Cables and racks added. I was selective about cables - bring what you want to bring in addition to the above. I will bring appropriate ICs as well for my phono pre and AI pre (2 sets of ICs).

Don't forget to bring music!!!!

Jeff,
The AVIs have a built in DAC but can take the analog out of another if people want to do comparisons.

Ok cool. I'd like to hear Ashok's Keces dac if he's willing to bring it.

Mike,

Am I correct in assuming that you are going to be bringing a computer monitor for the Mac Mini system? Does it have a DVI-D input?

I ask because I am thinking of getting my networked media tank (ioBox 100) that I use as a computer audio source. It has an HDMI output, and I will bring with me an HDMI-DVI cable, which I might be able to plug into your monitor (if you are OK with it of course).

Thanks,

Ashok

I just started pulling some things together to pack up and realized my Kimber speaker leads are not terminated. No big deal unless someone wants to do quick changes...

We can use the Kimber as is, or I would be willing to buy terminals if I could find them locally, or could substitute the Linn K400 and or DH Labs T8's or I could just throw the whole mess into a box, go have a Ale, and figure it out Friday Afternoon??

I've got some flex pins in the car, which you can have. They crimp on, or solder on. When you're done, you can cut them off, and toss 'em, if you like.

See me on Friday, when you get in, if you want them.

Thanks Ernie, one less worry, now I can sleep easy tonight.

Will try to catch up with you Friday afternoon, EH!

I have some Rat Shack screw on bananas I can bring as well. Rather have the Kimber than anything else.

Great, I will bring both sets. I believe they are 14 or 15 foot of both the 8TC and 4TC.
