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.
