Hi,
I'm interested in joining an audio club. Although I live 50 miles northwest of Phila, I work in Phila and spend my week there. My system consists of a Sonograph SD-1 for CD and a Rega Planar 2 W/ a Grado Reference Platinum cartridge and an Audio Alchemy VAC in the Box phono preamp for vinyl. A Conrad Johnson PV-8 preamp and two Golden Tube Audio SE 40's run mono to drive the top end of a pair of Snell A III's and a Adcom GFA 555 to drive the bottom end of the snells. I also have a Creek OBH-11 headphone amp and a pair of Sennheiser HD 570 headphones. I'm currently driving the Snells with the Adcom as I'm having trouble with the GTA's. I'm looking for someone to fix them and maybe upgrade them. I can be contacted via Audiogon. |
I am interested in a possible audio and/or video club in Delaware. I would like to start one at my home if others would like. I live in central Delaware. drbarney1@juno.com is my address. I am also interested in any other activity in Delaware. I use 45 SET amplifiers with dual outputs and electronic filters that circumvent the need for speaker crossovers. I design and build my own amplifiers.
I have nothing against other approaches to sound systems; i.e. push pull amplifiers, horn speakers, and even solid state things. |
Rick, we currently meet roughly every other month in the home of one member or another. While most of us live in the greater Philadelphia area, we have some members living further away. In fact, our next meeting is being hosted by a member in the Lancaster area in mid-March, and our last meeting in January was in New Jersey.
Our group is very informal. Generally, folks enjoy the opportunity to get together every other month or so to share conversation, listen to some music and, perhaps, hear someone else's music system. Mostly, we seem to just enjoy getting together with others who enjoy this crazy hobby of ours and for whom talking about audio and music is not a strange foreign language!
Love to have you join us. If you will contact me directly via Audiogon, I'll be happy to get in touch with you with more details. Please include your direct email address and home phone number.
Regards, |
Two activities coming up: regular bi-monthly meeting this Sunday, July 18; group trip to Red Trumpet in York, PA, at the end of July. If you're anywhere in the area and have an interest in participating with us, drop me a note. . |
I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this or not....
I'm new to the King of Prussia area and am looking for local audio stores where I can audition some speakers and I figured this would be a great place to ask!
The closer to KOP the better, ideally under 20 miles!
please just respond to my email address: geoffgarcia@hotmail.com
so as not to take this thread off topic!
thanks
!Geoff! |
I have heard that Chestnut Hill is good. I also know that Soundex is sometimes as is the Audio Clinic |
Red Planet Audio would like to visit us the last week in September Are any of us available. I have been off the radar due to a heavy travel schedule and a PC that has been attacked by Adware |
Hi Dan,
Sunday, September 26 is spoken for. Steve and Joe T. have arranged a demo at a dealer's location with Granite electronics and Von Schwiekert speakers. I don't know if trying to do two demos in rapid succession will be good for the group, we'd need to pose the question on the mailing list.
Remember that you can go to the PAAG web site on Yahoo Groups to see the email archive and see the discussion about this demo date and the recent group trip to Red Trumpet. For the Granite/von S. demo, see Steve's emails on 7/21 and 7/27.

Hi Glenn,
We'd be delighted to have you join us. I think you will find us a congenial group of folks who enjoy music, audio and visiting with each other. I'll send you a direct email with more information about the group and our next gathering.
Best regards,
Rush

Our next meeting is September 26: an Audio Demo with Doug Hoglund, owner and designer of Granite Audio electronics http://www.graniteaudio.com/, and Rusty Taub, national sales manager for Von Schweikert Audio http://www.vonschweikert.com. Doug will have full set of his very well designed Granite tube electonics driving Von Scheikert VR-4JR speakers in one room. Andy will have the new Von Schweikert DB-99's in another room being driven by a full line of Consonance tube gear, including the Cyber 211 SET monoblocks. Both CD and vinyl will be playable. If you would like to get acquainted with the Philadelphia Area Audio Group, post a reply here and a member of the group will contact you with more informantion. . |
Please send me info, too. I'm in NJ, but right across the river from Philly and would love to get involved with the PAAG.

I'm interested in meeting other audiophiles in the area. Being without a car (priorities right?) makes it a little bit difficult. But the Red Trumpet visit sounds great. I've been meaning to take a trip there sometime. Can someone send me some info.
Thanks,

Hello. I live in Center City. I'm trying to become more knowledgeable about audio in order to keep improving my system. I have had lots of good results having equipment modified by a local audio technician, but I'm clueless when it comes to selecting equipment and accessories. At the moment I'm trying to figure out tube amps and speaker loads. I use vinyl and digital (redbook CD) sources; analog generally sounds better to me, even old worn out LPs. Digital can come close with a good DAC and a good recording, though there don't seem to be enough of the latter.
If the group is open, please let me know. I've got lots of room and could host, though my own system would probably seem a little underdeveloped at the moment except maybe for the Museatex Bidat, a Meitner designed DAC, recently upgraded by a former colleague of the designer.
Thanks
