New York-UPSTATE

How many of us are within a 50 mile range of Syracuse? This group seems to be going nowhere fast. I can't help believe that there might be too great of a distance between the central NY and western NY people. If we have enough in the 50 mile range of Syracuse, or if people outside that range are interested. Lets get this going.We can meet for lunch somwhere in Syracuse, and then hit a store or two. Isn't there one in Liverpool? I know Clark's, and we could go there. But I am just going to juice them up for a sale and then leave. I guess I didn't look the part the last time I was there. I had 5 grand to spend on speakers, but I was wearing jeans and a jean coat. They treated me like crap. Twice!!
But seriously, lets get going. If we are waiting for someone to make a decission, I have no problem doing so. People??

Thank you for thoughts and condolences.

Now all we have left are memorial thank yous and a "tribute" for our local paper.

I am about 79 miles from Syracuse. I agree to do it right. I am open to ideas.

Hello fellow audio lovers, Just came across your dicussion group. Didnt know there was much interest in Audio gear and music in Upstate NY. I live in Rome NY and I have a decent system(levinson,Maggies,Mit etc) but not aware of too many places to listen to good gear and meet people that speak "Audio". Have you all had a meeting or is there a club or get together? Went to Clark Music but was disappointed! Any other places with good gear available?

We have not had a meeting as of yet - it has had to due with circumstances connected to me - a funeral and some tests I have had to have that became more immediate.

I have my calendar free now.

From what I have been sent and by the posts, this group is geared to meeting each other, discussing the pros and cons of audio - accuracy, timbre, life span of components, and many other areas. We will keep in mind hearing curve differentials, space and size relations, tube vs Solid State, etc., all with no idea to decide tube is best, SS is better - there are too many variables.

So for a first meeting, we have people from Syracuse, Buffalo, Rochester and all of their surrounding areas. Since I live in Rochester, it would not be fair for me to decide the first meeting place.

Rome is within Upstate New York, so there is no problem with anyone from that area.

The first meeting would focus on what we own, feel, want to own and sharing knowledge as opinions, as they would be that. I have worked with sound for 30+ years, - home, Recording: live or studio and all that you learn coming up the ranks.

For all: how does the last Saturday in February or the first Saturday in March sound? Also cast your ballot for location.

I should be ok with either date. Any location between Syracuse and Rochester is best for me.
