Concierto Cables or Transparent Cables?
Anyone else try any of the Concierto cables? 
Pass Lab, Mark Levinso or JRDG for Avalon Eidolon
I have heard the Eidolon's but never owned them.I do own the Rowland Model 12's and in researching these, I found that several people have been very happy with the combination of these speakers with the Model 12 amps.I can only assume that the 302... 
Audience Au24 vs. Ridge Street Audio?
Going back to the original subject of comparing the AU-24 to the RSA Poiema (and considering Audiofankj's incompatability) are both the RSA and AU-24 made of silver cable? 
best of two worlds...any preamp suggestions?
If you were impressed by the Spectral DMC 30S, don't rule out the DMC 30. I moved out of a tube Audio Research LS-16 for my Spectral DMC 30 and could not be happier.Obviously, I do not know your budget. However, I have seen DMC 30's available used... 
Speaker cable length for L/R channels critical?
Recommedations have always been to keep the cable lengths the same, regardless of speaker distance from your amp. It has to do with keeping the timing the same between your left and right channels. 
Rowland amps
I have a CL-10 and the 12's (love'm!) I have not auditionned the 201's. However, though they have less power, from the buzz I hear, the 12's may out perform the 201's.Truthfully, whichever amp you decide on, I'll bet you will have fabulous results! 
New York-UPSTATE
Questions-du-jour:1) Anyone still interested?2) Anyone hear from Win?3) Anyone contact pdl? 
DH Labs Revelation vs. Audience AU24,.experience?
It has been 5 months ...any other feedback in comparing these two IC's? 
Contemporary Jazz recommendations?
Being a lifelong R&R guy, I am fairly new to the jazz scene. However, I have found some jazz artists that are energetic with a rock edge...Jacco Pastorius & Gordon Goodwin are excellent recent additions to my stash. 
New York-UPSTATE
I should be ok with either date. Any location between Syracuse and Rochester is best for me. 
Integrated Amp with A/B Speaker Switch
I did the same search about 8 weeks ago. Best choices are in this budget Creek and Arcam.I ended up going with the Creek and it is just starting to break in.Email me if you would like further details. 
Dh labs t-14 question.....
I have no experience with the t-14. However, I can assure you that if your gear and speakers can deliver low (and I mean LOW) octaves, DH's Q-10 will beautifully carry the signal from your amp to your speakers.

Everyone that is interested should send an email to WHL248 (don't just post it here.) He has been kind enough to take the lead and attempt to coordinate this gathering.In an email earlier this week, he implied that the 1st mtg may be in the Syracu...
