The Burning Amp DIY show will be on Sunday, October 6th at Fort Mason, building C. From what I have heard this is a fantastic show. I will be demonstrating a SEX 2.1 which Dan and Eileen are very kindly loaning to me, Quickie, power cord, Fostex bass reflex speakers and assembly manuals. Also will be making chocolate chip cookies for the lunch.

Hope to see and meet some Bottlehead's at the show!

Here is a link for the show:

You might get Doc B and the Queen to pop down and visit to snack on some of those cookies!

Eileen and I have to get a kid moved to college on one side of that weekend and we are celebrating our 23rd anniversary with a week's vacation on the other side of that weekend, so we will not be able to attend.

Looks like a lot of fun. I'd like to attend one of those one day. Just wish it was a little closer. Airfare is freaking expensive these days. Anyway I've volunteered my time for that week at The Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta that week.

I will probably attend. Might bring the BeePre.

I went 2 years ago and had a good time. BA is a very relaxed event.

 Burning Amp 2013 was a good show and Bottlehead had a good showing. I found Cary setup in a room with his Marantz CD player, Fostex speakers, Quickie preamp, and SEX 2.1 integrated.

Our new friend Mario also setup in this room with 3 pair of wonderful Mark Audio speakers he had assembled. Two were mini-monitors based on the Mark Audio Alpair 6m and Alpair 6p. The other was a Pencil design MLTL with a Mark Audio 12p. All sounded great with the Bottlehead gear.

I brought my BeePre and added that to the mix. Sometimes the other rooms sound intruded when they cranked the volume way up, but the 2 watt SEX 2.1 driving single drivers was sweet!

Cary handed out lots of Bottlehead cards and we probably got some good press.

I forgot the camera, so no pics to add :-\

Nice meeting you Cary!

-Kevin

Kevin,

Here are a couple shots I took of your Beepre and the SEX 2.1 at the show.

I was quite impress to say the least.

Hope you don't mind me posting them here.

I found this Burning amp event quite  informative.

The Quickie was mine, the enclosure is a Hammond factory black power coated steel chassis box. They go for around $15.

Hi Cary,

Just wanted to thank you for your Bottlehead demos with Mark's diy speakers at the BA fest.

I'm very glad to have had the opportunity to listen to Kevin's Beepre and the S.E.X. 2.1
with high efficiency diy speakers (Mark's) in your listening room.

It was nice meeting and chatting with you.

I'm now itching to get a Beepre...thanks to you.. ;D
Happy listening!

Joel

Hey guys, for any of you who were in Mario's room, did you get to hear the quickie feeding the amp camp amps? And was this quickie stock or did it have a PJCCS in it?

Just got my ACAs a couple of days ago and plan to use them with the quickie 1.1 I have.

Thanks,

Jim
