Title: 7-7 Meeting at Sparky's
Post by: Slim-Shaddy on June 20, 2013, 12:13:14 PM: I'm thinking we can kick off around 5:00. I'll have stuff to drink (beer, pop, water), and be grilling stuff (dead animals). There will be a potential of 4 pairs of speakers to be heard in various environments (Den, Basement, Living room, Outside), so bring your LPs, cds and tapes. Everyone on the forum is invited, but please RSVP so I know how much to stock. If you want to bring a side dish or beverage to share, do it. If the meeting goes into the night, there will be a campfire to sit around.

I think that pretty much covers it.

Unless that is a day I have to travel for work (don't think it is), I will try to be there.

Or is it R. Kelly?
Title: Re: 7-7 Meeting at Sparky's
Post by: SunnyDaze on July 07, 2013, 01:22:21 PM: I won't be making it. I'm having a dreadful RA flare up. I've been on a steady diet of Indometacin and black cherry juice for 3 days now and getting out of bed is still nearly impossible.

Have fun gang!
Title: Re: 7-7 Meeting at Sparky's
Post by: Reverend on July 07, 2013, 04:36:22 PM: I'm not going to make it either. Have a beer or four for me.

Post by: schwarcw on July 08, 2013, 12:05:29 AM: I had a great time at Sparky's tonight. I could not stay as long as I would have liked but it was a great time. The food and hospitality was first class. It was fun to spend some time with the good people of the Vintage HiFi Forum. If you weren't there you missed some good fun!

Post by: OldiesButGoodies on July 08, 2013, 06:35:20 PM: Sparky - thanks for the invite, sorry I could not make it. After all I did not travel anywhere, my flight got canceled by Delta because... I am not sure why - they never tell you. Maybe the pilot was hung over. Anyway, sounds like those who made it had a good time.

Pepe, there will be more down the road.

Anders, you were right on what was causing the Turntable to skip. The lift was set a tad too high... it's good now.
