Las Vegas

Hi,

I'm an audio/video enthusiast here in Southern Highlands and have always wondered if there are any others here in Vegas who share the same hobby. I've attended the last 2 CES and bought a pair of old Maggie IIIs recently. This is audio epiphany as I realized I've been missing a lot from my old cd's with my previous system. So I got bitten by the upgrade bug and got more hardware. Nothing fancy, just Parasound Halos A23 and P1 and Lexicon/Bryston 512 Then I recently got an old pair of Maggie SMGa s and boy does this humble set up swing. They really thrive on acoustic material like Blues(Clapton, Keb Mo) and Jazz Vocals(Krall, Monheit, Bennett) or Ensembles.
I saw in the internet that there is an audiophile soceity here in town but have not yet contacted them.

Hi,

I have not checked in for awhile. I moved in June to New York in order to care for my dad, and hope to return often. I will ultimately come back. Although it is not my preference to live in Long Island once again, it is good for this hobby :-) I had three dedicated lines installed, bought a nice component rack, and use my father's formal living room for my 2-channel and the dining room for my home theater!!! I care for him all day, and although he has little short term memory, he has figured out where I spend my time :-) I am in the living room, on my "Perfect Chair", listening to music!!! Relax the Back sells this chair. Go check it out!! I have the discontinued love seat model so my wife can enjoy the hobby!!

Hello Gabbea007, Welcome to the Las vegas Audiogon chapeter.:) As you can see we don't post here much, but it's always good to hear from from some one. An audiophile society here in Vegas? I can't even find a really high end audio shop here, :( Not that I could afford them., but it would be nice to here some really high end rig's to at least have a sound reference to. PM, Sorry to hear you had to leave, hope everythings going ok with your dad. Just thinking about living in NY this time of year made me go put on a coat:) The good thing I guess is there are alot more high end dealers in NY then in vegas. Drop a line every now and then to let us know what you've found.

Is there a place to take tubes and have them tested in the Vegas Valley?

I think vincent stereo on charelston can do it. There are two used stores there. One is Vincent the other I do not know the name. They look cluttered inside but, Bobby is the person you want to talk to,he probably can do it or tell you where to go. Hope this helps. Baxel
