Icarium Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) Hosting a little meet if anyone is interested. As for now I have me, foo_me and Craig in. Craig is in town delivering his daughter to her new school and has a day to kill and a new toy to share (If he throws it together in time amongst his busy-ness "Should be good to go, I have all the parts here, and boards are scheduled to arrive today. I could have it working by this weekend"). My place is in Mountain View, 94043, CA. Start time will be around 11 am to whenever PM me if you are interested. My place is tiny so I think I can support a max of 8ish. Details: "The EC 215 is a hybrid by polar, 15 watts 8 ohms, 30 watts per channel 4 ohms. Single ended in, and out." Speaker amp etc. Edited September 28, 2010 by Icarium
Voltron Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 Hey Dan, I would love to join you guys but between Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and other stuff, I am not sure about availability. I will let you know. Cheers, Al
Icarium Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Posted September 28, 2010 Sounds good Al! Would be great seeing you again But totally understand that there are exciting other things happening that weren't announced so last minutely ;p
foo_me Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 i'll bring my k1000s to check it out headphone amp too right?
ironbut Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 Hey Dan, I would love to join you guys but between Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and other stuff, I am not sure about availability. I will let you know. Cheers, Al If you go to Hardly Strictly on Sat., do not miss Trombone Shorty on the Star stage. He rocked the house at Monterey this year (twice!). Maybe I'll see you there,.. I'm sure that Michael Romanowski will be there for part of the weekend too. Keep an eye out for him.
Voltron Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 I really like Trombone Shorty's new album and I'm not surprised he was great live. Definitely plan to see him.
Icarium Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Posted September 28, 2010 I'm not 100 percent sure, but k1ks will work with it since yours have speaker friendly bare wire ;p
909 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 Sounds like a fun time, really wish I lived closer... BTW, I just visited Craig's website for the first time in a long time and was surprised to read he is discounting the Zana Deux SE.
Icarium Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Posted September 29, 2010 hopefully his sales are doing well! I guess his amps compete with each other though but i think the BA is selling well.
blessingx Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 Dan, also not sure if I'll be in the city Saturday, but if not I'm in if you have a spot left. Plus I have a DAC to return.
Icarium Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Posted September 29, 2010 Grin, no interest so far so plenty of spots ;p
ironbut Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 Sounds like a fun time, really wish I lived closer... BTW, I just visited Craig's website for the first time in a long time and was surprised to read he is discounting the Zana Deux SE. Hey David, IIRC, it looks like the wait time is reduced as well. I wonder if Craig found a new assembly house that takes less time and charges him less for the same level of work? In this economy, I bet that kinda service is getting pretty cut throat! (it's not like aerospace is booming right now and US assembly has to compete with the whole damn world too)
Icarium Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) Got an email from Craig apparently his wife made him aware that they actually are coming up the weekend of Oct 30th instead of this weekend. So I guess this is postponed until then.... if someone can edit the first post with that info much obliged. If there are any updates to the situation I'll update this thread. Edit: Yup just heard back from him. It's Oct 30th ;p Edited October 1, 2010 by Icarium
atothex Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 Well that postponement might work better for me. I'd definitely be down to kick it and maybe get some pho.
zippy2001 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 Sounds like a fun time, really wish I lived closer... Ditto.. BTW, I just visited Craig's website for the first time in a long time and was surprised to read he is discounting the Zana Deux SE. It looks like Craig has one blemished ZDse for sale for $2100 on the New & Used Gear page.
guzziguy Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 I'll probably come up for the meet. Would anybody be able to put up a fellow HC'er for a night or maybe two? The room would have to be soundproofed as I'm a terrific snorer. Otherwise I'll find an inexpensive motel nearby.
Icarium Posted October 2, 2010 Author Report Posted October 2, 2010 Haha, guzziguy you are welcome to come if you want, but I'm not sure it'll be worth it ;p Will be a very small meet in a very small space. (8-10 people max with less functional rigs then that). But would be good to see if you if you decide to swing it. Socalers so hardcore.
Icarium Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Posted October 18, 2010 Okay so this is coming up so a reminder to those interested. PMs reconfirming your interest would be good ;p I'll reach out to those who PM'd me before when I have spare minutes. A reminder that space is somewhat limited so preference will be given to those who rsvp'd the first go around, but there weren't that many of those and some have indicated that they can't make this new date.
Icarium Posted November 2, 2010 Author Report Posted November 2, 2010 Yes the new amp will be about 1k. Why the bemusement? Craig's amps are one of the best values from an established maker (Along with headamp/woo audio) not to mention what all it can do.
crappyjones123 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Posted November 2, 2010 Yes the new amp will be about 1k. Why the bemusement? Craig's amps are one of the best values from an established maker (Along with headamp/woo audio) not to mention what all it can do. I meant $1k seems a little on the low side for ec. I expected the amp to be a bit more. Also any pictures of it Dan? I only see the ba in the meet impressions thread unless the hybrid is hidden somewhere
Aura Posted November 2, 2010 Report Posted November 2, 2010 I meant $1k seems a little on the low side for ec. I expected the amp to be a bit more. Also any pictures of it Dan? I only see the ba in the meet impressions thread unless the hybrid is hidden somewhere It's there, in a zana deux enclosure. I think danc noted that in the thread.
