I forget his name... he's new to the club. If you're interested in the RTR, I'm pretty sure Tom could track it down for you.

So how successful was it? How much stuff got sold?  ???
Title: Re: Swap Meet Pictures - May 26 2012
Post by: OldiesButGoodies on May 27, 2012, 10:28:12 AM
I think it was a success based on what I saw during the two hours I was there.  Being the critical bastard the I can be,  I have some improvement suggestions below for the next one:

SS:

The Ref3a monitors promise to be a lot of fun. already emailed the factory to see if they sell upgrades. I suspect the one lonely cap inside is tired,  so that may ger replaced. May redo the grills tomorrow.  Will also report more on the sound.

I started the weekend with a new laundry sink to install in my honey-do list. Now I have 136 bricks 3 bags of concrete and a firepit to build,  plus a toilet and so e tile work.  I hope to get some music listening in late at night.

Do you need more coke?

The 3a monitors are sounding better after tweaking the woofer surrounds a bit.  The grill frames are nude and ready for new fabric,  but I will leave that project for next weekend.  Listening to them through a upgraded Carver C-1 on loan from Tom.  Great preamp to begin with, made better by Anders.
