G2G - Nov. 12th - Princeton NJ - Start Time - 1PM

shadowlight · September 13, 2016, 05:28:06 PM

Time to have a RAVE with both Lampizator and GTAudio Works. I am planning the RAVE bit differently this time. My primary system will remain identical initially and later we can start swapping equipment in and out of the setup.

Primary System Located in Basement

Speakers: Zu Audio Druid V
Amp: Triode Lab / Finale 2a3 SET (Sovtek / Shuguang 2a3, RCA/GE/Russian NOS 6sn7/6hc8, 5v4/gz32 rectifier tube)
Amp: Response Audio 3205 Extreme (el34/kt88/kt77/6550 power tubes, 12ax7 and 12at7 as preamp, phase splitter)
Amp: Folsom Audio 7297 DIY amp
Preamp: 4P1L DIY Preamp or Gary Dodd Unity 6H30pi Preamp
DAC: Lampizator Gen4.5 with DSD128 and 384K PCM
PC Audio Receiver: Either a Win10 or Linux system running Signalyst NAA (Network Audio Adapter)
Audio Music Player: Win10 based Signalyst HQPlayer converting everything over to DSD128 (the server has enough juice left to upconvert everything over to DSD256 or potentially DSD512)
CD/SACD - Pioneer Elite DV59ai

The second set of speakers will be in the family room and they are going to be GTAudio Works speakers.
I will let Fred (Gopher) or Rob provide information the Lampizator equipment that they will bring along and Greg @ GTAudio Works about the speakers and equipment that he will be bring.

Couple of house rules - no alcohol or meat dishes will be served and please take off your shoes (feel free to bring house shoes/sandals). You break the rules I end up in the dog house and no more events

Even though the event is listed in the NY Audio RAVE it is open to everyone. Either send me a pm or post in the thread so I can have a head count.

If Greg is bringing the GTA3-R's with the servo subs, you should have a great listening session.

Got to spend 3 days with them at CAF2016 and really enjoyed the time.

Deepak,
Would love to, but the travel budget after RMAF and the new tweeters is shot.

Thanks for the invite! Hope to come up again for one in the future.

gopher · September 14, 2016, 12:39:22 PM

Thanks for hosting this event, Deepak! I know we will have a great time.

I'll likely bring an Atlantic, as I know that's a piece people are curious about and also a new Amber 2 and likely a Golden Gate. We'll also plan on lugging over a Komputer or two.

Should be a great time. I hope to see many of you there!

Fred

Jim,

Bring music along with you. I will have food and drink covered. Did you ever pick up the Tavish Design amp?

goldlizsts · September 15, 2016, 04:38:21 AM

Thanks. I plan to attend. Will not have any such exotic gear to bring. I can bring food.... any "prohibited" food? Of course, it'd be easy for me to bring Chinese stuff. Say, for example, chicken..... is safe?

I'll try to find a vegan chicken!!!!!!!!!!

topround · September 15, 2016, 07:44:00 PM

try williamsburg..should have a few there, try to get one without facial hair.

Of course deepak has the final word if a free range, vegan chicken with no facial hair is allowed to attend the rave.

Me.. I'm bringing free range vegan veal....the good stuff! My veals are too young to have facial hair, we filet them in their prepubescent prime!
