Maryland,Wash.DC Metro area

Larryr,
I'd probably benefit from the advice of 'local' audiophiles so I'd like to see such a club start up. I'm afraid I have more problems and few if any answers or things to discuss. I'm really on the very low end of audiophile and seem to have put together a poor reciever (NAD 7100)/CD (Marantz CD63)/Speaker (B&W 602) combo. The upper high freqencies are too harsh. Especially when voices sing words with 's' in them, sounds like a prolonged 'zzzzzz'. Any advice?

I am in Reston, and I guess I am not a big 'club' person. If this turns in to something pretty informal, count me in. I have a system with which I am very happy, still learning a lot about taming my room and getting the acoustics right. Would love some help!

I would be interested in seeing people share experiences, advice, and system/listening suggestions. I'm in Rockville. Let me knwo if something forms.

Hey! Lets get it going!
I'm in alexandria. I know a few people from work who would be into it, and I know a few in the national symphony are way into it.

i'm about 10 minutes west of fredneck - er, i mean frederick. club-stuff doesn't go over too well chez-sedon, what w/me also active w/alfas, panteras, motorcycles, & two young children. (and, this time of the year, ~6 hrs of mowing/week). but, who knows - i mite be up for sometin', sometime...

saxatilis, ewe can ameliorate what is prolly yust a typical case of digital nastiness by inserting an ase z-man, or a musical fidelity (x-10?) tubed buffer-stage between the nad & the marantz. this was the only way i could tolerate cd's, until i got a decent tube preamp. as these tings were only ~$200 brand-gnu, they're quite reasonable on the used market...

also, for those into jazz, latin, african, carribean music, i *highly* recommend a quality tuna, set to 89.3 - wpfw. i find that at least half my listening is now done w/the tuna as the source.

regards, doug s.
