Dear members and friends of Sydney Audio Club Inc.,
The next Sydney Audio Club meeting will be held on the 9th February at Dence Park following the Annual General Meeting which will start at 2 pm. This will not take too long and we have nominations for all Committee positions so you need not worry about being co-opted.
Following many suggestions from members we are organising a power meeting to evaluate power cables, power conditioners and power regenerators with equipment supplied by Len Wallis Audio and from club members.
The doors will open from 1pm to meet and chat with members and the music will start at 2pm. There will be no TechTalk this month.

Power Supplies:
PS Audio DirectStream Power Plant 12 power regenerator
Thor PS10 Power Station and Conditioner
