Trying to get a geek meeting together.... wondering if you want to do it before Christmas? if so what day would work best? Saturday? Sunday? Times? Suggested dates and times are appreciated.
-
Saturday or Sunday nights are better for me. I don't have December's call schedule yet to talk specific dates. Looking forward to it though, hope I can attend. Thanks!
-
I vote for after the holidays. Saturday or Sunday can work, depending on the day and time

I never know when a good time is, kids and aging family are wildly unpredictable round here lately. Looking forward to whenever/wherever.
-
I'm flexible. My wife is always happy when I'm out.

QFT!
-
I would like to attend.

Consensus seems to be to let it ride until after the first of the year, and a weekend is preferred. So be it. Look at your calenders and pick a weekend in Jan or Feb. Can someone please contact Nick and see when he has his duty weekend?
-
Not that I will be able to make it, but it would be nice to have some geek meetings again... Almost March 2020 already!
I do miss "back in the day" the geek meetings with Tom at the shop(s) on Babcock Blvd... :(
Hope everyone has a great week...

I'd love to host a meeting. However it would have to be during the warmer months as my listening room barely has room for two. But, we have a pool and hot tub so you could bring your suit and snorkeling gear......
-
I'm up for a meet. I can even host if needed, but I'm up in Cranberry. I have two larger listening rooms and one in the basement/workshop. Right now I have every weekend in March free and clear.
-
I'm game. I may also be able to host, with some notice.
-
I am trying to convince / get schedules for two friends (one, of this site) Tentative they are thinking is late April or early May.... and yes we can have two meetings!
-
All of these sound good to me!
-
If I'm not on call I'm there.
-
I'm interested as well
-
I'm up for a meet, love seeing and hearing other's setups. Hate leaving with laundry list of new stuff I want. :) Like Jim said, more than one meet is cool with me. Hosting one here would be super tricky with the kids and sort of smaller listening space, my wife's office now inhabits a corner of my basement and cuts into seating.
Matt, did you move down from Franklin? Do you still happen the Double Impacts? If so, I'd love to hear them sometime. I love my Lore's, but you know how it is considering moving up the chain.

Hey, Sean, glad you're still enjoying those Lores! We moved to Cranberry from Franklin back in October. My wife and I both had the opportunity to relocate for business and jumped on the opportunity.
The Double Impacts were sold a while back. I enjoyed them, but found I preferred my ADS L2030's in most respects. Now that I have a BIG room in our new house, I have to say I've been tempted by the Moabs but, even still, not sure whether they'd be a significant step up or a lateral move from the 2030's.
One thing I loved about the DI's was their immediacy. Something about that tweeter/mid array allowed them to sound almost horn-like. Just really great speed and dynamics.
-
The MOABs look nice, but out of my range. Well they're pretty much all out of my range, unless I found a 2nd hand pair. Those are hard to come by. I always wonder if a step up will fill the room better, but then again they could be too big for the room and I'm already at the sweet spot. I've seen a few guys mention the bigger models can overpower a room.
Congrats on the move and settling on the ads's.

If you ever decide to host a get together, I've always wanted to hear a pair of 2030s. I've only been as far up the ADS food chain as L710s.

I'm game to host a get together. Still trying to get fully situated here, but making progress. My family room (with the L2030's) is just about complete. Just got my turntable back up and running on Saturday. I should be ready by end of March if anyone is interested.
-
I will be there. I work every day in Cranberry coming from Monroeville. Easy drive for me!

Does that mean you would be wanting a weeknight? If so, Tuesdays work best for me. Mondays and Fridays are often do-able. Wednesdays and Thursdays are nearly impossible for me.
-
Oh, and Matt, what kinds of music do you like? Any particular favorite artists? You guys all have systems that trounce mine, but I'm pretty proud of my record collection and always like to bring a couple gems in the host's favored genre to these get togethers.
-
Hey Matt, I
I'd love to come and hear your setup too. I will bring my famous buffalo chicken dip!!
thx
Mike

I mostly listen to newer rock, country, blues, etc, but still love classic rock, jazz, even classical. Dave Matthews, Chris Stapleton, Chili Peppers, John Mayer, Dire Straits, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bill Evans...and the list goes on and on. I'm very open to different types of music, so bring what you like! I'd love to demo some of your reference material so you get the full experience.

Now we're talking! You're welcome over any time! :D
A few notes:
Weekdays don't work well for me. I have two younger kids (4 and 6) and by the time we get home from work, school, daycare, etc., there's just enough time in the evenings for dinner, some family time, baths and bed.
That said, how's 3/28 look for everyone? That's the last Saturday in March.
One last note...my vinyl collection is VERY limited, so if there's something you want to hear, bring it with you! Also, I wouldn't mind one of you who are more experience with turntable setup to give my turntable a once over. I stream most of my music and I'm a relative newb when it comes to vinyl/analog. I'd certainly appreciate your advice!
-
I look forward to a geek meeting and as of right now, am a strong maybe, depending in part on the time.
-
I am not on call 3/28 but am working 9-4:30. If it's in the evening I would be very happy to attend. I lucked into an inexpensive Analog Productions press of "The Sky is Crying" and you gave me enough info to pull a few other things that I think you will enjoy as well. I've got some nice jazz as well.
-
Excellent! Thanks again for hosting. 3/28 works for me. Preferably, late afternoon or evening.
Mike's chicken dip is poison.
-
I've got a poker game on the schedule for that night. If you guys are meeting in the afternoon/early evening I should be able to make it.
Analogue Productions has never let me down, they make great records. I have the Texas Hurricane box set (33rpm version) and it's been worth every penny.
Chicken dip. I want to be embalmed with chicken dip.

Well then, you should bring Texas Flood and I will find something else (I would like to hear that one as well). I think you all need to hear my Japanese WLP of "Eat a Peach", for example.

So how's Saturday, 3/28/2020 from 5:00pm to whenever sound to everybody?
I don't mean to muddy the waters but, as an alternative, we could do Sunday, 3/29/2020 from 2/3pm to whenever. I'm flexible and could go either way. Just want to throw it out there in case it works better for most.
-
Either of those times should work for me, I'll leave it to majority rules.
I'll bring along the SRV and and maybe a couple others.
-
I would like to attend.
-
I'm good with either.
-
Ok, let's stick with the original plan of 3/28/2020 at 5PM.
What's the best way to share my address without leaving it visible on the forum for all of eternity?

You can ....
Perfect! Since attachments are only viewable to registered users, you can leave this run until after the meet. I'll shoot you a PM when it's time to remove. Hope you can make it, Vince!
-
Got it, I'll be there with some records and STaL's remote :)
-
Pretty sure no one "wants" to cancel this, but maybe in everyone's best interests we should? Ultimately it's up to Matt and whatever he decides I'm supportive of that.
-
That's a such good idea. Postpone till end of April.
-
I was thinking the same, guys. Let's postpone until this passes by. Date to be confirmed. Stay healthy, friends.
-
Sad but true.
-
Postponing is definitely the smart thing to do. I don't expect this to last all summer but I do expect things to not be back to normal anytime soon.
-
Understand and agree, but still a bummer
