Jventer Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Depending on roadworks Gold Coast is max 4 hours. Ballina is 130km but slow going about 2hours. Coffs is 85km and 45 minutes and the local airport a few km and maybe 15 min.Local airport too hard from Melbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren69 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 @joz 1 hr from Coffs, ten minutes from Grafton, maybe 1hr 20 from Ballina, neither here nor there really wherever you go. Or come down with Tezz, as offered. About 2 hrs 45 from the Cooly airport to Che Daz. Will have to work out a date, anyone got a month with not many scribbles on the calendar?

Darren69 Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Gents, what about the Australia Day long weekend? @joz @Lenehan Audio @Wongy @Jventer @awayward @TerryO @mikey d Saturday from midday onwards, fill you up with bacon and eggs sunday morning and chuck you out. As previous attendees know, limited room here. First in best bedded, so to speak (well, depending on how much Colonial Brewing IPA I have had) Otherwise theres a handy motel opp 't hill as Mikey knows but I think he deserves one Che Daz fart sack after Motelling it last time. I might have some Melody gear to listen to by then... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awayward Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hey Daz, Count me in, just for the eggs, best eggs I’ve ever had. I won’t claim a bed as I’ve always wanted to sleep in a swag, good excuse to buy one and sleep outdoors, hopefully it doesn’t piss down all night. Although there is one condition, no more BS about you can’t drink after a meal, the night is only early at 8pm, host or not you have to party on , we can look after ourselves. Looking forward to hearing what the valve BS is all about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well haven't had any luck with the bulk of the dudes here so will put it off for a while, might even be better when the weather cools down a bit I guess. @awayward you could scratch this one from the calendar for now, you'll get an extra egg made with love for your kind words when it does go down.

TerryO Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) I'm keen to attend Dazzle (especially as I can't wait to drink all of your grog) but making plans at this time of year is a bit hard. Once the the New Year has passed then things for me will start to settle down a little. I wouldn't right Australia Day off just yet. cheers Terry Edited December 15, 2018 by TerryO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't got anything yet, still chatting with George about the Melodies and also talking to Earle again about a time machine pre built to Daz spec feeding the existing JC1's I think the last one was around 12 months ago? Since then I have got the tube dac and pre. Edited December 15, 2018 by Darren69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am also lost to the mire as well brother C, paid for my Weston Time Machine Pre yesterday, built to Daz spec by the very gentlemanly Earle @ehtcom. Arrival, maybe late March-ish. As follows- Polished copper transformer covers. Figured oak (if available) plinth. XLR inputs on input 1 XLR and RCA outputs RCA subwoofer outputs No headphone output No speaker outputs Brushed stainless base. Hubba hubba. Melodies didn't eventuate. So there.

TerryO Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I’m listening to our Time Machine pre and PL power amp combo right now and the sound produced is bloody excellent, very captivating. I reckon you will be a happy man Dazzle with the Weston pre, if not just give up in discust and give all your gear including those sooky JC1’s to me to look after. Again what are mates for if not to lift the burden from their friends. ... cheers Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Muon N' Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Would like to see a view of the getter to see if they are right when saying they look identical to the DR. At that price I hope they are the DR, the description seems to fit. Edited January 3, 2019 by Muon N' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
