Cleveland, OH

Chad,
Thanks for the invite and your crazy jokes, you really got me good.

Tom,
Thanks for the ride and conversation. Learned a bunch in the hour or three we spent together in the car. Can't wait to listen to that rig of yours.

Craig,
Thanks for being a gracious host and for letting me in on my first real audio experience.

Mike,
Thanks for the great story, I think it may be the funniest I have heard relating to this hobby. Looking forward to seeing and hearing some of those creations in the lab.

Everyone,
Thanks for all the help and the good time. I was glad to get the chance to meet you all, hope that we can do this again soon. And in april, may, or June we can do it at my new place in Brunswick.

Food, fun, and tunes. What else could a guy want on a Saturday.

Two channel is alive.

Hey Andy,
Glad you had a good time and got your first taste of some equipment changes.
The Alon speakers really opened up after a half hour or so after sitting for a few months, the Pass Labs amp was amazing pure class A power, the Linn pre was great to hear aswell, we played around with the 2 subs placement and got some good results.
Any locals that would like to get involved are encouraged to email me so we can get aquainted "Ears and Beers" happens every month or so at diffrent houses and is always a good relaxed time.

Anyone want to get together in Brunswick mid april to help me get the rig up and running in the new house?
If there are any takers I will put this together.

SURE, AS LONG AS I DONT HAVE TO HELP YOU MOVE. I AMA TUBE GUY WITH VINTAGE SPEAKERS BUT I NEED TO OPEN MY MIND TO MY NEXT STEP. FILL BE IN AND KEEP ME INFORMED. GOOD LUCK.

I agree with Tom (tpsonic), I prefer smaller, 2-3 person get-togethers. I just don't feel large audiences and high end audio lend themselves to each other.

With school and work now I don't have any time for this. But I'd like to get something in the works for the summer at my place, perhaps.

Also the group was somewhat functional/disfunctional before 2005. So I don't quite understand the swan songs for this group. Its demise is overestimated.
