Alfredo Abate Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Hi all, I will be having an audio meeting at my house Saturday March 1st from 12:00 - ??? Anyone is welcome to come and you can bring any gear or music you want. I can play cd's, sacd's and lp's. I will have snacks and soda but bring your own beer. I also just completed the Bottlehead Seduction for those who want to see/hear it. I thought I would post a message here in case some folks don't check Audio Asylum. NOS440 has been to my house so you can ask me or him about how our meetings are. In the past we have had people from Wisc, Mich and Indiana show up so don't be afraid to come! Any questions just let me know. Thanks! Regards, Alfredo Abate 1206 S. Addison Lombard, IL 60148 audio_junkie17@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundthought Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Hey Craig, If you end up going and you are taking I-94 in, then stop by on the way through and pick me up. I live a mile off the highway. Regards, John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalOg Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 I'm in this about half hour from my house, cool!! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfredo Abate Posted February 17, 2003 Author Share Posted February 17, 2003 We usually have these meeting somewhere around Chicago about every 6 weeks. They usually slow down at the end of November with the holidays starting up and pick up again in January after CES. Like Craig said we are a very diverse group of folks. Very laid back and just like to B.S. and share ideas. A lot of us our DIY guys so it's always interesting to see what people may bring. --Craig it was last May that you came over last. It hasn't even been a year yet! Hehehe. Did you ever fix up those AR speakers? --Tim how is that Eico working out for you? --John where off of I-94 do you live? You can't be too from me (if you don't mind me asking)? --Tom where do you live (if you don't mind me asking)? Look forward to meeting any new folks and seeing some old ones again!

NOSValves Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Alfredo, I got as far as having the Woofers reconed and had the speakers working then one of the woofers went out on me and I havn't done a thing since. Shame on me !! Just been way to busy ! Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Disc Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Alfredo, The Eico is working quite well. No problems to speak of. It has been moved to light bedroom duty driving a set of Klipsch kg4s. Anything changed with your setup? - Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalOg Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Alfredo, I live in Bartlett, which is only a hop, skip, and a jump down good ol North Ave. If I finish my Paramours in time and there to my satisfaction I will be lugging them along. Thankx Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfredo Abate Posted February 18, 2003 Author Share Posted February 18, 2003 Craig--That's alright you probably put more use into to them then I did. I never even used them except for one time. Tim--I think my system has changed quite a bit since the last time you have seen it. For starters everything got moved to the basement so no more bouncy wood floors. I am now tri-amping (2 tube amps, 1 SS amp). I built a couple of power strips using a partial Jon Risch's filter recipe. I am also into vinyl big time using a Technics SL-1700 with a Shure V15VxMR. Just finished the Bottlehead phono kit (Seduction) about 2 weeks ago. I'm still using the SACD player but also bought an outboard DAC for regular CD's. I'm planning a complete tear down of my speakers probably after the Midwest Audio Fest. I need something that looks a little nicer than the big black PA boxes that I'm using now. Also I want to incorporate the JBL 18's that I got from the JBL tent sale over a year ago. That's about it but I have been spending a lot more time listening to music. Especially vinyl, since I have about 1600+ lp's now. Tom--Yep Bartlett's about a half hour from me. Email me if you need directions. Look forward to meeting you.

Alfredo Abate Posted February 18, 2003 Author Share Posted February 18, 2003 Hi Bernie! The midwest audio fest is in Lima, Ohio in April. You can read more about at the web site. I went last year and it was a blast! http://www.midwestaudiofest.com/ Will you be coming to the meeting on March 1st? Alfredo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 ALfredo, I remember you saying you were interested in hearing some Heresy's are you still interested ?? Would you like me to bring mine along for the meeting it would also allow people to bring there gear and have some speakers to connect to that are not tri-wired. Let me know its not a problem. I have a extra CD player and Turn Table we can use too of coarse I don't of you have room or not. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundthought Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Alfredo, I'm up here in Kalamazoo. Exactly half way between Detroit and Chicago. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfredo Abate Posted February 19, 2003 Author Share Posted February 19, 2003 Craig--Please bring the Heresy's if you can. I still never heard them and would like to. I'm sure others would like to hear them as well. I have room for whatever you want to bring. Actually we can setup another system in the extra Kitchen upstairs (where you did Tim's Eico upgrade). The room's a little lively but we can if you want to or we can just hook it up to downstairs were my system is at. John--Kalamazoo is about a 2.5 hour drive (I think). If your willing to do the driving come on by! Alfredo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 John and I will come together have the kitchen ready I'll bring a complete system for it and we can swap other gear there and leave the basement for serious listening and what not !!
