Las Vegas

Hi Dave....good to hear from you, too!
What's your system? Any recommendations for good dealers in town?
Jeff

Hi Jeff, I'm just west of the Strip. Good to hear form someone around here.

Avgoround: Yes, THE Show is still going on...theshowlasvegas.com It's @ the Flamingo.

Hey is there "The Show" at CES anymore? I don't see it when I google search. Just want to know what audiophile stuff is at this years convention gig, jan 8-11, 2013. Anyone know, and where it might be?

Hi there....
Just saw this; I'm Jeff....a beginner audiophile, rediscovering the stereo bug I got in high school many, many years ago. I am in the process of rebuilding my system, based around my Arcam Alpha 9 integrated and power amps, which I bi-amp with my B&W 805's. I'm picking upsome vintage pieces (Marantz 6300 turntable.....), supplementing it with other stuff: saving up for a Steve Blinn rack, got all sorts of other plans.

I see this Las Vegas thread is quite old and doesn't look very active any more....but I just wanted to say hi. I'm in Green Valley.

Thanks,
Jeff

One more call for alcohol! heh. Seriously, let's get something going, shall we? I'm game.

Anyone still interested?

Ok, cool, good to know. I hope you feel better.

police were able to recover some of my gear.

Well, it's been quite some time here. Anyone still interested? :D

Sorry to hear this, Lunna. My sympathies. I would scour the pawn shops and thrift stores. Do you have photos of the stolen equipment and the serial numbers?

these are electrostats and planar speakers

I'm sure you've considered all the roommate/friend/ex girlfriend connections. That's how most of this stuff occurs and how I got ripped off before. Hope you find out what happened and get your stuff back. Insurance coverage?

hello, i just wanted other local audiophiles to know, all of my gear was stolen while i was away. if anyone sees any high end gear being dumped in bulk,locally please let me know. thank you.

Yoh, I'm keen for a GTG just drop us a line

Des LV

Nothing yet, eh?

Sounds good. Let's get this club rollin'!

Hi, Yep count me in for a GTG just drop me a line as well--

Thanks Again,

Des

Cool! Awesome system! Let me know how that goes. I'll be here. Drop me a line whenever.

Thanks,

-Dave

Thanks for your response. Ah, that sucks. So, no chance of ever being a club?

I am packing to move back to Las Vegas!!! I will do everything to gather a group of serious audiophiles!! I have Vandersteen 5A's, Arc Ref III pre, Arc 210 Monos, Audio Aero Prestige SE sacdp, top of the line Purist cabling with Elrod Statement Gold power cords on the monos, a plethora of tweeks.....will be in place by the fall.

No real club in town. Most of the local audio types I've met are very private and busy with life.

Has the club been formed? If so, I would like to join!

Hi Mike, Received your posting via Agon today-- is the Demo in Vegas?--if so count me in-- Just say where/when and details/etc and I'll reply.

Thank you,
Des

We are having a demo hosted by Mark Levinson. Showcasing there new pre pro

HI All,

Australasian Hi Fi Dude residing in Vegas-Off Rainbow/215 area would like to catch up with Nigel and other likeminded Audiophiles for some listening,Chat comparing notes,music /etc.

Thanks in anticipation,

DesW

Anyone want to get together----newcomer to area and would like to listen to some good music and gear --- located in henderson and have 2 systems that are ok

i dropped off the face of the earth.

Nigel:

I responded to your email and will be there. Hopefully we can get some others involved...

John

I've been looking to get a few audio nuts together for a few years now.

Maybe do something like the first friday of the month rotating hosts each month.

I would be willing to kick things off in February if a few people wanted to come over spin some records and maybe share a few good cuts with each other. Or if someone wanted to bring some IC's or speaker cables we could compare them?

I'm located in the SW right off the 215.

Its only two weeks away lets see if we can put something together.

-Nigel

Any audio nuts out there in sin city.

I agree with what has been posted - Premiere has the nicest folks and Creative Home Theater has the biggest wow factor. There is so little here that I'm looking forward to a Southern California trip this month to visit a few shops and get caught up...

John

Hey guys,

I have not been to Abbotts in a long time so I do not know what they have. As for Premiere, Kim and Jim are great to deal with. They are limited to only a few brands that they push. I think Image Sound and Control use to be named something else but, anyway they carry a completely different product so it is nice to see other items. There is another place down on Vallet View,Creative Home Theater and they are nice also. As with anything, I would do my homework before I really took any one's word on what to buy. If you are looking into prepro's, I would look into the Integra DTC 9.8/Onkyo pro Prsc885p exact same units except for the face and has gotten great reviews. Look up the AVS forum or Sound and vision forum. I only found one person here who would sell it to me at a nice discount and I like it better then the Anthem that I was going to get. Good luck

You would think in a city built on excess, there would be more high end shop's in Vegas. I've lived here for 13 yrs and am disappointed with what we have here. Premier and Abbott's, if there still around are probably the closest to high end stuff we have in Vegas. You also might want to look at some of the online manufactures like Outlaw and Emotiva. You'll save a couple of hundred, which could be put towards speakers or cables.

Joe,

I personally head down to Scottsdale AZ to buy my high end gear.

I have been to three high end shops in Vegas to look around, and have a listen.

premiere home entertainment

www. premierehomeentertainment.com

they are in a very big building. Lots of theater rooms cool to just go check out and have a tour of the different rooms and play some music. This one the significant other actually may enjoy going to.

Image Sound & control

Nice little shop with good people.

there was a third that I went to once but can't remember the name.

I haven't been to any of these shops in over 2 years so things may have dramatically changed.

I am visiting Vegas in August for a wedding coming from Hawaii. I am looking to buy my new system while there. Can anyone recommend a couple (if there are) good high end audio shops.
Thx.

Joe in Hawaii

Pmrodier i live in las vegas bufflo& charelston area

I have an exemplar 5910 w russian tubes i'd like to compare to your apl 3910! let me know if you get a club together ....Frank

how is the audio club coming ?

Hi All, this is Anthony form Aberdeen Components, (chichiuno) long time resident of Audiogon. I moved to Vegas recently, and feel like I live on a island. In fact I am on a island out of reach with people with similar intrests.. looking to hook up with real people, in search of the truth. I come across some really cool products recomended from some old friends back home.. looking to share opinions with others, and such. Mostly geared to digtal.

Anthony

Hi Y'all. I am in the Cenntenial Hills area and I am into tube audio equipment. If any one needs some tubes tested I would be happy to do it. My musical preference is rock and jazz but I am willing to give anything a try. Hopefully we can get a club started.

everyone must still be very busy here ?

i don't have any thing in my email if you meant me.

i have met with 1 person and so far everyone is so busy

it was hard to meet again and talk audio.

John, F1stserve I sent you an email last week and hear back. you may want to check your spam/junk folder.

is it better to try and meet at a library

or a coffee shop or record store ?

in terms of getting things started

premiere home theatre does.

they used to host some cable seminars

Does anyone have a place and a system for ppl to get together and listen to music. In New York, there are six differnet clubs that meet monthly at a member's house. It is a lot of fun.

i used to buy records at a place on rainbow and westcliff, but it has since moved down to sahara and paradise.

do they have a place where everyone can meet and talk ?

the tower wow store used to be a good place, but it has changed inside .

i know of no other home audio stores where we can get together.

i used to check the for sale items at a store on west charleston and the items on the bulletin board there.

no shops around like that anymore.

how about a large coffee house or some place ?

Yes, but I don't know where to start. Well maybe. Where does everyone shop for used vinyl? The only place I have found is ZIA Record Exchange which is on Eastern near Flamingo.

anyone thought about this lately ?
