Hi,
We would like to achieve our workshop dreams, corral in our ad-hoc workshop impulses and channel those impulses into a couple/few workshops during our get-togethers.
I would like to:
1. Coordinate workshops so they happen through this thread and PMs.
2. Set up and maintain a schedule.
I will bring a posterboard tripod and posterboard with workshop schedules, locations and times.
Definite workshops for February 23rd:
1. Speaker refoaming workshop. Bostown will show off his voice coil centering and his use of adhesive skills at 12:00 on Saturday February 23rd.
Why is this workshop so early you ask?
It takes a few hours for the glue to set and the drivers to be reinstalled to demonstrate how well the refoaming works. This way the repaired speakers can be demonstrated before too many people have to leave.
Do you have a pair of speakers that need the woofers and/or midranges refoamed? Are you willing to:
1. Purchase and bring the refoaming kits?
2. Pull the drivers from the speaker cabinets before the workshop?
3. Bring the speaker cabinets and all fastening hardware for reinsertion and testing afterwards?
4. Arrive early enough before noon to make sure the speaker baskets have warmed up?
We are looking for a candidate who is willing to do the legwork to get everything they need for cone driver refoaming except for the refoaming itself. Bostown can provide guidance on items 1-4.
PM me. We can only do this for one person.

Record Grading Workshop
This idea has been floated between Todd MacDona, truck99 and Tom in RI.
Are any of you willing to work with me to make sure that this happens by laying down some parameters for this? I will also ask Stephanie Gaynor if she is interested in this workshop.
Post your answers in the thread and PM me for coordination on time, room, what you'd need, and other important information.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Nelson Pass Room:
Both Gigbyt and BillyK have expressed interest in this.
This isn't really a workshop, but should be coordinated so we have speakers, interconnects, players, tables, etc.
Would it make sense to have an East vs. West speaker showdown in the same space with the same gear? How much power do the Pass amps deliver and how efficient are the proposed speakers?
Should a DAC smackdown happen in the same space with the same gear? I can volunteer my Audioquest Dragonfly against C6 Bill's piece of Schiit.
Please PM me with information and questions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Since we're all surprisingly good at filling up the day with conversation, consumption, buying & selling and outright schmoozing, limiting the number of informal workshops would be good to help keep it spontaneous and fun. Since we seem to get together about three times a year, we can space workshops out over the different get-togethers as interest and presenting talent is available and to limit the amount of work necessary, to keep there from being overlapping workshops where you might want to drop in on both at the same time, and to keep it from turning into work for a few.
Here is a list of other possible workshops from this thread and the last couple. Let's keep a running list.
*Turntable setup
*Multimeter use
*Achieving system synergy
Any of these or others may pop-up or drop-out on short notice. This thread will contain that information.
Post in the thread and PM me for coordination on room and times.
