That's one! Any more takers?

Still no takers? :-/ Come on. Wheres the spirit? Or is this the cheap Bose theatre surround market? I need to move to NC. They have a place called The Analog Store. Guess what they sell? And they survive! lol. For real though.... New idea! How about one full day. Like a mini audio show. Bring a couple pieces of gear and some cables you are fond of and we'll give em all a listen, mix and match, drink tasty Belgian beer (im not promoting alcoholism here) and chat it up about experiences thus far. It would be a beneficial thing for those in the beginning stages and for those with established rigs. I'd have no problem recommending my place but it isn't the ideal listening room and 5 is a crowd. And its an apartment. Don't want to get reported. lol! Maybe I should invite the neighbors that would call the cops. ;-) Hope to hear from more of you.

Hey there. Thanks for the reply.

I listen to quite a lot of music and I've gotten into Acoustic guitar and new age classical and piano quite a bit about a year ago. I listen to a lot of other stuff you nor I would ever dream of playing on our rigs (only in the car) but other than that I keep it simple and light at home. More enjoyable.

I understand your 5 member rule. Even with one other person in the room with me I can hear a slight offset in the sound and I lose my sweet spot which I hate sharing. :) I was more/less trying to start something up to try to learn more than I could from going to a dealer and staring at their gear when I'd rather bring something home to hear, swap, trade and try.

We'll see what happens. Thanks!

Very true. And I'll keep trying. Thanks!

Unfortunately since the date this post was first written I've moved into a larger place and now have a room mate so I can't offer my residence as a place for listening events. But it doesn't mean I won't grab some gear and haul it wherever!
