It was a blast!  Great to see so many Vintage hifi folks there.  Like a reunion of sorts.  Thanks Tom and Nick!!  I am already looking forward to next year!

Really nice to see old friends and meet new ones!  We need to do that more than once a year.

a bunch of nice sounding stuff. Nice that I'm finally able to actually listen to file music for the first time...

Pics are great as always Pepe, any chance I could get copies of the ones featuring Anders' 45 player?

Anyone have a decent turntable left over. Without cartridge is fine. Thx

Bunni I had a 45 changer that looked exactly like that one when I was a kid. It was my parents and had tubes.

Had a blast.  Wish I could have stayed longer.  Attendance seemed to have been better than in the past (and not just VHF members) and people were buying stuff.  Thanks Nick and Tom

I want to thank Tom and Nick for putting this together again.   I had a great time seeing the guys I met last year and meeting some new folks who I had previously on met online.  Its a lot easier connecting names, face and stories in person.

I agree that more once a year should be a goal.  Maybe a fall get together could be do-able.

Agree, most photo creds go to my daughter (I had the smaller camera so do deserve some!).  Bunni - will send you larger pics of Anders TT,  I think there were more, just posted some.

Thank you Nick and Tom (Nick: I did try to go to Killians for lunch - they open at 4 on Saturdays :P)

Happy Sunday everyone...

Who had the Dyna tuner and did it sell?   It would be a nice match for my PAS.

I was too busy selling to really take note of what others were selling.

Anders has a few of them he worked on to display at a fairly recent PARS meeting.  They do have tubes.  That one was the best of the bunch so far.  If he ever has any time, he can get the rest finished.

Thanks so much Pepe, and your daughter has a good camera eye like her dad!
