Hi Pete,

Of course...

So I need traffic advice coming from NJ via I-95 to the Verrazano to the Belt Parkway.

What time (if any) would be best to drive that on a Saturday in August??

[BobM]

before 9-10AM

BobM is not kidding and his times are correct at least in IME. My folks live in Brooklyn close to Staten Island and if you take either Belt or the BQE to or from LI before 10am on the weekends the drive is real smooth (knock on wood). After it gets horrendous. There have been times I was so thankful for those funny Brad Benson Hyundai ads on the radio because I honestly would have started bashing my head into the steering wheel.

Thanks Guys! Looks like I'll be an early bird to the rave....

[StereoNut]

As usual, it was a great time at Triode Pete's today.  Plenty of food, drink and of course, music!

Thanks for hosting and putting up with all of us crazies!

P.S. to Shek: That was some pretty rockin' Chinese tequila!

[Maxamillion]

Yup, awesome Rave, Pete! 

Thanks for the hospitality!

Hey Pete.

Thanks for the awesome time!  It was a nice trip down memory lane with some great reminders of my mentors.

I want to impress on others here how cool the 50's and Tannoys were and to hear them through Arthur and Johns creation was a piece of audio history that very few people will ever hear.  The K-horns are another soft spot for me since PWK was one of the giants I wish I had met.

Thanks a ton, Pete.  As usual, on a warm summer afternoon, the hospitality made it "hot"!  Had a great time; met all you audiophiles there. 

When you put on that Take 5 vinyl, all ears perked up.  Next time, I will bring my 20-bit Take 5 CD to see if that'll convince me to get back to vinyl....  I think the vinyl track will out-shine and out-oomph the CD.

It was great to have an "old time" rave again, with multiple systems, great food and drink, lots of guys from all over, and a nice day to share with ya' all. Thanks for pulling this together Pete, especially after coming off the Capital Audiofest trip last week.

Thanks Pete for the rave, it was great wish I could have stayed longer.

Agree the K horns and the Tannoys sounded great. Tube changes make a big difference with such high sensitivity horns.

Thanks for all the food, there was plenty to spare!
