Burning Amp 2022! October 15th & 16th, Fort Mason San Francisco and Online to the World!

[Tom V]

Hi!

In previous years we’ve had GTG’s the night before BA starts in Chinatown, do you know of any such GTG’s this year?

Best,
Anand.

I haven't planned a Chinatown banquet for this year, but if anyone wants to promote one, feel free to do so.

Does anyone like the idea of a beer and wine happy hour in the Firehouse Sunday evening after all the gear is put away? You can all discuss Papa's Tokin SIT amps!

That works for me, Tom. I am in for beer and wine after gear is put away.

What time can we start setting up on Sunday, say 8 am? I will be driving with speakers from Davis.

Looking forward to seeing you Rahul. I’ll be in SJ from 10/11-10/18.

What time does the amp building start on Saturday?

 

[AmpsRus]

Anyone going from Santa Cruz or San Jose?

I have a TON of quality components I need to give away, and was hoping someone going that way could take the parts to put on a "give away" table.

Big heatsinks, Sony Vfets, couple hundred IRF-240 TO-3 FETS, full tube of TO-220 IRF-9610 and another with IRF-610's, common voltage transformers, etc.

PM me if able or interested. Sorry will not part these out or ship. Take a couple of boxes and share.

Registration for builders opens at 9:30 and the build will start at 10. I'm looking forward to it and I hope everyone else is too!

I am off to Sea Ranch to visit Nelson Pass and collect the Precious for our auction and raffle. Nelson has promised me a full load of goodies for the Greedy Boyz: a Pass amp! high-end speaker drivers! Tokin SITs! and more!

I actual don’t have the Vfets, but do have LU1014D’s to make 3 First Watt F3’s.

The greedy boys will be happy. I’m clearing out my garage. :7)

Including a complete analog devices, blackfin DSP development kit, Rotel line conditioner, some group buy circuit boards, two anodized amp and Preamp cases, a whole bunch of tordial transformers, and several factory DAC development boards.

PassDIY.com stuffed Ono boards I bought from another member, but have never tested or used are also included.

Member Mordikai has agreed to drive the stuff to the event.

The transformers I received from Nelson, and they are marked fail. The only issue is they have a very slight hum that is really have no factor unless you’re paying $25,000 for an amplifier.

Is there going to be a schedule of start times for the different presenters for those of us attending over Zoom who need to also do other things?

Thanks.

THE PRECIOUS!

I have just returned from Sea Ranch with an incredible stash of high-end parts for the auction and give-away. I will update once I inventory it, but some of the items include:

- A FirstWatt amp from the pilot run (1st 10 built).

- Two pairs of AudioNirvana 6 inch drivers, a pair of 6 inch TangBands (167E?), and pair of TangBand FE87s.

- 10 pairs of matched Tokin JFETS, and two dozen quads of LU1014D.

- A case of new old stock mid-bass drivers and a case of new-old-stock ribbon tweeters. MTM anyone?

- A box of miscellaneous toroidal core transformers, plus a case of the transformers as formerly used in Pass Lab products.

- Five assembled ACA Mini's, five ACA Mini essential kits, six assembled Korg Nutube pre-amp boards.

- An amplifier built by Siegfried Linkwitz

We will let our online Zoom folks participate in the auction for some of these items, but the rest will be for the in-person raffle.

Ooohhhh!!!! Wow, that's a great haul!


Chinatown dinner Saturday night - PM me if you're interested.

 

[A Jedi]

Well, with BA being on zoom and scheduled during my birthday weekend, I feel like I've won a raffle two years in a row.

 

[WBS]

Wow Tom! That was a fast turnaround!!!

I'm also wondering if there is an estimated start time for the presenters and events. I have family responsibilities that preclude my attendance. I'll need to plan my day around them.

 

[Tom V]

I have the schedule or at least the run order. I will see if anyone has an update on the length of their presentation and then get it out. But basically pre-show 12:30, with presentations and Q&A 1:00-4:30 Saturday and 1:00-4:30 with an auction after until 5:30. Well that's the plan but who knows about schedules? Art Noxon, Scott Hinson Saturday, Jon VerHalen, Tony Salsich, Nelson Pass Sunday plus some updates.

[tomchr]

I seem to recall seeing a schedule for the workshops and seminars - and also that some of the seminars were on Saturday. Now I can't seem to find that. Would one of you fine folks point me to the schedule, please?

Tom

 

[WBS]

I found a general timeframe on the EventBright page.
