Talked to Hugh earlier today and we agreed on having the RAVE on June 18th. I will keep the original post updated provided the forum software allows me to make the change.
Please let me know if you are planning to attend so I can have a running count for food/beverage. If you food allergies please let me know.
Couple of house rules - No alcohol or meat in the house or will be served and please take off your shoes but feel free to bring along house slippers.
Even though the tour information is posted in NY RAVE section everyone is welcome.
Thanks to TriodPete and Bill Baker for lending interconnects and power cords for the GTG
Looking forward to it!
Please let me know the equipment list and I will get some Harvest II cables done up and sent down to you so you can get them burned in prior to the gathering.

I guess the question of the day will be how big of a crowbar will it take to pry us out of there after only two hours? :rofl:
OP post updated with equipment list.
So the PM845s are going to be there. .........

Who says that you have go to the Rave at 12pm :rofl: :rofl: how about 1pm
It's gonna be a very nice system forsureforsure!
Planning to have two rooms setup. The basement is going to be 2-channel room with Trinity LR and Melody gear. Hopefully that will give folks some quite time away from the kitchen/breakfast nook chatter. The family room will be setup as HT with Trinity LCR, PS3 and Yamaha HTR. Might hook up the Cherry Jr. Amp in HT room not sure yet. Might be a bit noisy with the kitchen/breakfast right next to it.
Looks to be a very nice event. I hope my schedule pans out. Don't tell Hugh the PM845 monos are coming to my place afterwards [-X I'll put them to good use.
Hugh knows where Bill lives. ;) :D

Oh crap...did I say that out loud :duh
Actually, I am hoping to bring the big MN845 this time.
Not sure though since it's too hughmongous. :rofl:
"hugh"mongous -- good one :thumb: But I didn't know your last name was Mongus.
Deepak, let me know if I can help you out in any way prior to the gathering. Looks like it will be a great bunch of people.
I think my ancestors came from Mongol. :D
You can bring yourself to the gtg plus some $ to take the PM845 home with you. ;)

High return shipping charges, moderate probability of return shipping damage ....... give cash discounts too?
OK Deepak, guess I'm going to be there ........

I think we scared him, Gene.
Folks,
Just a heads up. I am going to be slow responding to any messages for the next 2 to 3 weeks. I will try to respond as quickly as I can but I need to ask for your patience in case I do not respond in the expected time frame.
Apology in advance.

After hearing the new integrated at Pete's, I'm really looking forward to hearing the monoblocks.
Folks,
Please let me know who will be joining on the 18th and any food allergies that I need to be mindful off so I can make alternate arrangements.
Thanks

Don't be that cruel, Deepak. Just feed Evan with "American" Indian food, the a=maize=ing corn=y stuff, you know. That'lll fix his allergy. :rofl:
Gene,
I'll be bringing the PB101 & PM845 and would love to hear your impressions. :)

That's great!
Wonder if I should bring my pre and phono pre, they all run Mullard signal tubes, would like to see/hear what synergy they would all have together.
Hey D? Will you have your pre back? Do you have Mullards? If not, I can bring some.
You mean the Pre you got from Bill?
Sure thing. :)

Yes, will have my pre back. The only Mullard's that I have are the Siemens ones that you listened to. Bring your pre along. If you plan to bring phono pre we will have to arrange for a player also.
Oh ya, guess I can bring my tt if needed.
That's it;

Whenever it is that you do make it out this way just remember that no self respecting audiophile can make a visit to Deepak's neck of the woods without spending a least a couple of hours at Princeton Record Exchange. :drool:

Sure thing.
I plan to stay for 1 week anyway.
Thanks for the pointer.

Falafel is a rarity. We have to coerce Deepaks wife into making them. It won't be easy.Maybe if everyone promises to come once a week to clean the house that may do it. :thumb:

Here is the poll for the date to have the RAVE - http://www.audionervosa.com/index.php?topic=3244.0. Hoping you have already voted. Right now those are the best dates between summer vacation and my better half's weekend work schedule.
