arthurs Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Damn, been wanting to get to one of these, had to miss the last one, and am going to BB King at Billy Bob's on the 25th. Maybe next time....have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 Arthurs, I didn't realize BB King was going to be a Billy Bob's. Anyway, we will get going around 3:00 pm, so if you want to stop in before you head out to see BB, let me know and I will PM you the directions to my house.

arthurs Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Thnaks David, but I probably am out due to making this an evening with my wife starting with dinner. I don't like to inflict any more adversity on my audio hobby with her than I need to and somehow coming to meet up with you guys and scrambling to get to dinner with her by 5 or 6 will cost me points....have fun, I'm in for the next one....

eq_shadimar Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 WOOT I am there with bells on! Laters, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 Well Hornheads, it is getting even better. Yesterday, Craig (NOSValves) called and he has finished the refurb on my Scott 99B, so I will have a tube-amplified center channel to go with my 299D. Tonight my brother (Audiodad) called and he is driving up from Houston with an LK72, so we will have five channels powered by tubes. I can't wait to hear the Eagles Hell Freezes Over DVD-A with all 5 channels running tubes/Klipsch Heritage! He is also going to bring his Lascalas, so we should have lots of stuff to play with.

Seadog Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 Jeff, "Bells" are optional attire for this event, but I really want to see that 1967 Ford Ranchero 500! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eq_shadimar Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Deal!! I will drive Buster (1967 Ranchero) to the event. That way, if after hosting the event, we convince you that the speakers and amps are worthless I will have a way to take them all home.

sheltie dave Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Seadog, I hope the Thorens is still making you happy. Have you done comparisons with the sound vs CDs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Anyone heard from Dave Mallet in awhile? He used to be on here quite a bit. He was developing a small multimedia pc when we last heard from him. Marvel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 I have been wondering how Mallett is doing, too! How's his Asylum Street Spankers recording project going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted September 18, 2004 Author Share Posted September 18, 2004 Dave, The I am very pleased with the Thorens. Until the Thorens, I have never owned a TT that I could listen to at any volume level without problems. The Thorens/Scott combination seems to be a good match. I prefer the Thorens (assuming good condition vinyl) to CDs. SACD is more comparable. I should get some unbiased feedback next weekend!

eq_shadimar Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 So we can bring CD's, SACD's, DVD-A's, and vinyl to demo next week right? Laters, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 Jeff, Of course you can bring any source material you would like. You can even bring your Fisher and we can have a Fisher-Scott comparison! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eq_shadimar Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hummm did't even think about the bringing the Fisher...how easy is it to swap out components in your system? Laters, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 For 2-channel from the Pioneer universal player CD/DVD it is real easy. Since there are two sets of RCA outs for 2-channel, we could easily A/B between the amps using the Niles switch box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eq_shadimar Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Just wanted to bump this back up to the top to thank Dave for all of his hospitality on Saturday! I had a great time. It was an afternoon and eveing filled with great music, tubes, and friends. Dave is lucky enough to have 3 Klipsch systems. A nice 2 channel Cornwall system downstairs that is his wife's system (although I think that Dave really got them for himself ), a 2 channel KG4 system in the guest room, and of course the main 5.1 system with Cornwalls left, center, and right; Heresy rears, and a Klipsch subwoofer. Dave's room sounded great. More intimate sounding then the live concert sound I get in my home. You could really feel the music come out and seduce you instead of the grabs you by the balls and shake you feeling I get with my Cornwall system. I dunno it just sounded sexier if that is a good description. I think being on the second floor and the lower ceiling contributed to this. I really liked it. With the Thorens spinning the LP's you could hear that his 5.1 system is also a great 2 channel setup for vinyl. God I so need a decent TT. Just another great example of an awesome 2 channel and multi-channel setup in the same system. We listened to LP's, DVD-A's, SACD's, and DVD-V's and everything sounded great. We even switched out and listened to my Fisher 500B for a bit. All in all a great time. Thanks for hosting this Dave! Who is next?????
