ArthurDent Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Member's Request 8pm Wednesday 15th August, visitors welcome. Willis Room, City of Whitehorse Offices Maroondah Highway (Whitehorse Road), Nunawading Melway Map 48 Ref G9 Contact: 9437 1249 This month's meeting will be a members request with club members providing the musical program. MAC members are invited to bring along a CD with a favourite piece of music that would appeal to the group. This could be something from their "desert island disc" selection or a recent purchase. On entry, each member with a CD will be given a slip of paper to write their name on. A table next to the door will have three containers marked: Classical, Jazz and Other. Please put the slip of paper into the appropriate container. When your name is pulled out you will be offered the opportunity to play your music. To ensure as many members as possible can participate the maximum time for each track will be no more than 5 minutes. This should get us through plenty of CD's before the coffee break. Ray Goh from the Hi Fi Exchange will be providing the electronic components for the night, a hybrid amplifier from Germany and a hybrid CD player from Italy. The Vincent SV236 is a 150Wpc integrated amplifier (the first 10Wpc in class-A) with a trio of 12AX7 tubes which are framed by a circular glass window in the centre of the front panel. The Synthesis Magnus CDP from Italy also shares the same philosophy in circuit design with an ECC88 tube to compliment its sound. Continuing the Italian theme the speakers for the night, a pair of Sonus faber Venere 2.5, that have been generously provided by the importers, Synergy AV. These floor standing speakers house a pair of 180mm drivers with a 29mm silk dome tweeter. Every inch a Sonus faber the cabinet is lute-shaped and made more striking by the angled top finished in tempered glass. This would be a good opportunity for new members as well as the regulars to discover some new music. I'm sure those of you who will take the opportunity to bring a CD will put some thought into your track selection. There's more to HiFi than just the equipment.
