Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?


Any Cincinnati, OH -based audiophiles on this forum? I have found only one truly high end dealer here, and they are leaning more and more towards high end home theater so they tend to be quite busye, and no longer set up truly "reference" systems one can listen to for calibration. Would love to get into touch with other fellow maniacs in the area Hard to know what else you "need" unless you can hear it and covet it in someone else's set up!

Would there be anyone interested having the next audio meet here at my store? That is if anyone is interested in driving from cinci to dayton oh? I have a few things that I've recently brought in from Sim Audio and Shunyata (Still on there way) that would be good to see what everyone is thinking on the new product! -Andres
Wow! Lol. Well its not a problem at all to play records!!! What albums would you bring?
I'm glad everyone is up for the meeting here! What would be some products that I could have pre-set up for everyone? Lets say we reserve 2 rooms with a couple of different set ups. I have the new Sonus Faber Liutos (They havn't been reviewed yet so I figured we could do a PRE-Review before we start to see them in any magazines) I also have the Thiel CS3.7's (Which I'm interested in selling my demo models if anyone is interested) and I have the Monitor Audio PL100's as far as amazing bookshelf speakers goes. Could I get some suggestions on what we should have set up? I'm up for whatever! Oh and yes, I have the new Perspex Turntable from Pro-ject. It's quite stunning to look at and with the Blackbird it does wonders! This way all of the "digital vs analog" listeners could all get there fill. (well put by the way - Marc ;) ) Oh! And what should we have for reference music? I think we should have a variety for all of our different music tastes! I just recently received the new Radiohead "The best of" on 180 Gram. One thing I know for sure that we will be using is Tara Labs interconnects. I'm really excited about this and I'm thinking we could do this near the middle to end of this Month of July! Hope to see some feedback soon!

How would a Thursday July 23rd Work? I'd say between 5pm-7pm? People could start showing up around 4 though to get a bit more time in the room. I think for this for this first time we could just keep it light. We will have some refreshments and snacks for everyone! Oh, and I forgot to mention for those "digital users" with a blackberry storm or iPhone (or iPhone touch) Bring in your stuff with uncompressed music on it. I'm getting in a new toy from Chord Electronics Ltd. that will be a lot of fun to try out and critique! Fun times ahead!
Alright! I am very excited about this.

Thank you everyone for coming up to Dayton Ohio to spend an evening with us! I really appreciated the turn out and the positive feedback we received in and out of the store.

Our best advertisement is you the consumer so please let your friends know about us!

Also for further reference we would like to hold other audio events in the future. We could do them on the weekend, per recommendation. Most of our vendors (Thiel, Focal, Dynaudio, Sonus Faber and Monitor Audio) would like to come to our store and do a "clinic" sometime. Let me know if there is any interest!

Again thank you for your time and lending us your ears!

Hey friends. I'm having a good old school 2 channel meeting at my store again. This time I'm bringing Mick Tillman from Dyanduio, Lars from Nordost is flying over from overseas, Costa from Simaudio and Allan for Pro-Ject for a workshop! There will be new products from these guys and some free goodies! Also we have just finished a new addition so our store will look a bit different (better than before!) So 3 rooms total for 2 channel. One room at 22'W x 32"D x 14"H. Save your calenders for November 16th. I'll update about the times and when the food will be served. Again mark on your calenders for Nov. 16th 2010 to come up to Dayton! Email me on here for any input. Thanks!
Next Tuesday is Nov. 16th and we will be having our workshop at our store in celebration of our new hi-fi room addition! We will have food, drinks and of course great music and great people. At least I think so! The workshops will be starting at 4:30pm - 9pm. Please come and bring a friend no special dress attire is required just come as you are.

Also there is no purchase necessary to come, but there are a few raffles and give a ways that we will be having! Oh yes and there is a new record store that is opening in downtown Dayton. Might be worth checking out on the way home or before hand!

Hey everyone! Its been so hot recently that I thought it would be "cool" to have a gathering here at my store with a couple of new products that we've gotten in. This event will be VERY DIFFERENT than the Nordost/Dynaudio/Simaudio/Pro-Ject Event where we will have more time to listen to our own music....

Date will be August 25th starting off at 4pm.

We'll be displaying... in 2 Different Rooms the following..

Magico V2's Floor standing Reference Loudspeaker

Magico Q3 (Less than 3 Dealers in the US have this on display as of Yet due to the high demand)

Boulder 1010 Preamp
Boulder 1060 Stereo Amplifier
Boulder 1008 Phono Amp
Boulder 865

24Bit/192kHz Music Flac Files via...
Bryston BDP-1
Musical Fidelity M1CliC
Cambridge Audio NP30 (96kHz Max)
PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC
Boulder 1021 CD/DAC

I want this to be a meeting where we get to play more of the music that you bring rather than a big huge presentation so it will be relaxed environment. Bring your Records, CD's and 24bit music on jump drives. If you could RSVP to the Sales@hansonav.com I would really appreciate it so I can get an idea on how much spirits and food to have ready!

Of course as always it's free to join and please feel free to bring a friend and let us know when you RSVP.

Also there will be a drawing for a free pair of Grado Headphones!
