I was going to throw this in with the DAC GTG thread but then I realized I had a slightly longer story to tell so, what the hey, here it is in it's own thread. Back at the GTG at the Vikings Leagues Club on the Gold Coast, that Damo, Adamg and myself threw together in late 2012 with more enthusiasm than anything else, I handed out caps to the 6 of us (I think it was 6) that assisted in the organizing. I had them printed because, like I just said, I had more enthusiasm than anything else and it seemed like a cool idea to have a little keepsake of an event that worked out because everyone was just so stoked to be a part of it. Cap number one. For the amp GTG at Mikes the following February (when I picked up my S2Rs ) I went a bit overboard and had a few caps, coffee mugs and T-Shirts printed (I think it was 6 caps and 3 each of mugs and shirts). Again enthusiasm reigned supreme and it was only afterwards that I realized that some people might not see it in the same light as I did. Fortuneately, everyone present, Mike included, thought they were a good laugh. I really wanted to get a pic of Bill wearing the T-shirt and cap with the mug in hand, just so I could pin it up on SNA, but it didn't happen (I'll just have to try harder next time I guess). I saw the mug, still present in the kitchen at Mikes factory, about 10 months later, I think that confirms that it is a decent quality product. I also sent a left over T-shirt and cap to AJ, as a thank you for lending me his Hypex Ncore amps for a couple of months longer than he or I initially intended. The Cap. The Mug. The Shirt (in its natural, unironed, state). I didn't have anything printed for the late 2013 amp GTG, finances were tight after all and it just sort of slipped my mind, a bit of a shame that, it broke continuity, but these things happen. However, back on track, the DAC GTG is coming up and I wanted to get a cap printed that could be awarded (with appropriate fanfare, naturally) to the winner of a blind test. So how fancy could I get? If anyone actually succeeds in a blind test then they should get something appropriate, something that tells everyone who sees them wearing it that that perosn has superior hearing power to all around. So I was looking for a cap (or hat) which accentuated the wearers ears (it seemed reasonable at the time!). After a quick ebay search I then did a slower ebay search and narrowed down the 30,000 odd choices to 8 that I felt were more inspiring than average. Teddy bears, universally adored. Mans best friend, everyone loves dogs. Dragons, very popular in film at the moment. Elephants are cool, less so than dragons but still worth a vote. Modern day Danielle Boon. A little risque perhaps, but on topic. Wow! Identical twin leapards, now that is inspirational! And last but not least, everyone loves Pandas. So, with so much inspirational material on hand, I went to work. And I'll continue to, I think, print out a cap or two for each GTG (hopefully I'll be able to attend most of them) just for the hell of it. This is why I was urging Marc to get a SNA cap design sorted out, can you imagine the sight of 30 or 40 of us wearing SNA caps wondering about the next Melbourne Audio Show? Even just supplying an SNA stencil for the front of the cap, then you could put your SNA user name and avatar on the back, so many posibilities. Caps are the way of the future guys, they may even set us free! (from cancer of the forehead at any rate) What's that? You want to see the DAC Champion cap? Sorry, that information is restricted to creators, vendor owners and competition administrators only. You'll just have to go to the GTG and try to catch a glimpse of it with everyone else. Cheers Guys! Cafad.

Our November club meeting is the last Sydney Audio Club for this calendar year. (We’ll be back January 20th 2019.) For our November club meeting we are very pleased to have Mike Lenehan of Lenehan Audio return after quite a few years. Mike last presented to the club back in March 2012…!! He’s been keen to come back but he was just too busy to return earlier! Busy is good – his business is thriving. Anyone that knows Mike will know he is meticulous in his designs and build – he won’t release a product until the design is perfect and the product is of very high quality. And yet somehow he still finds the time to be very active and helpful in forums. He is a great Aussie talent and we’re happy to have him back. Detail of the system… Lenehan ML2 Reference speakers with dedicated stands. Refer to http://www.lenehanaudio.com.au/ml2-ref.html. “The ML2 is the next generation of high-end two way monitors from Lenehan Audio. Designed for absolute no compromise music systems.” Uses Dueland caps and resistors in cross-over (also sold separately through his website). 35 - 25Khz +/- 1.5db response in room. Heschl Audio Labs integrated amp. Don’t bother Googling this one… it’s so new that there’s nothing to be found! The good news is that it’s Aussie, well designed and built … and 300wpc. Designed and built by Ron Harris. FoilFlex interconnects and loudspeaker cables. These are new cables designed by Lenehan Audio. Isolation platforms for the electronics. Also designed by Lenehan Audio. 3Hz Isolation platforms for the speakers. Also designed by Lenehan Audio. Curious USB cable. Famous giant-killer USB cable sold by Lenehan Audio. Made by Rob Woodland in Queensland. Mike’s source for his presentation will be his laptop with the Audirvana Plus music player. Our source for our BYO session will be an Oppo BDP-105D multi-format player. The second half of the music sessions will be our popular BYO. Members and guests are welcome to offer music to share with us all. So bring along your favourite music on CD or USB thumb/flash drives (sorry, no vinyl this month). All we ask is that the music and recordings be interesting. We'll ask you to tell us a little about the artist/recording before it is played. Tracks over 6 minutes will be faded out, to give everyone a fair go. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned veteran, you will have the opportunity to listen, learn and share your experiences with others. Feel free to come and hear the capabilities of the system, or to just share the experience with like-minded music lovers in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Guests are welcome – we are a very friendly club so you don't need to know anyone to join us for an afternoon of fine music and sound. Venue: Epping Creative Centre, Dence Park Address: 26 Stanley Road, Epping When: Sunday 18th November 2018 Doors open 1pm Meeting starts at 2pm Best regards, Tom Waters President Sydney Audio Club W: www.sydneyaudioclub.org FB: https://www.facebook.com/sydneyaudioclub E: tomwaters@sydneyaudioclub.org.au

Australian floor standers made by the legendary Mike Lenehan in QLD. Time to sell I have had enough of them sitting around. . They are seriously good for this price at about 50 percent off and 2 years old and no use by me in 12 months - in storage rrp I believe was $8999.00 Genuine Boxes for freight so easy to send over east weight is 37 kilos each. https://www.lenehanaudio.com.au/speakers.html https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=95236.msg951583#msg951583 *Slight colour variation on 1 woofer , Spoke To Mike Lenehan and said nothing to worry about but if you wanted a new one would be $175 from Mike, Works perfectly not even noticeable in most lighting conditions. I am guessing initial owner had in sunlight maybe. Grills never used in wrappers still and might need magnets but in new packaging and mint condition. Again Mike will fix up if required. UPDATE :I will buy the new woofer and include for the new owner at asking price.
