Ross better have a turntable set up !

Yep. He will indeed have a turntable set up for the meet.

I will be there, even though he no longer has his Maplenoll or Lowthers...

This is the best potato salad I ever made

So I made a bunch more.

I'm really looking forward to having visitors over on Saturday.
There will be plenty of food/drink. The place might not be totally cleaned up but I pushed the disorder out to the margins.

I have the Acoustat 1+1 speakers running on a Krell power amp & they sound fine.

I've set up a second system with my Altec Boleros and a modded Sony Playstation as a source. The amp in tha tsystem will be Kegger's new SE tube rig.

The turntable is acting fiddly but should play fine.

I live next to the Chase bank on Coolidge Ave just south of 10 1/2 mile (Lincoln) in Huntington Woods. If the street's congested, just park in the bank lot.

If we're not answering the door, just let yourselves in & holler (but watch out for the dog!)

See Ya!

The Maplenoll's gone. The guy who bought my Lowther cabs will be here for the meet. He fixed them up really nice.

What cart is on the table you have.

I know squid was telling Keg he could bring his Denon table. Id love to bring some nice vinyl over but am hesitant about putting them down on a fickle table. Would you be open to someone bringing a table over ?

I will be arriving a little later since I'm sitting with the kids till the wife gets home from work. Looking forward to seeing old and new faces as well as trying some of the tater salad..if Any's left

Dave;
The table is a B&O 4002 with a MMC20CL cart. It plays fine and is foolproof. The problem is the arm belt is worn & it needs a nudge to return to rest. It doesn't affect how it plays but it could stymie someone who didn't know that.

I'd be fine with someone bringing a different table. No need to let me know in advance, as it's easy to swap them in and out here.

I have a VPI 16 cleaner set up as well.

See you tomorrow.

Sorry to miss another one guys. I'm sitting here waiting for my daughter to be dropped off.

Another great meeting. Thanks Ross for the beer and snacks and for being such a great host. I sure enjoy these meetings.

Cheers

 

[Bauhausler]

We all must be getting old

because there are 12 untouched beers in the cooler and all of the bottled water, iced tea and pop are empty!
Plus, nothing got broken.

Thanks to everyone who attended today. It was a blast and I made a lot of new friends.
Looking forward to next time!

What an awesome place Ross has. A virtual stereophonic \ potatoe salad emporium! The whole house is a frickin Mancave!!

Lots of great food and drink. A real good turnout. I met some new members and re-acquainted myself with some members I had'nt seen in a while.

I brought an international AK'er, Jim from Corruna, Ontario. He really enjoyed the day. We didn't want to leave.

I got to see a lot of really great Accuphase equipment. A real blast from the past for me.

A big thanks to Rob for spinning the vinyl and educating some newb's on record storage.

Thanks Kegger and Squidward for the ST70 advice. I'm Looking forward to the project.

I didn't get to met Ross's wife but I can assure everyone she is an angel.

Viva SMAC!!

Very good meet. Every time I have been at your house, I feel right at home.

 

[Andyman]

Thanks Ross for another great day of food, drink, music, people, and gear. It was great seeing all the regulars plus meeting a few new folks.
Well done!! :thmbsp:

 

[jmathers]

Yep, many thanks Ross. Huge group of attendees. Was this the biggest ever?

Great food and beverage spread and tons of gear. What more could you ask for?

Just so new folks know - we do not expect hosts to put on a massive spread of food and drink for SMAC meets. If you host, this is NOT an expectation. A few chips and some pop and some tunes are enough.

Ross went above and beyond the call of duty on this one. Many, many thanks for the hospitality, Ross:thmbsp:

Jeff;

I'm really glad everyone had a good time. We've lived here for 8 years and that's the first time that more than 6 guests have been here at one time. It was so much fun I wish we had done it before, and we will do it again.

The food was a compromise with my wife. She heard there would be 'as many as 40' people coming and practically demanded that I roast a hog, ice down a keg of beer, truck in watermelons, etc. I talked her down to cold foods only. In her family, if they like you they feed you. And feed you and feed you...

I'm looking forward to the next meet to resume a dozen half finished conversations.

Cheers
Ross
