  • Don't really care for #4 but everything else is more than fantastic. I gotta start listening to some Zakk Wylde, for real though. Excellent song choices as usual!

  • Very interesting titanium mids just arrived at my doorstep this afternoon from NedLab.  Eugen is the owner of NedLab and the lead designer from Tranducer Labs fame.  This is a one-of-a-kind driver - not yet in production. Some lucky bastard is going to walk away with these in exactly 10 days.

  • Man I wish I could make it. Again, maybe next year. 
  • Anyone interested in buying some MCM 55-2669 5.25" aluminum modbasses?  I have 4 that I could bring to Iowa.  They have been mounted for testing but are otherwise new and flawless.  I'd take $15 each for them.  I don't have their original boxes.

    Exhibitor registration will be closing on Tuesday.  At that point we might be able to entertain a few "second entries" from our current list of presenters.  Attendee registration will close on Thursday night.  Remember - you MUST register if you're attending, even if you're not bringing a project.  These events are already hard enough to plan - not having a good headcount is infuriating and just messes things up. Thanks for understanding.

  • Also looking forward to hearing a new @PWRRYD tube amp, a bunch of awesome registered projects from old DIY friends and new DIY dudes and participating in the informal listening session camaraderie at the hotel. We are less than a week away!!  Shit!!

    I'm diggin the DIY tube gear!  What's up with the power amp on the bottom-right with empty sockets? :(
  • Hi Maynard,

    I shouldn't have put the distressed face at the end of my last post... what I meant to say was "Tell me more about that amp".  

    On my small phone screen it's hard to tell if those are octal or 9 pin sockets.  Thanks.
  • This is a sick opportunity for somebody to scoop up a LCR system at the Iowa DIY.  Darren Wander (Deewan on the forums) is looking to sell his Statement II mains and center channel for $1700.  This is less than the combined price of the kits!!  This will not be on the swap meet table for lowball offers.  If anyone is seriously interested, I can put you in touch Darren and you can work out the details. It's hard to tell from the pics, but this is a custom metallic black and pearl automotive finish.  Serious inquiries only, please.

  • Marty what happened with the copper veneered speakers?
  • Unless you have a better
    design in mind, these are a steal!

    and the Raal tweeters...

    Good memory!  Unfortunately the woofer position was too low and the interaction between floor and the Usher 8955A made for an awful bass bloom requiring a rebuild.  Since  I'd always wanted to try something with a slimmer profile 'V2' of the Gambits was born.  The copper veneer was salvaged and may someday reappear. 

    Thanks for asking!

    I've never had Raal tweeters, John...but if you have a pair you'd like me to try!!!  ;)

    Didn't you, your wife, son, or sibling win some at Iowa a few years back?

    I was not drinking at the time...

  • Was it Chris Roemer who got them?  Anyone recall?

    We gave Raals away once - in 2013 I believe and Chris was indeed the winner.

  • I remember Chris getting them as well.  Maybe a nano neo "special edition"?

    Keep an open mind, but don't let your brain fall out.

  • Exhibitor registration is closed.  There are a few (literally like three) slots left if any of the current exhibitors are interested in showing a second entry. I'm only announcing it here, so if  you're interested, either shoot me an email or say something in this thread.  Thanks and see you all soon!!

    I don't see it being a problem, but where is your demo?  You're one of the slackers who is making life a living hell for JP  ;)  Just kidding, but will you be uploading a demo soon or bringing a thumb drive to the hotel on Friday??  What's the plan?

  • I am bringing a second pair, the hybrid open baffles.  I planned to just demo them at the hotel but will take a slot only if there is one open after others have a chance to reply.  I know Ron E has a second pair he would like to demo, so give him the first shot before me.
