I was thinking you should bring me, but something came up on Sat.

Bringing modded Lector, Air Tight AT1 for Pipedreams and a Tango choke loaded 26/101D preamp,
should be fun...as usual.

Charles-
Thanks for a great time- the food was fabulous. An even BIGGER thank you to Joann- she was in constant motion keeping it all together.
The exposure to all the different equipment outside was a revelation. I never thought the Maggies could do outside duty like that- boy was I wrong...

The rave was great! Thanks so much to the hosts, Charles and Joan for having us over and providing such great food and drink.

The music was really nice and much to my surprise the system set up outside was better that I thought possible. The Maggies are a true champ speaker and when paired with the Plinius Sa-100 amp, and Charles  tube preamp the sound was so nice.

Thanks Charles and Joanne for hosting the July rave.
Great weather and great food and drink, the limonata was great!

I think this was the first out door rave. The Maggies sounded really great outside.
I thought the Plinius and Wienser, Lector combo was the best.
We also had fun with power cords which made a big difference , even outdoors!
The enchanter power cord was my favorite, it just synergized with the system really well.

Sorry we blew the fuses on the AR 60

But honestly the real fun was outside, it was just too beautiful to be inside.

Thanks!

Best Rave yet!!! Thanks for hosting Charles. You have a great house and a generous family!!!! I absolutely loved the outdoor sound, maybe the best Ive heard, besides my own system of course Queens is a great town! The food was awesome too. I think you covered all the bases!!! Thanks so much for a wonderful rave!!!

What a great rave. It was worth the wait. The food was delicioso and the Maggie's sounded amazing outdoors. Who would have thought? The Pipedreams need your 211's to sing.  I may have been one of the only people to hear the little system upstairs, which sounded pretty good for a single driver system. what was that little amp powering them?

Thanks Charles and Joanne for throwing such a great party and being wonderful hosts.

Thanks Charles and Joanne for hosting the July/Aug. Rave......
....................................an Italian feast for sure...excellent food!!! 

As others have mentioned, I think it's a first for the Rave......
...................an outdoor setup...and it sounded very good.

And it was a beautiful day as well....

Nice to see some of the Audio Syndrome members attending....and the Ravers.

I listened to the two systems...missed the third one.....
...............amazing that you got those PipeDreams in the basement...with just a few inches to spare...

Sounded good down there....but you need to sit back a little further to get the full effect.
I did notice that with some CDR's, the Lector CDP skipped a bit or two....

Outside the Maggies did a fine job....who'd a thought.
It was just like an outdoor concert....airy,music floating throughout the yard...enjoyable.
A very nice experience.

Thanks again for hosting.....I had a great time....

PS.....Hey Barry....where are the photos ?

A very big thanks to Charles and Joanne for their wonderful hospitality and the fabulous feast they provided.

I spent 95% of the day outside enjoying the open-air performance provided by the Maggies driven by the fabulous Plinius SA-100 MkIII.

Sorry for the delay Chris, yesterday was my daughter's birthday and it was back to work today so I just haven't had time to upload pix until now...


Typical Rave tom-foolery...








The main system in the basement listening room...








The backyard system...




The proper libation for the event...

You have to drill down into the picture and get the Direct Link shown at the bottom of the page. The link from properties doesn't work (like it does at AC)

This is a cool shot 


Love those pipedreams Charles!
