MexicanDragon Posted September 15, 2012 Report Posted September 15, 2012 It's cool, I have 25 weeks to train for it. Also, last week in NYC I realized there's the magical thing called "taxis." It's brilliant. Chicago should look into 'em. **BRENT** Quote
luvdunhill Posted November 11, 2012 Report Posted November 11, 2012 So, I'm thinking about taking the Amtrak from AA on Friday, and arriving in Chicago at 4pm. I wouldn't probably be up for the show that day, but dinner/drinks, etc. Then the show on Saturday and Sunday. Would that be a reasonable plan? Quote
jvlgato Posted November 12, 2012 Report Posted November 12, 2012 That sounds great! I plan on making the show for at least one day, and ought to be able to do dinner and drinks, as well! I already bought my tix. Keep in mind that Union Station is in Chicago, while Axpona is by O'Hare. You'll have to decide if you want to stay closer to dinner/drinks or to audio. I also have a sofa and floorspace in my basement (which is where the A/V and beer is!). Not much of an offer, but the price is right! Welcome to the Midwest, it's great to have you! Quote
morphsci Posted November 12, 2012 Report Posted November 12, 2012 Looks like Peter has a tumbling meet that weekend, so I am out. Quote
Aura Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Posted November 12, 2012 ^ Darn. With Jim out, my guest bed is free. Marc - you want it? Quote
luvdunhill Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 Cool! I'd love to take it. I've bought my plane ticket and at some point need to buy my show tickets. Quote
luvdunhill Posted January 10, 2013 Report Posted January 10, 2013 Forgot to post my travel details: Â Arrive Friday, March 8 3:58pm at Union Station (via Amtrak) Depart Monday, March 11 10:25am at Midway (via Southwest) Quote
Aura Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Anyone else have plans to join us? Looks like we have a 4 man crew for Saturday and Sunday – Mike G, John, Marc, and myself. John and Mike G: how likely is it that you can or want to go to the show on Friday? If you want to pass, I think that'd be okay since Marc is arriving later. Maybe we can gather at my place? Mike G: did you want to crash in Oak Park during the weekend, or any particular night? Marc: on Friday, instead of Blue Line, take Green Line CTA towards Harlem and exit at Ridgeland. I'll pick you up from that stop whenever you arrive. I think John is the only one who has actually bought tickets, so we need to remember to do that. Edited February 9, 2013 by Aura Quote
jvlgato Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 I doubt I can turn this into a whole weekend deal in light of my recent weekend trip. But I can probably plan on one long day of something. Maybe Sat afternoon and night? Or something along those lines ... Quote
Aura Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Posted March 3, 2013 Any last takers on this? Less than a week to go. Quote
deepak Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 If anyone listens to the Daedalus speakers, can you post your impressions? Â (website says they are on the 9th floor in the King Exhibit room) Quote
Aura Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Posted March 9, 2013 Here we go. Starting at Audio Engine, John is interested. These really are tiny ass cabinets. Quote
Aura Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) TEO Audio. Throwing a big soundstage here with lots of depth moreso than width. Edited March 9, 2013 by Aura Quote
Aura Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Audio Note. I think these are too far into the corners. Midrange is decent. Edited March 9, 2013 by Aura Quote
Voltron Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) TEO Audio. Throwing a big soundstage here with lots of depth moreso than width. Needs Moar Toobz! Edited March 9, 2013 by Voltron Quote
Aura Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Posted March 9, 2013 Madisound. Not really listening, more a sales room and the rig is way quiet. Quote
Aura Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Posted March 9, 2013 Deadalus in the Purity Audio. Playing some fucking smooth jazz and I refuse to give impressions off this shit. Quote
Aura Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Okay heard some other stuff in the Purity room and I'm underwhelmed. I'm not getting much warmth. Need to revisit, I think this can be better. Edited March 9, 2013 by Aura Quote
Aura Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Posted March 9, 2013 MBL 2 of 3. I think we skipped the middle and went straight to the top. Quote
Aura Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Posted March 9, 2013 Mytek. Cool multichannel DSD and some recognizable amps that feel like they're crushing these Sony's. Quote
morphsci Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 Fuck! I wish I was there to see the Mytek. Fucking real life! Quote
