Subject: RCAS November Meeting at Magnolia Flagship Store
godzilla56...
Send Email Send Email
 
Our club has been invited to the brand new flagship Magnolia store (located in
Best Buy) at  17414 La Cantera Parkway (Rim Shopping Center) on Saturday 17
November 2012 at 1pm. First of all, dismiss from your mind the normal
expectation of mid fi and budget audio gear that we know Best Buy sells....this
store in a store is one of several Magnolia stores that sells McIntosh, Arcam,
Denon, B&W, Audioquest, Olive servers, Sonus Faber speakers and much more. They
have a high end stereo room and a flagship home theater as well. Our host will
be Fermin Saldana, formerly of Bjorns, and a friend of the RCAS.  I will be out
of town at the Austin F1 races but John has returned from Japan and will be
there to facilitate the meeting and announce upcoming plans. I hope everyone
will turn out for this meeting as it will be fun listening to demos on a wide
variety of gear. As always, bring interesting cd's.

Bob

Gentlemen, I recently won a fourth-generation, black, 16GB wifi-only iPad in a
raffle.

I already have an iPad, so I'm selling this one. It's still in the box with
shrinkwrap intact.

I'll sell it for $450. Feel free to call me at 210-784-7710 if you're
interested.

I might consider a trade, too.

Thanks. Gene Hopstetter, hopstetter@...

I have been advised by Fermin at Best Buy / Magnolia that they will have San
Antonio Spurs tickets for a door prize at this Saturday's RCAS meeting! Not that
any member needs additional incentives to come to a meeting, but this is great!
Please be sure to thank Fermin this Saturday for their generosity in hosting
this meeting and donating this great prize.

   Once again the meeting is this Saturday at 1pm, Magnolia/best Buy located in
the Rim shopping center, 17414 La Cantera Parkway.

Bob, sorry we weren't able to enjoy one of our chinwags yesterday. I bet the formula one race was awesome though.
I did not realize until reading through Fermin's email a second time that the tickets are for this Monday. ARG!
While I would surely enjoy seeing a Spurs game in person, unfortunatley due to circumstanes beyond my control it will not be possible this Monday.
Would love to to pass these onto someone who can go and have a great time. Bob?

I would love to go but I dont know if that is setting a good example for the
club or not. So, if anyone else would like the tickets please send in your name
tonite or tomorrow morning. If we have several Ill do a drawing with the names
and we will re-award the tickets. If nobody else wants them Ill talk to Fermin
about it.
Fair?

Congratulations, Francisco.
Bob, my luck waxes and wanes unpredictably. Last time I was in Reno I lost big.
However, you reminded me taht I need to followup regarding the V-DAC I won at Galen's. It has been burned in, and it sounds outstanding attached to the Sonos wireless Connect amp in my two-channel system. It turned the little 44.1 kHz 16 bit Connect unit into something that to me sounds virtually 24/96.

I was wondering about that DAC. I would be interested in comparing your V-DAC with my modded music hall DAC. I bought the Music Hall several years ago..... but at this years Rocky Mountain,  Jim Hall sold me a new improved output stage tube that improves the unit quite a bit..I also upgraded the power cord as well. I keep it in 24/96 mode as I like that sound quite a bit.. Finally, Im using a Music Fidelity async device since the music hall DAC did not offer asynch timing. It is a bit bulky with the extra wires but sounds quite good to me. Are you up to coming over some evening or weekend so we can "play" with the DACs?

I was wondering about that DAC. I would be interested in comparing your V-DAC with my modded music hall DAC. I bought the Music Hall several years ago..... but at this years Rocky Mountain,  Jim Hall sold me a new improved output stage tube that improves the unit quite a bit..I also upgraded the power cord as well. I keep it in 24/96 mode as I like that sound quite a bit.. Finally, Im using a Music Fidelity async device since the music hall DAC did not offer asynch timing. It is a bit bulky with the extra wires but sounds quite good to me. Are you up to coming over some evening or weekend so we can "play" with the DACs?

