I went and saw Brian Kurtz of SMA today to demo and talk about turntables. bTW, he was very happy about having had the chance to host the March meet. Anyhow after testing stuff out and giving my preamp a whirl in the system, I am considering going for the Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck w/...

I like the idea of knocking out some light control issue theaters on Friday night and saving the rest for the following day. Plus I agree that I think it would be best to knock down the list of hosts a bit, particularly those who have hosted a meet before. That could take 4-5 names off the...

I think there is at least one more "new" theater out in Lakeway - Dave Elliot's.

Well I have got to thank Julian for having me over for a bit yesterday to check out his system. Great house Julian, a truly inspiring effort to the DIY'er in all of us. I have got to give an update on my new tube preamp. Still haven't had a chance to work towards eliminating all noise, but...

I would love to see Julian's place, but it looks like it will be pretty far out of the loop. Julian, I am just going to have to give you a call, because I really would love to hear those VMPS speakers if you wouldn't mind. Perhaps if your interested I could bring my new tube preamp, which I...

17th for me other weekends in May I would not be able to make it.

Hank that sounds good about talking about getting DIY bldg. session scheduled during the Parade. I am wanting to build with other folks one because I have no equipment, but two it seems that a lot of the materials like to be sold in larger amounts. For example I went to the place near me that...

See Jeff's reasons one through three are reasons why I think a mini-meet (Parade of HT's) at a few people's pads who have not hosted yet could be a good tension easer. I think once someone sees say Colin's set-up then they get it in their head that their system needs to be up to that kind of...

I am not going to vote for number one yet, primarily because there is not a vinyl rig assembled quite yet worthy of a face-off. Number 2 would be good in that it could get a lot of folks who have not hosted a meet yet the chance to do so for the first time but it would just be a small dable...

I don't know but if any one is looking for a good system or just a good pair of speakers, it certainly would be worth a phone call to see if it is just a typo. Or perhaps the speakers are trashed? Actually a band needing a system would be crazy to pass on this stuff. Could you imagine showing up...

The room was probably 20' W x 40' D with a about 15' tall cathedral ceiling. The Duos were set up along the short side and had glass sliding doors behind them. Bookshelves running the length of one side and a whole lot of equipment on racks on the otherside. The speakers were probably about...

It's in Austin at the owners house in the Far West Blvd. hills. Actually he carries zero HT components, it's all 2 channel and high dollar 2 channel at that. And yes you are probably right about his clients, as he doesn't have any advertisements, a yellow page listing, or even a webpage.

Well Scott had a good day today or bad depending on whether or not spending lots of money can actually be considered a good thing by you. First, I secured a lease on my future living space. It is a 2/1 house with close to 1000 sq ft. on Guadalupe a bit north of Koenig Lane. I am once again...

I still have all my same gear as last time you were here. Still I have only a 2.1 system so if 5.1 speakers means HT then I guess I don't qualify. Of course I am still not sold on the need for 5 speakers or 7 for that matter, nor do I think that should be the defining factor of what is HT...

Ah man! My system doesn't count as a coolio theater!:frowning: Just because I dont have a Front Projector...ramble, ramble...Hank doesn't either...ramble...Wait I see you have a northside vs. southside thing going on, as Greg is absent too...You northsiders...ramble, ramble!!! :D
