Address sent. Sucks about your amp, Ed - best of luck with that mess...

If anyone else needs, please let me know.

I'll add some more Rave info in the coming days.

Forecast is for a nice 69° day. If anyone wants to ride my ATV go for it. Please don't hurt yourself, though.

Doesn't that involve insurance issues?  Sign waivers ?

Hey Mike, is there a theme for the rave...or ???
What equipment are you interested in auditioning?
I am thinking of bringing my DIY conditioner...its mostly for digital source or under 10A components, it does have a pass-thru outlet ( no conditioning) for 15A components.

Happy Birthday Barry and many,many, more!!!

A few more details:

Lately, there has been a very noticable and kind realization that hosting these Raves can be expensive, so I'd like to let people know what I'm thinking...

In general, people are very good about bringing alcohol and desserts and snacks, so I'd like to make it official - I do not plan on spending any $$ on alcohol or desserts. Simply not having to worry about that extra case of beer, bottle of booze, two bottles of wine and a dessert etc. will lessen the cost by a significant $75-100 - And the good thing is if everyone simply continues to bring what they usually bring, all this will take care of itself!  Even a few bottles of soda will be much appreciated.

We will provide lunch and appetizers etc.  If people want to stay late and get some pizza, we can take up a collection at that time.

Is there a theme?  Not really - If people want to bring cables/dacs/conditioners/UBERBUSSES CHARLES, HINT HINT etc feel free. My system hasn't changed all that much although I've continued to go cuckoo on the room treatments.

I took the Psvane AU7s out of the VAC pre and replaced with NOS Sylvanias and it sounds much better balanced now - It was too shrill at Barry's, sorry 

**If anyone has a quality AC outlet box I would like to use it in the main system - I currently have a pr of Tommy's Cherry Ultra monos being fed by a $10 monster power strip and $6 Volex power cords, so if someone has a pr of beefy pwr cords...**

As in the past, we will set up a 2nd system in my TV room - I know Jim is bringing some speakers and an amp to add to what I have so whatever we want to set up in there, bring it over. There is a subwoofer in there so bring on the monitors.

We can also watch Blu-rays in that room so if you want to bring...

The dirt road is in pretty good shape but again, best not to bring the Ferraris over, guys, or a car you just had washed!

Seriously if anyone might enjoy tooling around on the ATV let me know. No being stupid, now, we all know what gravity and inertia are.

And everyone bring CDs. Lots of CDs. All of your best CDs. And even blanks if you want. PC will be available for, you know, PC stuff.

Thanks to everyone who PM'd me with their desire to lighten the $$ load on the host

Mike -

Found I still have your address in my gps from Oct. '10.

I'm going to try to make it as I'd like to hear the VS speakers, will bring some favorite CDs.
