Gijo1977 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Hey ACT members, I have been in discussions with Keith from Wyndham audio, and I am interested in listening to some of their speakers. I am not sure how these types of things go here in the ACT, but given enough interest Keith mentioned he may be able to bring down a few of their offerings for ACT members to get in an have a listen to. Failing the enthusiasm for a GTG, I am also pretty sure I will organise to meet up with Keith and bring back one of his BR series or CH series for a home demo. So those SNA members interested in a home demo option could take advantage of the speakers once they are down here, as long as they organise their time slot of course I don't think it will be until early November at this stage, as I have a new family member joining us in early September, and my time may not be my own??? Unless of course someone else is a willing host and/or organiser? Anyway, it would be good to mobilise some support for this in the ACT. Let me know if you are interested, or contact Keith @cheekyboy and let him know your interest directly. Who knows, with enough support for the GTG, he may even organise some of his other gear to come for a visit as well Edited November 9, 2017 by Gijo1977 spelling +Title 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gijo1977 Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Well, looks like there is not too much SNA action here in the ACT? I am interested to know if there is any appetite at all for a GTG of any sort down here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi D, @Gijo1977 With @Mungbean66 and @andrewyuri putting their hands up to come and @haru and @Sime already expressing some interest and with hopefully me making an appearance, you've got five starters plus yourself. If you're room is big enough, you could possibly handle another two or three, but I would certainly be keen to bring our loudspeakers down to demonstrate and it would be great to meet some ACT SNAers too. If you can come up with a couple of dates that would fit with you, we could see how the others are going to be on those days too? Cheers, Keith 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gijo1977 Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) OK, Looks like there is some interest. I will have a look at some dates... though weekends are filling fast in this run towards Christmas I think a Sunday afternoon is likely to be the best time? I will discuss the options with my scheduler (Wifey) and post some options for considerations Dan EDIT: People will also need to let me know what source material they are keen to bring, I am mostly Vinyl, though I have an old NAD CD transport and a BluOS module on my AMP (if someone has a Tidal account?)

cheekyboy Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hi Dan, @Gijo1977 looking forward to seeing the dates after you've discussed it with SWMBO. Vinyl playback is definitely not an issue for me and I'm happy to bring a selection of albums to play. I also have an Oppo 105 that is not too difficult to bring along and this might give you some more options with SACD playback, that it does reasonably well.

Gijo1977 Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) OK.. So looks promising Sunday 19 November - No good for @cheekyboy Saturday 2 December Saturday 9 December Now just so people are aware, I have 4 Kids, and I am sure they will sticky beak and be kids, the smallest one may even scream a bit I may also have a couple of non-SNA additions to the roster who might like to hear some good quality sounds. See my signature block for the gear I have, and I am sure @cheekyboy could be persuaded to bring any 'Loan' options you may wish to hear? Let the date selection begin.

cheekyboy Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hi Dan, @Gijo1977 I just wanted to jump in quickly and let you know that I can't make the 19th of November, as we have children flying up from Melbourne to spend time with us up here. The December dates are both OK for me though. Cheers, Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If @andrewyuri, @haru and @Sime can confirm Saturday the 2nd of December is OK for them too, we could perhaps lock that date in?

cheekyboy Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hi folks, OK, we have the following attendees confirmed for Saturday the 2nd of December [1:00pm-5:00pm].................. @Gijo1977 cheekyboy, @Mungbean66 @BATMAQN ..................with the following to confirm. @andrewyuri @Sime I'll have our BR1 loudspeakers to demonstrate in Dan's system and Dan has the Graham Slee Accession. I'll be bringing down a couple of Slee headphone preamps and I could bring down the Slee Proprius amps as well, provided Dan has a pre out on his amplifier. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and I think there would be room for one or two more attendees, if there are some other members in the ACT area that would like to come along.

Gijo1977 Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 So I think there is space for about 7 people fairly comfortably and with a good amount of time to sit in the best seats possibly 10 at the most. I will make some shout outs to some of the members who live in our wonderful neck of the woods to see how we go. @Timos @Graham Andrew @trippinonprozac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
