Upstate NY meetup

[cplyons]

UPDATE November 30 - more folks have signed on!

Rod asked me to get those expecting to attend to confirm with me via PM. Here is the list of the 15 guys who so-far confirmed that way:

xratedpez
cc43fan
shacky
bktheking
alleykat
skspider
secret4mula
booangler
booangler's son
tube-it
cplyons
edriz
truck99
sully1801
hionfi

...I'm pretty sure many of the guys who signed up via this thread will be there too, but getting that extra confirmation will make Rod's life easier on the planning. It would be great to hear (again) from:


wlhd1610
conradh
clarkson
sirianni

Gimme a shout if you’re still coming! If all these guys make it too we’re 19 strong. Looking good.

I keep digging up stuff to audition. If there's interest I might stage a little CD vs vinyl vs FLAC showdown.

 

[cc43fan]

8 days to go...

 

[hionfi]

Hionfi is in a mall but we have a back door so you wont have to enter the mall. I'll post a map this week so you know where you're going. With the back door it will be easy to bring your gear in. This will be a lot of fun, PM cplyons or me with questions.

You guys are makin' me jealous. A hat tip to hionfi for hosting too.

Not to mention taking new toys out!! I'm thinking Rod must have some speakers I have to own...:thmbsp:

A week to go and only one person wanted a few resistors. My offer still stands- if there's anything in the way of parts, resistors, caps, semiconductors, fuse holders, screw/nuts/bolts, small motors or any other thing you can possible think of, just ask. The worst that can happen is I won't have it, but if I do it's your's for showing up.

Hey, what about GPS coordinates?

That would be great! I grew up in the vinyl age, but I have not "listened" to vinyl for many years as I have migrated to use mostly digital source(flac) and would love to hear the difference from vinyl.

What equipment is everyone bringing to audition? (not sell/trade)

Nice offer, I am in need so I'll make a list and pm you. Cheers.

 

[Bigerik]

Still working on it...

 

[bktheking]

Come on BigE- live up to the been everywhere name, have you been to Hionfi? I don't want to be the only one bringing the "good beer"

 

[Bigerik]

Trying to put the pieces together for it. I'll know within a day or two.

 

[Tom Bavis]

OK, sign me up - I'll be there, weather permitting...
