May 2015 SAC Meeting
The May 2015 meeting of the Sydney Audio Club sees us once again at Dence Park for an afternoon of fine music, great sound and amicable company.
Each month, the Sydney Audio Club presents the finest in high end audio systems for our members and guests. It's a bit like a private audio show once a month where you can hear and discuss equipment that you might not otherwise have the chance to audition. And you can bring along your own music to test the capabilities of the system or to just share with like-minded music lovers in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
For our May meeting we have the core system of a dedicated and long-time club member. Over the years he has built up an enviable system primarily based on Dynaudio and Plinius equipment. It's a dynamic, immediate and impressive sounding system.
Details of the systems:
Marantz SA-11S1 CD/SACD player Refer to http://www.marantz.asia/ap/pages/home.aspx and http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue28/marantz_sa11.htm
Plinius M8 preamp Refer to http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/plinius3/1.html
Plinius SA-250 Mk4 power amp Refer to http://www.pliniusaudio.com/Plinius_Range/Power_Amplifiers/SA_Reference.html and http://www.stereophile.com/solidpoweramps/506plinius/index.html.
Dynaudio Confidence C4 Mk2 speakers These are large floor standing speakers. Refer tohttp://www.dynaudio.com/home-audio/confidence/, http://www.avhub.com.au/product-reviews/hi-fi/dynaudio-confidence-c4-loudspeakers-392652 and http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/794/index.html
REL Stentor 3 subwoofer Refer to http://www.audioreview.com/cat/speakers/subwoofers/rel-acoustics/stentor-iii/prd_371075_2741crx.aspx.
OCOS speaker cables, Nordost Blue Heaven Interconnects I believe Dynaudio still use OCOS cables internally in its speakers. OCOS cables lend an extremely clear and fast sound.
The second half of the music sessions will be our popular BYO. Members and guests are welcome to offer music to share with us all. So bring along your favourite music on CD/SACD. Sorry, no provision for vinyl or flash drives this month. All we ask is that the music and recordings be interesting. We'll ask you to tell us a little about the artist/recording before it is played. Tracks over 6 minutes will be faded out, to give everyone a fair go.
Whether you are a novice or a seasoned veteran, you will have the opportunity to listen, learn and share your experiences with others of a similar mind.
Guests are always welcome – we are a very friendly club so you don't need to know anyone to join us for an afternoon of fine music and sound. We will welcome you at the door.
Venue: Epping Creative Centre
Address: 26 Stanley St, Epping
When: Sunday 17th May 2015
Doors open 1pm
Meeting starts at 2pm
