I don't know what I want. I a poor college grad that is hoping to go to Grad school in the fall.
I want my stuff to sound good, but fill both audio and video requirements.
I never had anything other than Onkyo receivers and the like. I need help.
Need quality used pieces that cost little $$$.
I feel that I have made a good start considering what I once had, but am eager to "feel the music". and relax. |
I would like to join, if you will have me. |
Anyone want to get together in Brunswick mid april to help me get the rig up and running in the new house?
If there are any takers I will put this together. |
Does anyone have some suggestions of some good used audio dealers in the state of Ohio?
The only one I know of is Play it Again Sam in Cleveland. |
|
Well, I am going to have some down time after the first of the year and would like to get this idea moving. Are there any suggestions for this club?
I would like to meet some others to demo gear to learn in first person. I have tried to read as much as possible, now It is time to listen. I would also like to get opinions of others on my modest system. I plan on meeting with Chad next month, maybe we can set up a meet and greet.
We have talked about this long enough, lets get this moving. |
I will be in Avon on the first for a Wedding. Have been there often.
I think we need to pick a date in January with a location and see who can make it. Any weekend in January save the 1st is good for me.
I know there is a guy in Euclid that was interested and another in Hinkley. |
I grew up in North olmsted |
Alfro,
There are two other guys from your area that have expressed intrest. I am planning a trip in the next few weeks. Then we were thinking of meeting in Cleveland later. The other thing that has been discussed would be a trip to the Audio store on High St in Columbus some time soon. |
I would like to gather some information to help us get to know each other. Some basic information like name, age, occupation, and years interested in high end audio.
Next planned purchase/audition?
Next part of your rig that you want to drop soonest?
Where do you shop for equipment?
How often do you check Agon?
How often would you like our club to meet?
What types of activities would you like to see become part of this club.
Would you be willing to host a gathering?
How far are you willing to travel, what is the best day of the week for you to meet?
Are you still interested in an Ohio audio club?
Anything else please add, just hoping to get this moving forward.
Andy |
Would anyone be willing to help me get my room set up?
I have just made some big moves in my set up and want to get things dialed in.
Or just come over and listen to music would be fine. |
Hey Guys,
Sorry for the delayed response. My father has been in and out of the Hospital 4 times since Thanksgiving. This has taken much of my time to this point.
It sounds like there are about four or five of us that range from Toledo to Youngstown east to west and from Cleveland to Columbus north to south. I think it would be good to find a Central location for the first meet. Once we settle on a location then we can focus on the date.
Saturdays and Sundays seem to be the universal choices for this meeting.
Who has a central meeting place that would be willing to host out small group? |
Tom I can't come that weekend, my brother will be coaching his first home college basketball game and I will be there that weekend.
I do plan on being a part of this club.
Andy
Ps. You don't work for GLIDE do you? |
I am sad that I will not be there this weekend guys. Pleawe keep us posted on any developemts that take place. I look forward to meeting everyone in the next month or so. |
I nominate Tgun for president. He has my proxy. |
At this very moment, the very first Cleveland/N.C.O. audio club is meeting together. My guess is that all are having a very nice time and the groundwork is being laid for a new group of audionuts.
Have fun all, wish I could be there. |
Man, that is very sad. All the trouble of getting ready to host something like this and then to not show. Sorry that is poor form. Did they at least call to say they could not make it? There wasn't even a game today. Who all said that they were coming and did not show?
Well at least we know this up front.
There are a few guys from the youngstown area I know are serious. A couple from southern and Central Ohio.
I have been wanting to see Chads rig for the better part of six months and will be headed towards youngstown soon.
Tgun, I hope you are not gunshy about giving this another try. Not at your place I guess.
Anyone willing to host the next "party"?
Let me apologize for the whole group.
Andy |
I have one last effort to get this going. Is there anyone that would be interested in going to the Detroit AK Fest, April 22-23?
Or is this club dead?