Bob, my luck waxes and wanes unpredictably. Last time I was in Reno I lost big.
However, you reminded me taht I need to followup regarding the V-DAC I won at Galen's. It has been burned in, and it sounds outstanding attached to the Sonos wireless Connect amp in my two-channel system. It turned the little 44.1 kHz 16 bit Connect unit into something that to me sounds virtually 24/96.

As some of you may know I have moved my Focal Mezzo Speakers into another
room. My main Pass amp stays with the Sonus Faber. I have tried a few amps from
friends but find they dont have the power to really make the Focals perform. My
other amps are fine for smaller speakers but not the Focals.

  Do any RCAS have an amp they would like to sell/trade? Criteria is they cant be
super heavyweight, anything over 50 pounds I cant move. Class A, AB or newer D
designs OK. Mono blocks or stereo. Must be able to audition here with the
Focals.

  No rush, but I would like to get them before the Xmas party. Ill go to audiogon
as a last resort but would rather do this as a local deal.

Thanks, Bob

Wsll, if you liked the sound of my Class D Audio amp at the previous Class D
meeting, I'd highly recommend having an amp built for you by ClassDAudio.com
using the SDS-254 boards.  Specs are 125WPC @ 8, and 250WPC @ 4ohm.  It's double
the power of the amp I brought and supposedly sounds just as good (but more
power).  Should be a hell of an amp.

Hi, Bob:

I might be willing to part with my NAD 275bee  power amp as I have been thinking of getting monoblocks to replace the NAD.  It is rated at 150 wpc into 8 ohms or 300 wpc into 4 ohms, both at .008 THD.  It is only about 6 months old.  Let me know if you would like to try it out sometime.

Hi, Bob:

I might be willing to part with my NAD 275bee  power amp as I have been thinking of getting monoblocks to replace the NAD.  It is rated at 150 wpc into 8 ohms or 300 wpc into 4 ohms, both at .008 THD.  It is only about 6 months old.  Let me know if you would like to try it out sometime.

As some of you may know I have moved my Focal Mezzo Speakers into another room. My main Pass amp stays with the Sonus Faber. I have tried a few amps from friends but find they dont have the power to really make the Focals perform. My other amps are fine for smaller speakers but not the Focals.

Do any RCAS have an amp they would like to sell/trade? Criteria is they cant be super heavyweight, anything over 50 pounds I cant move. Class A, AB or newer D designs OK. Mono blocks or stereo. Must be able to audition here with the Focals.

No rush, but I would like to get them before the Xmas party. Ill go to audiogon as a last resort but would rather do this as a local deal.

Thanks, Bob

I will bring the V-DAC. Not a problem as it is so easy to disconnect and carry around.
Sunday after next might work if you are free. That is the weekend before the RCAS party. What say you?

I was wondering about that DAC. I would be interested in comparing your V-DAC with my modded music hall DAC. I bought the Music Hall several years ago..... but at this years Rocky Mountain,  Jim Hall sold me a new improved output stage tube that improves the unit quite a bit..I also upgraded the power cord as well. I keep it in 24/96 mode as I like that sound quite a bit.. Finally, Im using a Music Fidelity async device since the music hall DAC did not offer asynch timing. It is a bit bulky with the extra wires but sounds quite good to me. Are you up to coming over some evening or weekend so we can "play" with the DACs?

Congratulations, Francisco.
Bob, my luck waxes and wanes unpredictably. Last time I was in Reno I lost big.
However, you reminded me taht I need to followup regarding the V-DAC I won at Galen's. It has been burned in, and it sounds outstanding attached to the Sonos wireless Connect amp in my two-channel system. It turned the little 44.1 kHz 16 bit Connect unit into something that to me sounds virtually 24/96.

I would love to go but I dont know if that is setting a good example for the club or not. So, if anyone else would like the tickets please send in your name tonite or tomorrow morning. If we have several Ill do a drawing with the names and we will re-award the tickets. If nobody else wants them Ill talk to Fermin about it. Fair?
