Stone….congrats on the good news!!  Jeff of Arabica is coming to Decfest…that’s awesome!!  Haven’t spoken to him in quite some time..it will be great to reconnect with him.

Dom

Randy…thanks for the heads up.  I’ll make sure to create a small playlist of desirable songs on a USB stick from my library.  If we are preparing for the worst…should we configure the USB stick as a Windows or Mac OS?  

I plan to arrive on Thursday and go to a nearby record store to buy a few albums.  Will we will be able to play vinyl at the fest…or are we limited to strictly digital?

Thanks,

Dom

Steve has told me that the internet connection at the Fest this year might be a bit "iffy", if available at all.

I plan to take my Verizon wireless receiver, so if there is a window in the listening room I am assigned to I will be able to run a network cable from it to my streamer.
Hoping for the best .....

If that fails, I am creating a couple of USB thumb drives with music that can be plugged into my streamer.

So ..... if anyone has a favorite song or three that they would like to hear in my assigned listening room, please email it (them) to me and I will do my best to include them in my USB playlist.

Looking forward to seeing everyone .....

Stone, so happy to read of the good heart health news!

Enjoy, RY. I'm 20 months in on my Takshaka IC's 1 Meter. Run them direct from DAC to ZMA and with Pre below. Stellar.

With the Labor Day Sale.....I have coming a 3 meter pair of Adder Speaker Cables. I will run in conjunction with my ZenWave speaker cables. Effective 9 gauge. Experiment, however, I could leave well enough alone. Should have them soon and I will report back. Having Jonny put 200 hours on them.

Added a couple pair of Genalex Gold Lion 6922's in mix...loving these.

My Rotel RA-1062 (as a Preamp) died in my mid-fi Rig. 22 years old and 15 years straight of everyday use. They don't make them like this any more. I bought a
Schiit SAGA 2. Ordered on Monday received on Wednesday this week. I live logistically close to San Antonio/Corpus Christi where it ships from! So only two days of horid TV speakers endured! Wonderful no frills unit. Love it!

Look forward to the DECFEST Feed/end of October. Rumor has it Jeff of Aribica is bringing some of his distilled best.

Me? I got great news back in June. Echocardiogram of heart went awesome and I am walking 5 miles/3 times a week. Of course + music heaven with my Decware ZMA.  

Cheers, Stone of Tone (PS: SKOL Vikings/NFL Ticket)

Those count as far as I'm concerned. My grandfather's is at one of my brothers' house and I listened to a winning national contest speech my Dad made as a teenage on 78 rpm last month on it.

Well in that total is four Victrola disk players that would be considered systems in the early 20th century when the players was produced.

When I got my JR. in it was the coldest day of the year, and the meters were not working. It took several days and suddenly they work. My guess is that if there is no sound issue that there may have been a meter issue. . . . When I inquired and my meters were not working Steve advised me to send it back when I was ready to.
