Jeff

[grumpy]

Still not sure but im gonna try to make it. Hope to see you all there.

[Andyman]

I'll be there after work (2-ish) and I'll drag my PS1 along for grins.

[djnagle]

Hey Grumpy, hope you can make it, should be a ball.

Hey Andy, Great, I have been looking at that table but have not heard one. Cheers.

[Strawman]

I would like nothing better than to see old friends and make new ones, but can't make it this weekend. Have fun all!

[Andyman]

Hey Grumpy, hope you can make it, should be a ball.

Hey Andy, Great, I have been looking at that table but have not heard one. Cheers.

Dennis:

Just so you know, the PS1 is my PlayStation 1, the SCH-1001 model getting all the press as a CD source, and not a turntable.
We'll see what the group thinks of its sonics.

[Strawman]

Damn Andy, I still want to compare that to my SCPH-101 that some have said was the POS one. Just too much to do this weekend. :thumbsdn:

[botrytis]

I am so sorry I had to move away from MI - I was trying to get something like this going for 4 years there. It is noce to see things really are good there now.

[Strawman]

The people have always been what makes this area great Dave, It's the crappy economy that forces people to leave. You and your wife were some of the first people I met at my first AK Fest. It's truly a shame that people have to move away to survive. My only daughter fled last year, dammit, now you're going to make me get sad! :tears:

[grumpy]

If there will be a turntable at the meet I may be able to bring my tube phono stage.

[djnagle]

Hi Grumpy, Jim, a new member and coming to his first SMAC meeting, will be bringing his Rega P7.

OK, got-it, PlayStation. I've heard a lot about them latly. It will be great to here it.

[Fedallah]

I'll be there if I can. Depends on whether or not the gas prices keep me away.

[jmathers]

I'll be there if I can. Depends on whether or not the gas prices keep me away.

There's bound to be someone to carpool with. Where are you in SE MI?

Jeff

[Squidward]

I'm coming in from Ann Arbor. I believe that's where Fedallah is from. Ashok and PakProtector also live in town, and have been known to go to a SMAC meet on occasion.

[ashok]

Unfortunately, I am going to have to miss this one, and most probably the next two. I would have loved to hear the John Hogan 300B.

But, I am signed up as September host, and will be back in the groove from Fall.

[slow_jazz]

I'm going to also miss this one..

Have a great time everybody....

[Ski]

I hope to be able to make this one. If I can, I'll bring an AMC CD8b CD player. I like it and it was pretty cheap.

[grumpy]

Hi Grumpy, Jim, a new member and coming to his first SMAC meeting, will be bringing his Rega P7.

Any idea what cartridge is on the Rega ?

[Drybasement]

I'll be there. :thmbsp:

[djnagle]

Hi Grump, I do not know. He told me but I was driving home after teaching class until 10pm...and I forgot. I do remember him making a big deal of it so I imagine it will be a good one. I had a couple mis-steps building my phone stage so Squib is bringing a reciever with a phone stage. Cheers.

[grumpy]

Reason I ask is its sorta important to know if the cartridge will work with my phono stage. Hate to bring it for nothing..

[djnagle]

Good point. I was really hoping to get my octal phonostage done by tonight, but my mechinest was down for four days because of the storm and couldn't get my stuff done in time. I do have my Onkyo TT here. Cheers.

[grumpy]

Without knowing if its compatible I prolly wont bring it.

[dlwask]

I am unfortunately going to miss this one as well. I've got to help finish up a move for a family member and I have kid duty this weekend while the wife is out of town.

[grumpy]

If anyone in the Royal Oak area wants to hitch a ride im leaving about 1:30

[Drybasement]

Great time as usual. Many thanks to Dennis for being such a great host. The beer was cold, the brats and burgers were delicious and the music and company was superb.

Cheers

[grumpy]

I'll second that. Thanks Dennis !

[Andyman]

Yep, another fine afternoon spent with good food, great tunes, good company and a gracious host. It was nice seeing the regulars plus a lot of new faces there today. Those EV's really are nice and thanks for allowing us to commandeer your living room for the Hammond monos/PS1/Tyler Acoustics system.
And folks have got to see your Hagermann execution!!

Thanks Dennis for another great afternoon!!:thmbsp:

[grumpy]

I cant tell which ones which :)

[dmax99]

Thanks to Dennis for another enjoyable SMAC meet.

[jmathers]

Many thanks to Dennis for putting out a huge food and beverage spread and for letting us dance around his house for an afternoon. Folks, we really don't expect all hosts to lay out the goods like Dennis. Many, many thanks for hosting.

My favorite comment of the day was from Michael, who said "If you want to host a SMAC meet there's really no need to have a stereo system. Just tell folks to bring whatever they want to listen to." Here, here. We had a lot of gear there yesterday. Thanks to Dennis and to everyone for making it a success:yes:

I'm sorry I missed being able to listen to the DIY 6LU8 Compactron AK build amp. Too little time.

Jeff

[Andyman]

I cant tell which ones which :)

Kegger's got the beer in hand.
He did that so we could tell who's who....:D

[djnagle]

Thanks everyone for coming over. I had a great time. It was great to hear some great equipment in the house. Cheers.

[Kegger]

Yes Thank you Dennis!

Great place, the company and all the cool gear, Oh Yah BEER AND FOOD!!

Fantastic meet, and a great host!
