Hi everyone in Western NC,
I'm in Sylva NC and would love to have/see an audio club in the area. Will be relocating to Asheville by Nov 1 2010, and still would like to see a group come together in this area. My current system is made up of 50% DIY Pass Labs, etc. and interested in seeing a good group of mature secure guy's and gal's who have the passion that I've had for the past 30 years to share the love of music and audio.
Hope to hear form many interested parties.

Good morning Energizer,
How are you this fine day? I would love to communicate with you until I finally arrive to Concord NC. Presently, I am totally dumb regarding how to get around town even.
Regarding my audio system, here goes:
Threshold S/300 power amp
Classe DR-5 pre amp
DIY/Rock turntable (I used the platter and bearing from the Elite Rock to complete the DIY turntable. I use a Jelco
750-D tonearm).
Benz Micro Cart
Parasound 2000 belt drive CD transport/DAC
Upgraded power cables and interconnects
Magnapan MG-2 speakers (soon to be upgraded by P.Gunn)
Technics 1506 tape deck
Tascam 32-2B tape deck
Otari MTR-15 master tape deck
Sony APR-5003 master tape deck
Varied collection of reel to reel tapes
I spend major time listening to modern jazz (big/small band), single instrument, small and large classical works. I love choral music so spend lots of time listening to Bach, Beethovan, Cherubini, Ralph Vaugh Williams, and others.
Individual jazz artists are:
Lee Konitz
Tony Williams
Miles Davis
Bill Evans
Gil Evans
Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra (fantastic)
Modern Jazz Quartet
Stan Kenton
John Coltrane
Dave Brubeck
Stan Getz
Joe Henderson
Charlie Parker
Billie Holiday
Diana Krall
Shirley Horn, just to name a few
I also love Blood Sweat & Tears, Joan Baez, Earth Wind & Fire, Sade and a few others.
Well sir, that's it for now. I look forward to hearing from you when you can spare a moment. By the way, I am looking forward to getting my speakers up to Mr. Peter Gunn prior to leaving the Maryand area. My hope is that he can work on then sooner than the proposed date in August. Thanks again for taking the time to post to me. I really appreciate.

hi rbwinterlink, i live in asheboro n.c.it is about 45 miles from concord.there is no audio club here either.i would be glad to exchange thoughts and opinions of our audio hobby.not to mention possibly hearing and comparing systems. |
Hello All,
I may be that my house will finally sell so that I can relocate to Concord, NC. I am almost sure there are no audio clubs there. So, I guess the nearest one would be in Charlotte, NC?
Even before I relocate to NC I would love to begin communicating with those who wish to email me here in Baltimore, MD. I want to get the know some people there in NC so that when I arrive I will already have astablished some audio relationships.
PS: I recently purchased a fine set of Magnapan MG-2's which I will be delivering to Mr. Peter Gunn for his outstanding work. I hope to have those completed by the time I relocate. Thank you so much all.

I just landed in metro-Charlotte and would like to know if the Charlotte Audiophile Society got off the ground.
Thanks. |
I am living in Baltimore, Maryland, but plan on moving to Concord, NC soon. I would love to begin communicating with members of audio clubs near that area. I am not familiar with NC so will have to learn how to get around.
By the way, I will want to purchase a set of Magnapan 1.6 speakers upon arrival and getting settled. Where can I go to hear these speakers near where I will be residing? I look forward to hearing from you.

Buff - Best wishes with your store and keep us informed about meetings. I am in Hendersonville
Joe |
I am opening a new store out of my home here in Charlotte and will be hosting a meeting or two later this year for the Charlotte Audiophile Society.
We will have gear on display from Dynaudio, Bel Canto, MIT, Oppo digital, Apple and possibly some other companies
My shop is called Liquid HiFi and inquiries can be directed to ronaldbuffington@msn.com |
my location, asheboro n.c. |

Sigh... everyone's from the cool places, like Asheville and Raleigh.
Drew and Guy, I'll probably send an email to get on your lists, to stay up-to-date on what's happening.
In the meantime, are there any members from eastern NC, particularly the New Bern, Greenville, Jacksonville area?
Rob |
how about central n.c.anything going on in greensboro, high point , areas. |
I am seeking 501-C certification so we may rent facilities at low cost and I am seeking the occasional commercial sponser to offset costs, not commercial representatives using the member list for customers. Drubrew your enthusiasm is appreciated but a call for a meeting is premature at this point. I really don't want this to start quickly and fizzle out quickly.
For those interested NC Triangle area folks and those willing to travel to the Raleigh area, please email me at twochannel_guy@yahoo.com
Guy |
For those in Raleigh, send me an email and I will get a list going. Shall we set up a preliminary date for something?
Thank You.
