Hi All.

Thought I'd test the waters to see if there is an interest in a GTG at my place.

Looking at the possible dates of Sunday 6th or Saturday 12th....

My main system consists of some Aslan Horn speakers currently bi amped by a couple of Earle Weston amps... A Trinity EL34 / Tempest KT88 combo that I'm trialling...

[ATTACH]42010[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH]42011[/ATTACH]

The tempest isn't in the pic

I would describe my system as... "full, forward sounding, coloured and dynamic"..
It isn't neutral or detailed...

Perhaps something different...

Plently of sources... A couple of TT's, squeezebox, cassette tape or reel to reel, yes even FM radio if you want... Oh and for those who still use the older format CD / SACD... I think I got one of those thingys....

Hi Kensell,
As always I will be there work/race program permitting. Some gear I have been itching to hear.
Cheers
Paul

[Batty]

A long way off, but I'll try to get there.

[Bear72]

Put me down as a starter mate!

[frankn]

And me....

[cheekyboy]

G'day mate, it was the middle of 2009 when I was at your place last for a GTG and it would be good to make it over for this one too. I'll see the boss and work out if we're due for a holiday in SA around that time or not.

Cheers,

Keith

[hgholden]

yep, pending interstate travel, its been a while since last attending a GTG

[Batty]

Shall I bring along a DAC or 2 for you to try?

[Lazz]

Hi Kensell, schedule permitting I would like to come along also.Thx Lazz.

[GregWormald]

Sounds good to me.
Greg

[Tony M]

Yep, I think I need to get out more before the winter hibernation:rolleyes: - so please put me down as a potential starter.

[Benje]

sounds good Kensell - can we get the train to your place?

[Batty]

Oh come on Benje, it's as if we have to catch the ferry... any members in KI?

[darthlaker]

Thanks,,,,,I'm IN!

[LogicprObe]

Some nice gear there.

[Benje]

Batty

you just make sure that the mazda has a full tank of fuel before you leave for your one hour trip down south. And that you don't leave with a tankfull yourself when you go home.

I'll be sticking to those mild ales - that red coloured stuff does me no good at all (apart from making me 'relaxed' and 'chatty'), and as for the home-brew rocket fuel from the last GTG - tasty but dangerous!

[Batty]

I may have to get Christine to do driver duties

[mikizee]

I'm a starter too

Ahh yes remember that day.. Bit of a novice. Still am I suppose and the systems changed a bit.. I'm still trying to get that sound that I want but I'm getting there.. I bought a Garrard TT of a somebody and it's still my favorite source...

Hope you can make it. Cheers

Yep sure can... A squeezebox is ready...

[Kensell21]

You can if you want... But you'll be pleased to know that I won't be driving it ....

Some nice gear there.

I always worry that it looks better than it sounds...

[Batty]

I can't make the 6th due to a family engagement party, Sister in law is getting hitched or some such. 12th is free..... so far.

Just noticed 6th is Sunday... I'll check.

[SETfan]

Hi Kensell, I would be keen to come if you have room! Either date should be ok for me.

[Batty]

I always worry that it looks better than it sounds...

Rod, never worry about looks, concentrate on the sound you like. I'm sure your system sounds beautiful.

[Rural Rat]

Sitting at work checking my roster and yes of course working every weekend in May. My apologies, another GTG I will miss out on.

[tal]

Count me in Rod, thanks.

[68premier]

Count me in too, work permitting. At the moment the roster is clear but there is talk of a roster change coming up Grrrr.

[Batty]

6th of May is a no go for me, 12th is good.

Hi Batty and all...

I was going to update the topic over the weekend. No problems Batty.

The date for the GTG will be Saturday the 12th....

My wife will be fleeing to work in the afternoon. So if you all want to start from about 1.30 -2.00pm to give those that live "North of Nowhere" time to travel. FInishing anytime late.....

I'll provide some nibbles... Please feel free to bring any beverages you like.. I'll provide some ice....

Feel free to PM for address details if needed.

Cheers Rod

[Benje]

So if you all want to start from about 1.30 -2.00pm to give those that live "North of Nowhere" time to travel.

I think most of us live "North of Morphett Vale". Now, if we can get on to the expressway by 1230, the drive down will be more pleasant, but we will be early. So, it will likely be a drive down all of the South Road.

I have just checked my Diary, and The Crows are playing The Cats at Footy Park that very afternoon. I am a non-starter Kensell. Sorry to miss your GTG.

Ahh, your probably right but at my work place "north of nowhere" is north of Grand Junction Road (sorry batty )....

Forgot about the "good old" one way southern express way.... So I'm happy to start earlier so People can use it...

So Benje you going to see the crows get done by 10 goals? hmm wish you luck

[Benje]

Ahh, your probably right but at my work place "north of nowhere" is north of Grand Junction Road (sorry batty )....

you are correct there - that is my recollection as well. Adelaide ends at the Gepps Cross Intersection to the north, and at the start of the expressway to the south (Darlington!)

[frankn]

looks a good date for me. You will PM address/contact details the week before?
Regards Frank

[3G_]

I would love to hear your system again, thanks for the invite:)

[tal]

I'll try to make it too - roughly where are you Rod?

[Kensell21]

[68premier]

Hi Kensell21, I should be good to go. Good that you're not far from me. Can you PM your details?
Can you play files from a HDD / USB?

[Batty]

I believe Rod has an SB Touch

[hgholden]

Hi Rod, can you please PM you address, at this stage looks like I am in town.

Andy

[Batty]

Is the GTG all male or are the wives/GFs who would like to come along welcome too?

Christine is very interested.

Maybe I should get her to start her own membership

[darthlaker]

Hi Rod,

I will be there, can you please send me your address please...

Thanks

[mikizee]

Unfortunately I can't be in attendance - bloody work!!!

[Batty]

3 DACs lined up, Audio GD NFB-2 , 1534x4 and 1543 NOS single chip, 2 were under $50 each and the 3rd was $450, could be fun.

[GregWormald]

Using a computer with USB?--Want an Audiophillio 2 with battery power?

Greg
