Grahame Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 As some of you already know, we, here in the East, have decided to hold our own meet on the 28th. Agile_one, NightWoundsTime, tyrion, HighLife, crappyjones, and, hopefully, I will be at Gene's on Sat. and Sun. Will we have the gear you have? No. Will our meet be filled with eager head-fiers, trying out the newest and bestest? Nope. Will will care? Highly unlikely. Will will interrupt your meet as often as possible with stray and repetitive phone calls and increasingly obnoxious posts in your impressions threads? Is that the Cat Scratch Fever talking? Hmm, "alteration of mental status"? How could we tell? Hope you get to enjoy a meet, and as a reigning monarch, your loyal subjects cater to your every whim. Now forewarned, I fear Team NorCal Will engage in pre-emptive smack talk in your impressions thread, OK. Just make sure that that young whippersnapper CJ# doesn't get started with his "free variables" crazy talk. The days are counting down, and I have a UPS tracking number just in time for the meet. Ooh fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Will will interrupt your meet as often as possible with stray and repetitive phone calls and increasingly obnoxious posts in your impressions threads?

Dusty Chalk Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 No, she just means that one guy named 'Will' will. The real typo was the question mark at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 No, she just means that one guy named 'Will' will. The real typo was the question mark at the end. I thought of that and looked for "Will" in the attendee list. He wasn't there so I thought that she was just being emphatic! Maybe she'll invite a "Will" now.

Bigguy Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I met Will Wheaton the year after he got fired off ST. He deserved it, he was a real punk IRL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thanks to the nice UPS man, I can confirm the following slimdevices sources Transporter, Duet (Controller & Receiver) SB3 All driven off a laptop based network, and some HD650's for listening Should make for some interesting DAC comparisons... I'll remember to bring a bunch of power strips, See you all there P.S. I'll bring the nokia 770, get the iPeng plugin installed, and if there are any iPhones/iTouches present we can have a controller comparo as well.

Iron_Dreamer Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'll be packing a liver, and a 1TB drive full o' music, so we'll have no lack of software for your Slimdevices gear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I can't help you with your liver, other than suggesting Chianti and some Fava Beans, but your bits are more than welcome. I was going to bring an external drive, but may have to get extra supplies. The closest Fry's is in Palo Alto, but there is a Costco in Foster City. Almost on our doorstep.

blessingx Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Sounds great Grahame. BTW, how difficult is it to setup the Sqeezeboxes/Transporter even without a network? I've seen some of the 45 minute tries at meet and always left mine at home. Would be interested in bringing here. And could bring the Touch which I also use with iPeng.

I've seen some of the 45 minute tries at meet and always left mine at home. Would be interested in bringing here. And could bring the Touch which I also use with iPeng. That's why I travel with a known good network There's a Linksys WRT54GL providing DHCP, wireless 802.11G + 4 ports for a wired network. I have some other 5 port switches I can bring so everyone can play on the network - we could even have multiple (slim)servers on the network - any spare Cat5 cables, bring them along. ******** Active speaker Request. ================== Since it looks like we're going to be demoing speakers at some point (Either in the main room, or maybe in one/some of the guest rooms?) Anybody have any active/powered speakers worth demoing for 2ndary setups, I'm thinking active Quad12L's , Audioengine A5's, A2's and the like. JP - if you don't think this (the active speakers demoing part) is a good idea, please say so. I totally understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp11801 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 No active speakers would be welcome I am thinking of 2 - 20 minute speaker sessions , mid meet and near the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I bring M-audio BX5a? More crap to tote, but I am thinking that I will just bring the TTVJ 307A instead of the Beta. Bad idea?

Between the Beta 24 and the 307A, you guys should have a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzziguy Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I volunteer Ken and I to host your goodies, #'s. Sure, especially if there is some Pliny the Elder (or even the Younger) included with it. We'll be happy to cool them down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
