Anyone not frozen or snow bound please post so we can at least get an idea of how many are interested.

Hello
It looks like 2/7 is a good day.
now we have where - by majority
topics - open forum
components - have had or thinking of getting
points of meeting after 2/7 - observe, listen to systems
General Rule: as long as it sounds good to the owner, that's what's counts. We all have our own hearing curve. No system should have nrgative comments. If the person wishes an opinion, only positive, constructive.
Equipment for sale or trade - members have first choice at the lowest price before eBay or any other sales venue.
Comments, ideas are welcome to better the "club." A name would also be fun.
Get back to me.

Hey all, Saturday 2-7 can be ok with me. I will be coming off of my last midnight shift. I can probably leave work at 4am, get about 6hrs sleep and I'm good to go. I live in Tonawanda, Buffalo area, so anything close to the Henn. or Victor exits is fine. I would not mind someplace in Victor, might as well check the Analog Shop out while I'm there. Anybody have any suggestions. Please post or email. Thanks. |
Win:
Get rest and drink lots-o-fluids.
Thanks again for taking the lead.
I and possibly 2 more that I have communicated with are in.
Keep us posted.
Thanks

Hello gents,
I would be very interested in getting together with my CNY neighbors to discuss hi-fi gear, music, etc. If a February 2004 meeting in Rochester is still in the cards, please keep me posted! I live in Syracuse and am currently running a SET-based rig in my home.
Happy New Year to all :-)

Whl248, I might be able to make it on the seventh of Feruary. I do work a shift schedule 24-7. I have not checked next years schedule out, if I am working, this is a good excuse for a vacation day. This stuff sure as h beats work. I used to live in Rochester 10 years ago, so anyplace is fine with me. Nothing too formal would be appreciated. Maybe we could try someplace near the Henrietta or Victor exits off of the 90. I will pay attention to the postings and e-mail when something comes. Let me what comes up and thanks for the extroidinary effort.

Hello:
I have received 3 answers, we are not esoteric. I believe that we can all learn from each other.
The first Saturday in February for a lunch has been offered as a first time meeting. Where to be determined, but we will try for equal travel distance.
As I read these threads a number from Syracuse have shown interest. We extend an invitation to you and Buffalo Residents. This will not only a learning group but review products, come up with different mods or tweaks. Not only can we benefit in knowledge but can "co-op" buying so that some needed things can be bought at a lowerprice by buying a number of units all at once. Please make contact soon - just a line to show interest There is sense in at least 1 meeting, then email contacts and meet only when there is a good reason.
So for all that posted, we're doing what all of you posted that you want. Come on out of the woodwork. This sounds very good in those that replied to me. Contact me ASAP! There will be passing no judgements or criticism. Comparisons we may do, but there is the learning factor. Contact me or for courtesy decline. It's up to you.
Thanks |
Okay we are now 3. We have a start. A suggestion of the first Saturday in February has been made with equi-distance traveling.
Three of us have shown support for the formation. Mention of not frequent meetings has been mentioned - As I have chaired many Committees, I hold the thought of regular meetings without a good reason to be true.
Will all others intersested drop me an e and we can go a little farther and look at an agenda and meeting place.
I thank all that have responded so far and request the numerous others to venture out and contact me.
To all I wish the best of Holiday Seasons, a hope and a note for true Peace on Earth and may it happen as through a Miracle so that Family Members will be home. All of these tidings extend to not only the Posters but their Family and loved ones as well. |
I am just below Syracuse. So I am okay just about anywhere you would like to meet. First, lets pick sometime in February. That gets the holidays over with and gives everyone time to jump on board and make plans. Lets pick the city for dinner when we have everyones attention and commitment. We will figure a place that is equal distance for everyone to travel.
You have to admit that we share a unique hobby that is not equally enjoyed by most. We are a rare breed. With that said. I am commiting to do this. I don't have a calander handy so if someone does when they are reading this, find what Saturday is in the middle of the month of February and post it. Now who's in? |
Okay, I've seen two replies come to my inbox.
My opinion is setting some criteriea BEFORE we drive numerous miles to meet and then be not too happy as it is not what we want or expect.
In my last post I mentioned some criteria for what may be desired. If acceptable, why not go through that and see.
I have McIntosh and Scott tube equipment, with some McIntosh, Yamaha, Adcom, NAD, and Technics SS.
Within the above, I have full separates, tuner/pre-amps, and Receivers. I tend toward 2 channel and if I want to listen to better sound that HT, I can run my Television audio through my two channel.
Speakers: Klipsch is my main source, Paradigm Mini-Monitors with PDR 10 sub.
What I would like to get from an Audio club is good dicussion of equipment, new ideas and a sharing of resources and ideas.
With that, I would ask all to post/contact me and we go forward. We have 3 interested by posts this month. There were another 3 that I would like to hear from. (Can you tell I've chaired many meetings?).
I am in Rochester, by the airport, a Crime/Loss Prevention Specialist and have given seminars regarding tube audio, tube values and such. I do not sell or promote any systems, I have my own 3 way - door sensors, PIRs, and trigger alarma if a piece is disconnected or lited. So there is no hidden agenda.
Okay now let's answer the questions, hear from the others and get moving. |
Well, it looks like we hover in Central/Western NY. I have very limited time to play these days, but I will toss in my thoughts...
Maybe to get the ball rolling, we should try to meet for dinner, somewhere between Syracuse & Rochester? We could chat about who uses what equip, music preferences, experiences in buying/demo-ing gear, what we are looking to do as a group etc.
Please post your thoughts.
If anyone has the time to coordinate/contact those who are interested, feel free to step up to the plate. |
Well, who wants to be the responsible party to get the ball rolling? Do we want to meet?
Do we want to have a get together over dinner? |
Hello, I'm in Tonawanda, just outside of Buffalo. I am a seasoned newbie, over a year into this, would not mind being a part of this discussion group, as long as we keep a lid on the Bills, at least for now. |
Well we are the Audio six which will change as members come and go.
As we enter this do we wish distinction between : tube vs SS, vintage vs new, modified vs non modifies, analog vs digital?
Those are not critical questions, but will help with a feeling of what we like.
Geographically, where would we like boudaries? (Personally, I'm happy with Plainville Farms for lunch or dinner in Depew. (Turkey lover)
again, all I post are my own opinions. So:
I like vintage tubve, but also some SS.
Some mods have been done but mainly to keep in spec.
I like the debates over analog vs digital.
My main theory is that there is no perfect system. We all have different hearing curves, we all have different budgets and musical tastes. So what I have is not what I would call perfection. If a system sounds good to a person, that is what counts and no pouncing on anyone for someting they own.

Well, we have 6 people which seems like a perfect number to get started. What are we waiting for? |
Hi i'm Tommy, just getting started. But i would love to hear what i'm missing. ( N. Syracuse ) |
Greetings:
I'm in the Rochester, NY area and would like to see at least a discussion group. As Syracuse has Plainville Farms that would count as automatic inclusion as Buffallo would be.
As an offside I would love to see the definitions of "Upstate NY." |
Let me know when the first meeting is and I would like to join in. I'm in Virgil just down the road from Greek Peak ski resort. |
I'm also in Syracuse area. (Camillus) |
