Member Rooms: Who's Got One and Whatcha Bringin'?

i'm trying to finish an Accuphase re-cap. i still have to actually order the new caps, and it will be cutting it pretty close.

Go for it, I'll be your virtual comrade-in-arms. I'm making an effort to put a little time in every night to do something, no matter how small. So far tho doing "this one little thing" has me disappear for three hours, not that I'm complaining.
 
I have a swap table and plan on bringing a lot of things, but rather than bringing stuff no one would be interested in, would it be acceptable for me to post a list of all that I have here? Or is there a better place for that? OR could I post a new thread with all that I have? If so, where would you guys recommend. Thanks!

Looks like I get to join the project group. I am fixing my Stax headband for the fest since it broke last night.
 
I've got a room, and the system will probably be:

Vortex Box Appliance and SOtM USB-spdif converter from Simple Green Computeres
Benchmark DAC1
some CD player, just in case
Dynakit ST-35
ACI (Audio Concepts) Sapphire IIILe speakers
Role Audio Sampan FTLs (they're small and cool)

Still looking for someone to share the room, so who knows?

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
 
Here's a taste of what's coming. In a moment of blind luck yesterday, I visited a fellow in town to buy a Yaqin MC10 . . . and ended up with that and an Audio Research D-76. Maybe a Heathkit AA32 in the future, but my room compatriot, Tube-It (Sean) is bringing his AA32 that he just got done refurbing.

I have a room, but I also have a very tight schedule just before Fest and am going to have a difficult time, at best, getting everything there and setup.

Is anyone interested in taking over a listening room? For anyone that has never hosted one, it is a great experience. You get to meet a lot of people, more than just floating around.. and you get incredible ideas as you hear your system get discussed. Please PM me if you are interested in taking over the listening room ASAP.

well, i got 'er done. i'm presently reassembling the amp (dis- and reassembly were the worst parts, frankly). keep your fingers crossed for me, hopefully i didn't mess anything up! it wasn't an easy amp to work on and various things could have gone wrong i suppose. if working, though, i will have a huge shit-eating grin on my face tonight :)

Congrats! Let us know how it goes.
