- June Gold Coast HiFi Clubhouse GTG Date & Component List
  
  GC HiFi posted a topic in GC Hi-Fi, April 21
  
  Saturday June 17th - 3pm to 8pm
  
  Yes I'm announcing the June date for the Clubhouse GTG before the May date but for very good reason.
  
  I wanted to give everyone as much notice as possible so those who are interested can plan to come along and not miss out. We will have a number of firsts and a very exciting and interesting list of high end HiFi components that will be on display for the first time in Queensland and when it comes to the speakers it will be for the first time other than at Sonic Purity in Mebourne. I have not included any pictures of the various components at this stage because this GTG has just been sorted, but will do in follow up posts. The details of the GTG are below the component list.
  
  Amplification:
  AudioNet Heisenberg Mono Blocks
  Audionet WATT
  Audionet SAM G2
  
  Speakers:
  Apertura Adamante
  Apertura Edena Evolution
  
  DAC & Streaming Modules.
  Playback Designs MPD-8 w/ USB X
  Playback Designs MPD-6 w/Streaming Module
  
  Cables:
  Argento interconnects and speaker cables
  
  Date:
  Saturday June 17th
  From 3pm to 8pm.
  Arundel, Gold Coast
  
  Drinks and nibles will be available on the day. These GTGers while often show casing very interesting and occassionally, as is happening with this GTG, seldom seen hifi componets here in Queensland are squarely aimed at being fun enjoyable social occassions for those of us who enjoy high end HiFi.
  We have three rooms to showcase these impressive components and will spend time in each room through out the day. Given the Gold Coast Clubhouse GTGers are run at our family home there will be limited spots available, so please PM me asap regarding coming along. As I get it sorted I will start to send out more event information along with our address in the next couple of weeks. I decided to announce this GTG as soon as it was confirmed what gear we would have here.
  
  I look forward to hearing back from those who are interested in hearing some of the most stunning HiFi gear I have been lucky to hear so far. While few will have ever heard of, let alone heard in action, the Apertura brand of speakers I have been lucky to hear both models and I reckon they are a stunning speaker and quite different in an excllent way in their sound delivery compared to most other speakers I have previously heard, especially for their cost. But more on these speakers later including photo's.
  
  Anyway enough rambling, please either call me or pm me once you have checked whether you can come along.
  
  cheers,
  Terry

- NB Speaker Cables introduces Mercury, our first speaker kit!
  
  NB Speaker Cables posted a topic in NB Speaker Cables, May 10
  
  Finally, after 2 years in the making, we have finally released our first speaker kit!
  
  'Mercury' is a fun little 2 way bookshelf speaker combining quality, but affordable components with a simple crossover network and the option of cabinets pre-cut on our CNC.
  
  Our target audience for our first speaker kit is beginners. Everything from the comprehensive 55 page build guide, to marked out crossover boards and threaded insert mounting options making building your first speaker a breeze. We also take the opportunity to educate with our guides by touching on not just what you're doing when building your speaker, but why you're doing it.
  
  To find out more about our kits options, head to the links below:

- Blackwood Dacelos Fresh Off the Workbench
  
  Kingfisher Audio posted a topic in Kingfisher Audio, May 8
  
  Finished up this pair of Blackwood Dacelos a few days ago. Might be our favourite pair so far! These veneers came from a part of the tree that had forked and cracked. We love the look of the natural crack and splits and use them where we can but curious who feels the same or if you prefer a more clean and simple aesthetic. Let us know what you think!
  
  Really loved working with these veneers but we're about to run out. The last blackwood pair is in the works as well as silky oak and bloodwood. Currently white cedar, redgum and melaleuca veneers are curing. Should make for some stunning speakers while they last.

- May 2023 Meeting - 3SB Audio
  
  masterpaul posted a topic in Sydney Audio Club, April 24
  
  The Sydney Hifi Club meeting on 21st May 2023, will showcase the “Three Sad Bastards” (Aris, John, and Trevor), who will demonstrate a full 3SB Loudspeaker system.
  The 3SB Audio Keystone and Bedrock speakers is a modular, active loudspeaker system that consists of speakers, amplifiers, Digital to Analog converts and DSP.
  The platform has been designed and developed around a core principle of 1:1 for Driver : Power Amplifier : DAC, thereby enabling complete separation between the signal and resources involved in the audio path.
  
  Details of the system:
  
  Keystone Loudspeaker: Compact Full-range Speaker
  A compact 5-way/7-driver loudspeaker with advanced bass shaping to minimise room interaction of low frequencies.
  
  Bedrock Sub Woofer Array: Advanced Bass Performance
  A bass enhancer and expander with 8 subwoofers designed to enhance the presentation and presence of lower frequencies.
  
  Ochto Amplifier:
  8 channels x 250W power amplifier that drive each Keystone and Bedrock loudspeaker.
  
  Cardia DSP:
  A 32 channel DSP using Audio over IP for connection between DSP and DAC.
  Current generation is based on 32channel RME professional DAC and macOS for DSP processing.
  Next generation (in R&D presently) is based on 4 x 8ch DAC with Linux open source platform for DSP processing.
