Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?

Nutty,

They did have the BAT-Maggie setup in the big room, but I didn't listen to it. Really, just spent about an hour talking with Mark and Brian about streaming audio. Got a demonstration of Roon and Tidal. This is my next area of focus, so it was a very timely visit. I enjoyed it immensely. And the good news is that AE is a dealer for both Roon and Bluesound, both products that interest me. If I go that route, will definitely buy from Audible Elegance.

reubent, 
I like your decision to go with A/E on your purchase. I try to buy from them when possible. I purchased my Levinson amp, Classe' preamp, a few CD players, my studiotech stand and miles of cables through them. I was there Wednesday considering new interconnects for my Ayre cx-7emp. I was thinking Wireworld Eclipse 7, Mark suggested Audioquest or maybe (Cardas)- but really liked AQ best. 
Im gonna sleep on it. But cheers! to supporting your local Hi-FI guy!

Hello everyone,

Pardon my absence from here but, I have very preoccupied with my wife's heart condition which ultimately, 2 months ago, resulted in successful open heart surgery at the Cleveland Clinic followed by many weeks of a rough recovery.  I have been very busy writing in news groups for ICDs (pacemakers with a built in defibrillator) and HCM (a genetic heart condition disease).  She was hammered by the defibrillator 26 times and I shared 6 of those hits while holding her and calling 911.  Rather like holding onto an electric horse fence.

I'd like to address the downsizing of my store, Audible Elegance, in Cincinnati while I ran an operation here in Salt Lake City as well as a horse farm.  The actual demonstration area was reduced by no more than 20%. The truth of the matter is that so many customers have been buying on line, Amazon and such, that continuing to use that much space really did not make good business sense.  Combine that with an offer to buy me out of that space so another tenant could rent that whole old building simply made it an obvious choice.

I will be returning permanently to the east, in the near future, and I am sure everyone will enjoy the continuing changes that are now underway, particularly for the audio enthusiast. 

Happy Listening to all.   Thank you,

Lou

Hey Cincinnati! Anyone still out there, Alive and kickin'? 

Hey reubent!

Still here in Cin-city. Havn’t been to Audible Elegance in quite some time. Made a few calls and asked a few questions. Mark, as usual offered sage and honest advice.

I hear they may have some competition locally. Have you visited Hansen Audio?

PS sorry I missed your pm earlier last month.
