10th Annual Vancouver Island diyFEST 2013

[Cal Weldon]

Don't let the smile fool you. This guy is deadly serious. ChrisB for those who don't already know.

Grizzly Adams showed up. If I wasn't starting to get a little wobbly at this point I might remember his name. Someone help me here.

 

[Cal Weldon]

This guy's some sort of celebrity. Check out all the mic's.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Our old pal Lou.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Dave. Remember Dave? This whole weekend is because of Dave.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Speakers. Remember speakers? This whole weekend is because of speakers.
and amps.
and Dac's - whatever they are.

 

[Pano]

Good Grief! That's even more speakers than when I attended. No wonder we don't hear much from Dave - he's a busy fellow.

Ta for the photo's guyz!!!! It looks as if a great time was had by all - az well az some good closed eyed listening (better know az naps to the rest of us)....

I like the looks of this little number tho and would love to been able to listen to it indoors.....

 

[c2cthomas]

I have been receiving information of strange sightings in the area.....

1) Still sum guyz trying to get up the hill....
2) They have found one of the Mounties that wuz lost on the hill a couple of meetings back....

 

[Cal Weldon]

Hey Thomas,
I believe that's the CSS SDX7 woofer, the CSS LD25X dome tweeter and waveguide. You can find out more if you visit Bob at the Creative Sound Solutions site.

Another treat about this get together is the raffle. This year I was lucky enough to win a pair of Airborne FR179B8-18F wood cone, full range drivers that Bob arranged for Solen to donate. I hope they sound half as good as they look. They're some real eye candy.

Where's the smiley for "green with envy" !?
You don't mean Terry didn't win anything ??

 

[KaffiMann]

At least it can use a decent size enclosure.

Looking at the VAS on this one it seems a bit demanding for it's size :-D :

Ol' sleepyhead here says he was merely closing his eyes to remove outside interference when making those tough judging decisions.

That's Coke Zero for ya.... SNXXXXXXX!

You're definitely bringing those drivers to next year's "FEST", in boxes. Looking at the sim, they have pretty impressive bass extension for the size.

And don't forget the loud mouth that was always stealing a seat.

What a collection of photos Cal. I never got to hear your spiral horns

Did the sdx7 / LD25x waveguide speaker ever get listened to? Wondering how the latest XO did.

No. I will drag them in this week.

Thanks to all for making it a great weekend. I had a wonderful time, learned a few things, shared some, and hope I can visit again next year. Thank you to Dave, Ruth and Chris for sponsoring. Ruth's pie was tasty.

Best to all,
John
