We are very pleased to welcome David Smilay, CEO of Ten Octave Audio and Jim Clark, owner of Jim Clark Stereo in Rockford, IL.

Ten Octave is a new company introducing the LP1 (also LP1R with remote) line stage built in the USA with higher quality construction and parts than normally seen in a $1000 preamp ($1200 with remote).  It has 19dB gain, 6N2-EV tubes, and an adjustable and regulated tube DC filament voltage. On the website, 
Bob Carver himself has given a positive thumbs up. More information can be seen at:
https://tenoctaveaudio.com/wp/product/lp-1/  

Jim Clark Stereo in Rockford calls itself "A Bob Carver/ELAC Dealer Showcase" and focuses on brands 
that they fell offer the best combination of  "audio performance, physics, science and value." Jim Clark is
also a Ten Audio dealer. More details at: https://jimclarkstereo.com/jim-clark-stereo-a-bob-carver-elac-dealer-showcase/ 
 
It should be noted that the Crimson 275 which is a 75 watt per channel stereo amp that is easily set up as a 150 watt mono block amp with the tubes in a more optimal parallel configuration, not bridged. The Adante AF-61 and Adante Sub-3070 are the top of ELAC's Adante line, with the Adante AF-61 recently listed as Stereophile Class A.

The system will consist of:

Ten Octave Audio LP1R Line Stage Preamp
Bob Carver Crimson 275 Mono-blocks
ELAC Adante AF-61
ELAC Adante SUB-3070 Subwoofer
ELAC Discovery Music Server

We also plan to have a CD player or transport/DAC to listen to your favorite music on disc.

Mark the date for what should be a great meeting. Our thanks to David Smilay and Jim Clark for making this 
possible. Look forward to seeing all of you there.
