Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?


Any Cincinnati, OH -based audiophiles on this forum? I have found only one truly high end dealer here, and they are leaning more and more towards high end home theater so they tend to be quite busye, and no longer set up truly "reference" systems one can listen to for calibration. Would love to get into touch with other fellow maniacs in the area Hard to know what else you "need" unless you can hear it and covet it in someone else's set up!

Hey everyone! Its been so hot recently that I thought it would be "cool" to have a gathering here at my store with a couple of new products that we've gotten in. This event will be VERY DIFFERENT than the Nordost/Dynaudio/Simaudio/Pro-Ject Event where we will have more time to listen to our own music....

Date will be August 25th starting off at 4pm.

We'll be displaying... in 2 Different Rooms the following..

Magico V2's Floor standing Reference Loudspeaker

Magico Q3 (Less than 3 Dealers in the US have this on display as of Yet due to the high demand)

Boulder 1010 Preamp
Boulder 1060 Stereo Amplifier
Boulder 1008 Phono Amp
Boulder 865

24Bit/192kHz Music Flac Files via...
Bryston BDP-1
Musical Fidelity M1CliC
Cambridge Audio NP30 (96kHz Max)
PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC
Boulder 1021 CD/DAC

I want this to be a meeting where we get to play more of the music that you bring rather than a big huge presentation so it will be relaxed environment. Bring your Records, CD's and 24bit music on jump drives. If you could RSVP to the Sales@hansonav.com I would really appreciate it so I can get an idea on how much spirits and food to have ready!

Of course as always it's free to join and please feel free to bring a friend and let us know when you RSVP.

Also there will be a drawing for a free pair of Grado Headphones!

Guys, just got a David Berning 100w triode amp, a VPI SDS for my table and a Zu/Denon cartridge to alternate with the Wilson cartridge. Different sound than before. If anyone is curious to hear this gear, I'm up for some visits. I know that I had wondered about the Zu for years. I also have a Doge 8 preamp that much has been written about. Just contact me.

Guys ; My long search for a amp has come to a end I now own a NAT SE2SE mono block SET amp with a pair of 211 tubes in a push pull circuit. The amps put out 70 watts a channel quite a change from the UltraFi 's with 18 watts per channel .My speakers now have the power they have needed for so long.The UltraFi's were a wonderful amp but just did not have the power my speakers needed I still have the SET magic, beautiful sound staging , transparency and a bottom end that kicks ass .Anybody have a quad of GE 211 tubes I could try for a short term loan ? Now I can start dreaming about a preamp next year maybe at the top of the list is the coincident statement line stage anybody have a used one for a cheep price LOL . I can dream can't I