Chad and Tom,
Thanks for letting me be apart of the fun that I am sure we will be having Saturday. It will be a learning chance for me. See ya in the morning.
andy |
Chad,
Thanks for the invite and your crazy jokes, you really got me good.
Tom,
Thanks for the ride and conversation. Learned a bunch in the hour or three we spent together in the car. Can't wait to listen to that rig of yours.
Craig,
Thanks for being a gracious host and for letting me in on my first real audio experience.
Mike,
Thanks for the great story, I think it may be the funniest I have heard relating to this hobby. Looking forward to seeing and hearing some of those creations in the lab.
Everyone,
Thanks for all the help and the good time. I was glad to get the chance to meet you all, hope that we can do this again soon. And in april, may, or June we can do it at my new place in Brunswick.
Food, fun, and tunes. What else could a guy want on a Saturday.
Two channel is alive. |
Well I am almost settled in at the new place, but things are a long way from being ready to go. Many issues with this house have kept me busy when I am not working. I hope to get my rig back up and running with the new components this week and break them in whil I am out of the country for a while. I will be ready to host this get together sometime in May, April is a no go do the the previous occupant not being out of the house till 2 weeks after I was to be in.
The room is much smaller than i was thinking and the basement is not finished as advertised, so we shall see what kind of results we get.
Are there any days that work best and who can make the drive in May?
Thanks and sorry for delays, I have have been going nuts with this moving thing.
andy |
Home again. Nothing like a trip to the Third world to make you feel blessed. And maybe a bit ashamed.
I am home and would like to offer an invite to anyone with a bit of free time to come and check out my new nearfield listening room. I should have pics posted soon enough, when I find the box that stuff was in.
I can do it any Saturday evening in the comin three weeks, or all day this Saturday, but short notice.
Anyone looking for a killer power amp, I have a Nearly new Odyssey Khartago that has 19 plus years left on the Warantee that has been HotRodded at the Odyssey lab in Indianapolis.
You have to hear this. I would like to get others opinions, but be gentle, I am fragile. |
Hello hello,
Is anyone down for Saturday June 3rd for a get together?
This will be a small group of folks to come and listen toy with the speaker placement. May also try a budget dac shootout.
Andy |
Nobody showed. In fact, I only had two people repsond with any interest and they never got back with me. Talked to Karl and he said we could shoot for a June 23rd get together, but it would have to be in the evening.
The only dac that I have is the nixon, the audio sector, the Lite ah, and the DIY kit were all delayed.
Right now I am looking into some room treatment stuff. Before I do any changing.
Got some great new music. |
The weekend of July 1st.
THis is the date, and at my place for a select few. Organic steaks for dinner and BYOM.
Bring your own music.
andy |
Tom,
If you are interested in hosting then I am all ears. If you are looking for a place to get together, I am interested as well. I still have a few organic steaks in the freezer for our group of audio friends. The time is the issue for me.
I am wearing too many hats at the moment and have been running in circles. Still have not had a chance to have anyone come over and listen to the room in the new house. |
I just found a high end two channel shop in Cleveland, there are several brand options and is only by appointment.
Here is his web site, he is also a music professor in Cleveland.

It has been almost two years since my wife and I began a relocation. At that point my gear went into storage and the music has been dead. Today we have moved into our new digs, they are not complete yet. Kitchen, bathroom, and the rest of the first floor is to be finished, but i have a dedicated room for the first time. It is not perfect, but after 2 years, I am chompin at the bit to get the rig out and running again.
Will be spending some time figuring out the best room configuration, as I now have a third floor "man cave" that will be and ht on one end and a 2 channel on the other.
I can't wait to sit and listen for a while. Rehabbing a crackhouse was a romantic idea, but has nearly killed me. I need to relax before the craziness that is the holiday season is going to bring. |
Anyone willing to show me the analog front end ropes or point to a great place to spin some vinyl before I make my next move toward 2 channel bliss. |
