Shook Me.
It was great meeting Will/Sir.Byrd and his dad. Those neon speakers are awesome.
Rick came with his large truck and a blue tarp, and we (well Rick and Frank/Magnetron) did the transfer of the second pair of Fraziers.
The initial report from Rick is that the Fraziers made it home safely and are installed in his living room. He has a large outdoor deck looking over acreage, and I think his summer parties will never be the same.

Thanks for the quick saves, Will! I was really glad that the boxes of LPs got in out of the downpour right away. :thmbsp:
As always, it was great seeing new faces and old friends, and talking audio, as well as catching up on the latest buying and selling.
One of my favorite moments at the gathering was when Frank / Magnetron arrived and met Sir.Byrd. ...right away he recognized Will because he had picked up a Kenwood KT-5300 and amp from him a week earlier. ...and THAT KT-5300 tuner had started out with Casey / nosirrah, then I sold it to Will earlier this summer on Casey's behalf. round and round goes the gear! it's all good karma!

yeah that was totally weird.
Now I don't feel so bad that he talked me down on my price.
