    I have more than 40 years of Audio history starting with Garrard Turntable, Fisher Integrated Amp(SS) and ADS bookself speaker on 1978.

    I had gone through more than 10 different amplifiers including Krell KSA 150, Jadis 500, speakers including Thiel, Apogee Duetta Signature, Avalon Ascent, B&W 801 Notilus, Wilson Watt Puppy 6.

    I gave up LP's when I moved from Berkeley to Chicago by car on 1989, since then I had been playing just redbook CDs.

    I have a beautiful listening room at third floor attic in a house at North West side of Washington State.

    It's dimension is 20ft(D) x 16ft(W) x 15ft (H) but open to the second floor living room.

    Above photo was taken Aug, 2018 before the current update.

    After updating systems, now I have the most musical and holographic sound at my home.

    My current system is

    Lansche 4.1 speaker, Silbaton 300B amplifier, Line Magnetic 508 amplifer, Lyngdorf 2170 used as room correction, Pre and DAC and Jay's Audio CDT2 Mk2 transport.

    I am using Spiritual Audio Vx9 power conditioner, Synergistic Blue Power cables, Perfect Path Technologies Ecard, Synergistic Blue fuse,,

    Speaker and Interconnect Cables used to be from Audio Note but recently I am auditioning some other cables.


    I would like to invite up to 4 people to my listening room and get their opinion on my audio system.

    Since the sweet spot is rather narrow, it is not a good idea to invite more than 4 people to my listening room.


    We will meet at restaurant near Burlington WA on 12 PM, Feb 9th.


    Lunch will be dutch pay (around 16$ per person).

    Then we will move to my house together and spend 4 hours and finish around 5pm.


    If you are interested in the meeting, please send me a private message to me by Saturday Feb 2nd.

    If there are more than 4 people interested in the meeting, then I will choose 4 people with more activity in the forum.

    On Sunday Feb 3rd, I will send invitation up to 4 people indicating the address of restaurant and my cell phone no by PM.

    I would be very keen in joining up provided we could take the opportunity to do some ABX testing of some of your components. Would that be of any interest?

    I am afraid that we do not have enough time to do ABX testing in 4 hours.

    Sorry.

    I will serve Coffee and water.

    To prevent DUI, I am not happy to serve alcohol.

    But I am willing to serve just one bottle of beer to each person.

    If you can get someone from Vancouver to come the meetup would be considered international. ;)

    A great opportunity for audiophiles in the NW Washington area. Music and mountain views.

    I used to live in Canada before moving to Washington State 6 years ago.

    But it takes just one hour drive from my previous home in Canada to current home in USA.:doh:

    What a great idea.... wish I was not so many miles away!

    I hope to see full follow-up in this thread after the event. Would be a dream to hear this system.
