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!

Well Hello Everybody hope the summer was good to you all and your family . I see a few of us have had mini meetings - thats good - and I have just had a small one myself. Tom Collins, Ed morris and Bill Sullander were over today , Bill came with his deHavilland GM70 amps and The Running Springs Audio Dmitri power conditioner -DAMN DAMN DAMN that darn power conditioner . That RSA Dmitri made the biggest improvement in My system I have ever heard with any eq. change WOW , we all sat in disbelief and awe at the seeming power increase, deeper solid bass , blacker background , larger soundstage ,dynamics we could find no flaws with it just more musical in every way. We switched amps back and forth a few times and I will have the amps and the RSA Demitri till next Sunday so I will be doing more testing this week but damn that Demitri sounds good real good. Bill also changed the output tube in his amps [ GM 70 tubes ] to a copper plate the best his amps have ever sounded and not by a small margin . I still want to try a solid state amp in my system [ stereo or mono blocks ] bring a bi wire speaker cable along also to see what a good SS amp will sound like . Hey guys just drop me a email or call if you have some time for a listen or bring a amp along for some fun
thanks for having us marc. i had a great time. good listening. sorry i had to run off like that and miss the dmitri. ed told me it was amazing. that's too bad, one more thing for the list.
see you soon.
Marc,I had a great time listening with you Bill and Tom.These smaller meetings are really fun and revealing. I was truly amazed by the Dimitri power conditioner. It completely transformed what was already a great system.This is a 'can't live without" kind of piece.
I thought Bill's Dehavilands were extraordinary,with power that I would never expect from a SET.

I look forward to our next "meeting".

just say the word if you want to hear mine.
Happy New Year! I just thought I would post something for 2010 so anyone surfing these pages wouldn't assume the Cincinnati audiophile scene is dead.

Any cool Cincinnati music goings-on? Find a new great spot to buy vinyl or try out gear? Drop a line!
I have some new babies. I brought home a pair of Dali Helicon 800 speakers yesterday. I will be updating the pictures on my system thread shortly. If anyone is interested in hearing these relatively unknown speakers, shoot me an email or call at 859-356-3100 and I would be happy to have folks stop by.
I have also recently upgraded to the Nottingham Space deck with an unusual vintage arm from Mission Acoustics playing with a benz woodbody cart and Lukashek phonostage.
