Just enough to make it an overnighter, and that was disallowed for other reasons (obligations). I do want to hear me some Danley(esque?) boxes and have plenty of earplugs for shootin', chainsawin', and (usually) live entertainment. Another time, perhaps. If Claude still lived in Indy, that'd be an hour and change each way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 I'll attempt to identify those in the pics in Kevin's@kevinmi post above. In the top photo, left to right, Matt @Skelt, Claude @ClaudeJ1 ( back to camera), Dave @mopar dave, Bill @Picky's_Son_1974 (back to camera), Dave @Dave1290 & Glen's @picky left knee. The middle pic has, left to right, Bill, Dave & Glen. The bottom photo has, left to right, Glen, Dave, Bill, Claude, Matt & Dave. Everyone is accounted for except Kevin, the photographer, and yours truly. Picture Paul Newman and Robert Redford . . . there's no resemblance, but picture them anyway. The setting is my backyard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hidden behind plants on the deck are HIPs, Billy Bob's @billybob phono preamp, and a Technics TT with Carl's @CECAA850 Ortofon cartridge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Dave @Dave1290, Tell Steve the bowl was a hit. Rather than wait almost a year, I gave it to her today. I’m coming to the realization that, at my age, things to avoid include: green bananas, magazine subscriptions and deferred pleasure. Tomorrow might not get here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 It's been my experience that tomorrow always gets here. Whether you or I will be here to greet or not it is the real variable. :^) 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You two had set that up so perfectly for me, I just had to step up, dig in, and knock it out of the park. It would've been remiss of me to neglect it! Thanks for both the opportunity and the recognition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Here is the downstairs system heard by the gathering. DIY Super Heresys and four DIY EATH subs. The two iNuke 1000dsp amps power the four subs. The black box above the iNukes holds the TI TPA3255EVM class D chip amp that powers the Supers. The naked 3255 and power supply are also shown. The DIY Fostex FE103 single driver TV speakers were played briefly powered by a $5 TDA7297 chip amp just to demonstrate how good a minimalist system can sound. The 7297 is below to the left of the barrier strip. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 On the deck deck we’re HIPs powered by a Wiener class D chip amp. The Crites 120s (shown on top) and networks were installed at the time of the gathering. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Neil, do you have your four subs firing into the two corners? Haven't seen that done, but assume as much as you tweak your system that you tried it several different ways before deciding on this configuration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Yes, two subs are firing into each corner. I tried a few other configurations. So far, in this small space, this seems to work best. Now that the gathering is past, I'll tweak some more, but I doubt I'll find another arrangement that works as well without taking up more of the scarce space.

DizRotus Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 We finally enjoyed the delicious Bucyrus Carle’s Bratwurst Dave @Dave1290 brought to the gathering. Thanks Dave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
