AKFest 2010 SMAC Room Equipment

I got a Denon that plays SACDs, works great!:D

: runs and hides from Jeff :
:banana::)

Of course, this player must come. Great job on a thought-to-be-dead, great sounding player. Kegger is pissed too.

Folks who cannot fix things are condemned to see them refurbed and working in hell. :yes:

OK, so lets think about this, Dennis has 1T of Tunes, I have a measly 680G, DMAX99 wants someone to bring all their records (I can only assume he really meant Rob) and he also wants someone else to bring all their SACD's.

How long do we have the room for?

Should I bring my cot?

What, you don't want the "other" switch plate?
 
Aaah, it now rings a bell, what does it read, B.F.P.C.?

The one I have on it now reads: Nuclear Power, F&%$ OFF, F&%$ ON. I also have the stock Power on / Power off switch plate. But I can have one made up that says "what are you looking at"? :D
 
I vote for these two pres:

Juicy Music Blueberry ~ DMAX99
Rogue Audio Metis Magnum ~ Roadrider100

Jeff

I second that .....emotion!

The 'JMB,' a very "unusual" looking pre to compliment/contrast those very purdy NOS mono~blocks of DMAX!
 
My new VPI 16.5 is being delivered to the fest so we'll have that available just in case someone needs a record wash. I'll bring some homebrew cleaning solution.
 
Time to do some culling. Have we decided on preamps? Got about a week and a bit before the main event.

Updated. See first post in this thread.

Olson, you're going to have to rent a truck to bring all that stuff.:yes:

Can anyone lessen the burden for Dave? - anyone for example have a rack they can bring?
