2025 - September - Hal D.

 

Thank you Hal for hosting the meeting at short notice.

​

The attendees at this slightly smaller meeting had a great afternoon. Everybody was relaxed including Hal. there were a few gremlins with his system to begin with but once that was sorted she was singing. 

​

Hal hosted at his Queenslander in Paddington, which in itself is a very interesting building.

​

Underneath his house is a purpose built listening area with an audio desk type setup. Hal designed the room himself and his professional experience meant that he was able to engineer it to his own specifications.

​

It's a room filled with audio gear of all sorts. Plenty of turntable gear, microphones, amplifiers, CD players, and a large selection of music and audio related books. Somewhat of a mancave for audiophiles. Hal also has a passion for wine and stores a respectable collection.
