Oklahoma DIY Audio meeting
type: item
description: I'm attempting to gauge interest in/coordinate a small DIY gathering at my place outside of Checotah, Ok. Tenative Date is October 23, 2010. We will have the run of my family's vacation home on Lake Eufaula. I believe we can set up 2 listening areas in the house. ( at opposite ends, through a couple of doors, on different floors....). I do not have enough gear to set up 2 systems, so your gonna have to bring stuff to show off. I will be listing this on several forums. I will need folks to RSVP on attendance, so I can get out directions, coordinate stuff, etc. Anybody want to come over and play? John

description: Just to "Bump" this, and to add a little more info.... The system I'll have set up downstairs: A KT88 SET integrated amp. Playstation as source. DallasII BLH's as speaker. I have a small tv monitor for the playstation, DIY interconnects, and DIY speaker cables ala the 6 Moons White Lightning Moonshine cables. The amp has 2 inputs, so if someone wants to bring a TT ( sadly mine's still not resurected ) and a phono pre, or a digital front end of some flavor.... I expect/hope we get to roll in and out other equip. whatever you'all bring. The upstairs system, should we decide to split it up is TBA. John

description: Truly a Bummer.... Norris is sick, Steve is going to a job interview in Oregon. I've only just gotten in from 4 days on the road, and things have fallen apart. The possibles haven't contacted me, so it's looking like a bust all 'round. I've got to check with my mother about future availability of the lake house, as she's planning to have some work done, and was waiting until after my event to start. So..... Lets plan to try again later, either next month ( pending availability ), or possibly even later. What would a good time for you be? John

description: Hard to say, as we come into the holidays. Definitely a Saturday, maybe early November? If we can't get to it before mid-November, it will probably be best to wait until January. People get busy with holiday planning.

description: How about November 13th? That is before the holiday and DIY building season really gets underway. Maybe this first meeting, if enough come and bring their equipment to show and tell, will be a catalyst for our group to build something during the Winter months. Then, Spring before LSAF 2011, we could have another meeting to show off the Winter projects. Also, it would be a good time to bring our locals together who plan on attending LSAF to make arrangements. It would be fun to have a group of locals to meet at LSAF. Just a thought! Norris.

description: I like the idea of a fall DIY meeting, but honestly, I think we missed our window on this one. Too bad, 'cause we're definitely overdue. But once we hit November, the holiday season starts rolling. We have two holidays in that month, Veteran's day and Thanksgiving. Both make long weekends for many people. December is definitely out 'cause it's hectic for just about everyone. So I think we'll probably have to wait until January or February.

description: Norris, I'm with Wayne on this. Here's a couple of dates I'm going to throw out for comment. Jan 29th, 2011 If we decide to appease the weather gods somehow...Or Feb. 26th, 2011. I cannot guarantee either of these dates, however, I have some measure of confidence that they will both be available based on previous years usage of the lake house. I'm looking for comment here, or a vote for one or the other... I'm going to post both dates on the other forums where this gtg has been discussed too. John

description: To all who have supported/ commented, etc. about gathering here in beautiful green country of Oklahoma. We have a problem Houston.... Again I am forced to postpone this gathering. We were supposed to have an addition to the building installed by the company who originally constructed it, this was contracted for in October, and was supposed to occur shortly after Thanksgiving. My mother, the building owner, made the classic mistake of telling the Contractor that she was not in a hurry, it's a boat storage addition, and that other storage arrangements had been made for this winter. So naturally the work has not even begun yet. It would be my luck to allow this gathering to go on, and have the construction package delivered this week.... As there has been enough response, I'm also thinking a change of venue may be in order anyway. After having a trial run of sorts, the room seems awful small... I do intend to host a gathering this spring, but cannot say when at this time. Stay tuned, and those who have previously commented, will receive PM's when things have been straightened out somewhat... John
