INSIDE THIS ISSUE

Coming in October: Maxmedias spectacular high-end products Big announcement: The ASoN 2010 Christmas Party Speaker shootout pictorial report
From your Editor As we discussed at the last Haberfield meeting, the committee is appealing to all members to extend a helping hand in organising upcoming meetings so we can round out the 2011 schedule. We have January and February planned-out but were asking for your assistance in the months after that. We will be talking about this at length at the next meeting and we are hoping to lock-in some definite commitments from the members. If you have any ideas for a meeting please speak to or email any one of the committee members or newsletter editors. Well dear members, its that time of year again! Yes, your fees are due! It would help enormously if you could bring your membership payment ($60 cash or cheque) to the October meeting. This would place us a little ahead of the eight ball financially and would also save our treasurer from the tiresome duty of debt collection. The Festive Season is upon us! Please read Henrys invitation below; he details the extravaganza event of 2010 the ASoN Christmas Party, yay! Youll need to RSVP as soon as possible so we can lock-in the numbers. Hope to see you and your partners there! In the meantime, we can all look forward to Maxmedias spectacular high-end products this Sunday. Edgar Kramer

This Months Meeting

VENUE: Haberfield Community Centre 78-80 Dalhousie Road, Haberfield DATE : Sunday, 31st October 2010 TIME : 2.45 pm to 6.00 pm
Octobers meeting promises to be absolutely killer! You cant miss this!
Showcasing in the Sunday, October 31 meeting weve got none other than Cameron Keating the proprietor of Maxmedia, a Melbourne company specialising in the Australian distribution of some of the worlds best high-end products. Cameron has assembled a superb portfolio of exquisite products from Germanys Avantgarde Acoustic and Octave Audio, the UKs Abbingdon Music Research (AMR) and many others. In a casual email Cameron outlined the goodies hes likely to bring. Edgar, Ill be bringing the following to Haberfield: 1. AMR CD player/processor either the CD-777 or the big boy CD-77 2. Avantgarde Acoustic Model Three amplifier or maybe Octave v80? 3. Avantgarde Acoustic UNO and Avantgarde Acoustic cables. The design of the speakers in particular is quite interesting and weve not had this type of horn loaded speaker in our Haberfield room in recent memory. Being a horn system with an active bass module, its dispersion and adjustable low end may actually suit our difficult Haberfield room. We really look forward to this meeting and, to give you a bit of a teaser preview, Ive assembled a small gallery of some of the products well be auditioning. See you on Sunday! Edgar Kramer

Last Months Meeting

The small speaker shootout A table full of contenders! From left to right, the Yogi (new members home brew), Spendor SA1, MartinLogan Motion 4, Silverline Minuet, and Spendor S3/5R. Off the picture was the Sony ES Series electrostatic tweeter speaker from a few years ago. The Sony was used at the start of the session as a warm-up speaker.
California Audio Labs (CAL) CL-15 CD player and Lightspeed Attenuator. Just off screen was the Harman Kardon HK modified CD player and Elson Silvas Cymer Audio EL34 monoblock amplifiers.
Scott Campbells Krell KSA150 performed the solid state amplification duties as a contrast to Elsons valve monoblocks.
After a thorough voting count, these are the results: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Spendor S3/5R MartinLogan Motion 4 (there was only 0.5 of a point between 1st and 2nd place) Silverline Minuet Spendor SA1 Yogi
