Time to have a RAVE with both Lampizator and GTAudio Works. I am planning the RAVE a bit differently this time. My primary system will remain identical initially and later we can start swapping equipment in and out of the setup.


Primary System Located in Basement


Speakers: Zu Audio Druid V
Amp: Triode Lab / Finale 2a3 SET (Sovtek / Shuguang 2a3, RCA/GE/Russian NOS 6sn7/6hc8, 5v4/gz32 rectifier tube)
Amp: Response Audio 3205 Extreme (el34/kt88/kt77/6550 power tubes, 12ax7 and 12at7 as preamp, phase splitter)
Amp: Folsom Audio 7297 DIY amp
Preamp: 4P1L DIY Preamp or Gary Dodd Unity 6H30pi Preamp
DAC: Lampizator Gen4.5 with DSD128 and 384K PCM
PC Audio Receiver: Either a Win10 or Linux system running Signalyst NAA (Network Audio Adapter)
Audio Music Player: Win10 based Signalyst HQPlayer converting everything over to DSD128 (the server has enough juice left to upconvert everything over to DSD256 or potentially DSD512)
CD/SACD - Pioneer Elite DV59ai


The second set of speakers will be in the family room and they are going to be GTAudio Works speakers.
I will let Fred (Gopher) or Rob provide information the Lampizator equipment that they will bring along and will update the GTAudioworks information as I get them.


Even though the event is listed in the Lampizator it is open to everyone. Either send me a pm or post in the thread so I can have a head count.

If you have never been to our house please keep couple of house rules in mind - no alcohol or meat dishes will be served and please take off your shoes (feel free to bring house shoes/sandals). You break the rules I end up in the dog house and no more events

If you are looking for used CD/Vinyl you might want to stop at Princeton Record Exchange which is 10 minutes from the house and close to the Princeton University.

Bring the non-alcoholic beer. No need to bring any food. Usually we have plenty of food.

Thanks for hosting this event, Deepak! I know we will have a great time.

I'll likely bring an Atlantic, as I know that's a piece people are curious about and also a new Amber 2 and likely a Golden Gate. We'll also plan on lugging over a Komputer or two.

Should be a great time. I hope to see many of you there!

Change in plans. Just heard from Greg @ GTAudio Works and he will not be able to attend due to other commitments on Oct. 22nd.


I still plan to have a 2nd setup just need to find something to use speaker wise :-), may have to use my AV123 X-Statik's

I am rescheduling the RAVE from Oct. 22nd to Nov. 12th. Hopefully, all the folks that were planning to attend or were on the fence can still attend.
 
I've got a balanced Atlantic with tube rectification and superclock upgrades burning in now for this event. We should have a great time!
 
Unfortunately not, man. There was just too much uncertainty surrounding this years RMAF to commit.

Would have been cool to catch up again. Have an after hours brew for me and I'll catch you next rodeo.
 
Folks, if you are in the area or even from out of town come join us. If you are coming from out of town and plan to stay overnight search for hotels in 08540 area. I am about 10 minutes north of Princeton University.
 
If you plan to attend and have not responded can you let me know by Nov. 5th so I can ensure that I have correct head count for food and drinks.
 
Contact information sent to everyone who has shown interest in attending. Let me know if I missed anyone.
