Loved the Youtube effort, thanks to Russ (?)

The sound at that first room, Raven was fine but I can't figure out what is Raven? Google didn't help.

Wayne, the 4Pis with subs were excellent. But then we knew that!

Duke wasn't there? How about Mr. Cope? Did Albert cover the show for Audiogon?

Best to Eddy and Melissa.

I can't believe I was last there in '07!

Yeah, Duke wasn't there. Bummer, huh? I think he's shifted focus more to building those bass guitar cabs maybe.

Albert was there, yes. He took a lot of pics and I think he's planning to do an article for Positive Feedback.

Haven't seen David Cope in a couple of years. I gotta hunt that boy down!

I completely spaced the whole LSAF and I'm really bummed! I got on the ART site today to check on dates and guess what? I COMPLETELY MISSED IT! My plan was to go to Tulsa, visit some friends, then drive to Dallas. Oh well - next year!
Hey Bill, how is retierment? Start saving for 2013 and I'll see you there!

Can't keep me from LSAF 2013.

Retirement? My face hurts; I can't stop smiling!

I will go to Ribfest (taking Caravaggio) June 2 and hope I can afford a trip West later in the Summer or early Fall.

What's happening with the pre-amp? I'm still dithering with wiring the KT-88s; I'm a coward.

It would be great if you can make a trip West, you've always got a place to stay! As for the preamp, the first version is done, I've been listening for a month or two. The second version adds shunt reg to the phono stage and it is 50% done, still on the bench. With warmer weather I've been doing things like taking care of the lawn instead of building, but will complete it in the next week or two. It uses 12V6's (like 6V6) as the line stage, which sound amazing, and a modified version of the RCA phono circuit in the same chassis (using 12SL7s). I love the sound of this thing!

Gentlemen!

I'm still alive and kicking on the East Coast. The last trip to Dallas killed my poor Volvo 240 wagon with a mere 270,000 miles. A mere baby! Shocked

I'm up to doing nine shows a year somehow, and the NY Show came the week before the Lone Star show. I love you guys, love the show, but damnation, it's a long way to go and ship gear and all for a show that's, let's face it, 1.5 days long. I scarcely recover from loading in and setting up before it's time to pack up, load out and go. Rolling Eyes

You'll never believe it, but I was clearing out part of my disaster are - - - office and came across my pair of 2123J's. (I still have the big-ass cabs that housed them and the 15" TADs with TAD 2001's in wood horns up top.)

I started thinking, hmmm, what fabulous thing can I do with these babies? Whaddya think? Very Happy

Good to hear from you, Dave! Hoping maybe next year we can have a mini-reunion at LSAF for some of us that were hanging out together online ten and twelve years ago, back when the audio discussion boards were in their infancy. I'd love to see you and Bill and Steve next year, if possible. Maybe we can even talk Martinelli and Duemm into coming.
