The entry…It was a nice February evening with rather warm weather for this time of the year and also a special night for ACA members since today we had the monthly meeting at Manos Mpitsakakis home. Manos house is just one kilometer away from the sea on the eastern part of Attica. When I arrived only five other people were there, four ACA members and one friend of Manos. The house had a super nice smell… obviously something very tasty was cooking in the kitchen. Manos told me that he was expecting lots of people in this meeting, both ACA members and friends from other audio societies and audio forums since he is a very active member in many of them. With my first Scotch on hand I went down to the basement were the system was warming up playing a Sinatra tune in low volume. Velissarios of TLA audio, was there talking with Dimitris of Ypsilon Electronics, for the new line of electronics by Ypsilon and marketing actions that had to be done for both audio manufacturers.

System Description
The audition…Manos had selected a listening program in both vinyl records and CD formats. The music was a variety of Greek and foreign songs that also had two pieces from the classical repertoire. We listened for about an hour the selected vinyl records and CD’s, switching from Jazz to Classic and from Pop to rock. On the end of the music program all the listeners stand up clapping with a wide smile of satisfaction. To tell you the truth, since I didn’t have any experience of Manos’s system, I was not prepared for such a good performance, but my experience was very positive after all. Listening Program
The dinner…
Kaiti is well known cook throughout our society since her tasty foods are very well appreciated in every occasion. The ending…We stayed at Manos’s house up until midnight listening to some tunes and drinking red wine. On behalf of ACA and all the rest of the friends, I would like to thank Manos and his wife for the wonderful evening.
