Fall 2010 San Diego Polkie Gathering

**dpowell** · 07-29-2010 06:33 PM

I wanted to get a new thread going for our next San Diego Polkie Gathering so that we can all start getting a date on the calendar well ahead of time.

I'd like to shoot for sometime between mid-October and the week before Thanksgiving which should give me some time to get settled in the new place. More than likely, it will be late October or early November before I'm ready to go.

Start throwing some possible dates at me. I imagine that Saturdays work best for everyone.....they do for me.

**mole'** · 07-29-2010 06:45 PM

IM THERE!

as of now, date does not matter to me

**Steelo** · 07-31-2010 12:26 PM

If you guys don't mind a newbie tagging along, I'm interested in a meet as well.

**Erik Tracy** · 07-31-2010 05:24 PM

October 23rd is my vote.

If you can re-arrange your 2-channel setup, then I can bring some Shotgun S2 speaker cables and the stuff I brought last time.

Thanks to Norm, I picked up a set of Shotgun S3 ICs....burning in right now. :p

If I'm really industrious, I suppose I could dismantle my setup and bring my Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated Amp.

And of course, any new CD/SACDs I've picked up until then.

**Norm Apter** · 07-31-2010 09:00 PM

I'm interested and flexible. I can't think of one weekend that is better or worse than another, so I'll just stay tuned to this thread.

**mole'** · 07-31-2010 09:13 PM

i wounder if any audio/video place would like to bring some stuff to show off. i know the Polk Refurb shop is in Vista, MonoPrice is in Rancho Cucamonga.

just an idea

I am going to try and accomplish a better setup for the 1C's in relationship to the rack although I'm a bit limited. The 1C's demand a long wall. They are supposed to be at least 3 ' from side walls and 6' apart for best SDA results. I would like to hear some different amps and will try to make that happen somehow. At least the two places I'm thinking of have power on the wall vs. my current setup which happens to be against a garage door.

Lucky! I've got to save my cash for the move but I did pick up a "necessary piece of equipment" - a quad of TC265i in walls http://www.polkaudio.com/customaudio...x.php?s=tc265i for a great price to use for the side and rear surround channels (in lieu of the FX1000's)

Is that a SS or tube amp? It's always great to hear what another amp will do for speakers so bring it if you can/want!

I'll put October 23 down as a potential date. Any dates in November work for you?

Great! Glad to see we've got a lot of interest. It will definitely be November before I'm ready to host a meet.

Here are possible dates all on Saturday:
November 6, 13, or 20

Please PM me your availability for each of the dates (not just the one you want) unless you are only available for 1 of the dates. I will pick the date that most people can attend.

**mole'** · 08-22-2010 04:54 AM

if you cant, i could do it at my place. i could have the garage all setup for some fun. would also give me a reason to buy some NICER gear.

**Steelo** · 09-20-2010 03:51 AM

Has a date been finalized yet?

**kawizx9r** · 09-20-2010 04:03 AM

Don't see why I shouldn't be able to go this time ;)

**dpowell** · 09-20-2010 10:55 AM

OK, it is time to set a date! I need everyone who is interested to throw their preferred date at me. Choices:

November 6
November 13
November 20

Freddy, glad to see you can make it this time. :D

**dpowell** · 09-20-2010 11:11 AM

I have PM'd all 12 people who have expressed interest on this thread or in previous related threads. If you didn't receive a PM (and think you should have) or are just finding this thread and want to be added to the list, please let me know quickly.

Feb is def out, so is May, Nov, July some times too.

April 2011 is good though ;) :D

**dpowell** · 09-27-2010 05:54 PM

I kind of wondered about that. :D So it looks like I will have to host another meet in April....like I needed an excuse. You'd be up for coming all the way from Wa?

**LeftCoast** · 10-01-2010 08:51 PM

Yes, Nov 13 works. I have gotten back the previous weekend from my road trip to Texas to go get SRT's :)

**dpowell** · 10-01-2010 09:27 PM

You will have two great weekends in a row then!:D Can't imagine having bought some SRT's and having to wait 2 months to get them....
