Chicago Audio Society June Meeting

Hi, Charlie. The June meeting will not include any equipment comparisons, as the purpose is to give the designers a chance to say a few words and answer questions, and to have an effective demonstration of what's on hand. From time to time we do comparisons, though.

It's been some time since the Teac CD changer was the favorite of some members, although I still have one, a bit nonfunctional. Some have moved on to the Aiwa/MSB combination, and others are using modified Philips SACD players. I'm not involved in all of that at this time.

Regarding the question of the $5 meeting fee for nonmembers, this has been discussed at length by the CAS Executive Committee and most likely will go into effect in early June. Keeping track of who had attended a free meeting and making the $5 fees applicable toward membership dues got to be a major burden for our officers doing this. As much as we want people to feel welcome, we are making this change to keep things simple.

All of that said, I suggest the June meeting will be extraordinary, one not to miss. People will get to hear some esoteric ultra high performance gear, as well as meet the designers, a rare combination. And as Sean mentioned, there's a good chance Bob Crump and some audio reviewers will show up. There will probably be some surprises, too. I encourage you to attend. Information including directions to the meeting location in Arlington Heights is on our website. If you have any questions, please feel free to mail me.

Thank you both for the info. I know you will have a great time. (Be sure to let us all know if you find some "sleeper" gear, after all.)
