Title: KillerDAC GTG - Ozmillsy's
Post by: ozmillsy on May 12, 2011, 07:58:26 PM
Well,  the OzKiller is more or less finalised.   The system is tuned and sounding lovely to my ears.

I think it's time to formally unveil it. 

I'm thinking of having a GTG at my place on Sat 28-May,  arvo/evening time,  I'll be throwing on nibblies and drinks.

If there is anyone interested in visiting,  pop a post in this thread.

Hi Andrew

I am visiting Steven that weekend for a weekend listening session with a friend and we were hoping to come along with Steven. Would that be cool?  Steven tells me that your system is really singing.

Cheers, Andy

Hey fellas,  just doing some planning re catering for the GTG this Sat.

We have ......

Greg Erskine
the man
zenelectro
springcreek(andy) + mate
and 5 from SNA

Could be a couple more. 

I'm planning to throw some snags and things on the barby,  aswell as having other finger foods and nibblies.  There wont be anything formal for dinner,  but there will be plenty of food, and I'm confident no one will go hungry.

Forgot to mention,  it'll be a 4pm kickoff. 

Ginett is taking the boys out around that time.    Before 4,  I'll be rushing around picking up kids toys.

Great Andrew

Really looking forward to it mate.

What can we bring?

Sounds like it will be a great GTG.

Cheers, Andy

I'll have food, softies and light beers.   

If there is anything fancy you want to throw on the barby,  bring it along.   But it's not necessary,  I will have plenty to eat.

If you want something abit stronger than light beers,  then bring it with you.

Catchya Sat.

It was a nice relaxed afternoon/evening.   There was plenty of nice social chat.  

There were a few times when the loungeroom was empty, and everyone was off in the other room, drinking, nibbling and chatting. Not sure what that says about the stereo. haha ;)  

So,  we had;

Stevenvalve
Paul (who made the dac board in my killer)
Dragon (Stevens mate)
Zenelectro (Terry)
Greg Erskine (here/sna)
Chefscuba (from sna/dtv)
LuzArt (from sna)
Tax (from sna)
Tubeman (from dtv, known as vic on sna)
Hedalfa (from sna)
springcreek (from here)

Did I forget anyone?

It was great to meet some new faces, and to catch up with others.   We topped off the night, by migrating over to Dragons place, where we had the priviledge of hearing his Altec horn system fed by SV killer tube amps and killerdac (the dac is known as Godzilla :) ).   A great killer system, which delivers a wide open presentation - Cantate Domino was particularly impressive with the horns, where you just felt like you were there in the cathedral.

I think my system was left behind abit,  when compared to Stevens and Dragons.   But I think it did ok, given it isnt a ground up build.

Andrew,

Thanks for your hospitality and a great arvo/evening.

Last time I heard your system was BK (before killerdac), I'm guessing over a year ago.
Huge improvement and quite impressive now - especially since you don't get the option to
do any tweaking to the SS active speakers.

Good to catch up with a few people I haven't seen for a while.

cheers

Terry

Cheers,  I've made some significant gains with the integration of the subs since you were here last. Good bass is an important foundation.    But all credit to Steven, and his knowledge of what to change in the DAC in order to achieve a natural and balanced presentation.
