2017 June - Hugh D-T.

​

A surprising number of members attended Hugh’s Sunshine Coast “darkside” (all analog) man cave given the distance from Brisbane.

We were greeted with a beautiful sunny afternoon and by what we later found out were the neighbour’s dogs.

One reminded us of Frank from “Men in Black”.

​

The room is dominated by the 2100 high (low WAF acceptance) electrostatic panel speakers (Graz) driven by 6 channels of valve amplification (2 active crossovers).

One’s gaze is then drawn to the battleship like construction of the turntable that Hugh constructed himself in-house, in his own machine shop.

The listening sessions were evenly divided between the classical and rock aficionados.

Floyd W did his best to “educate” me on classical music.

As for myself, I have never heard tom waits gravelly voice sound so good.

Nigel S and Wayne C kept us “entertained” during the afternoon with a constant barrage of “dad” jokes.

Nick E kindly volunteered (again) to burn the steak and sausages.

We repaired to the main houses back deck for a lovely repast.

On behalf of the QAC members I’d like to thank Hugh and his wife for an very enjoyable afternoon.
