Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?

I'm 15 minutes North of Cincinnati. I've been building SE & PP triode based amps for a few years. I would love to participate in some listening sessions to hear other gear and let mine be heard. Any Interest??

Hey TIC,

It's good to hear that there are some other audio maniacs in the Cincy area. I'm currently using an pair of DIY Voight Pipes with FE 207s in a 2-way with Fostex super tweeters. I created a baffle correction that really warmed the FE207s up. I also installed a pair of phase plugs from planet 10.

I have been building my stuff almost in a vacuum. I've been influenced by guys like Steve Deckert at Decware, Eddie Vaughn, Harvey Rosenburg (RIP). My amps to date have been triode strapped pentodes. I have spent a fair amount of time working getting the most out of an EL84. I'm presently using Interstage coupled topologies. I have managed to get a good sound out 2 to 4 watts.

My present project is a pair VT52 (military version of the 45) SE IT coupled mono blocks. This is my first DHT project so I'm hoping to good results.

I have checked out the hemp based drivers. They look really interesting, their Qs,Qt values look very promising.

My e-mail is chris.stewart@jacobs.com

Shoot me a note when before the next gathering. I would like to take part.

PS

I need a new CD source, any suggestions??

Guys,

I'm in for a get together. I build SE & PP Tube gear and I would love to get feed back from others so I can improve my designs. I would also like to hear other systems and other music.

Hey Jonsmith,

I live in the Morrow area...just down the road from you. My stuff is all DIY tube gear. If you want a listen some time contact me via e-mail.

Tom,

Steve Dekert inspired me to start building almost 10 years ago. I've heard the early version of the Tori. I like his approach to bringing good audio to those who might not be able to afford a $6,000 amplifier.Let me know if you have lisitening session, I would like to hear your latest addition. I have greating improved my prototypes since my last get together. I will probably see if there is some interest this summer.

Chris

Tim,

I'm in the Morrow area. Would love to get together for listening. I've been basically inactive in the forum for a couple of years...been up to my eye balls in work (making money type) I'm a builder of valve amps. I'm aways looking for a good listen and enjoy getting feedback on my own gear.

Chris
