Cleveland, OH


Anyone in the NE Ohio area that are still stalwart 2 channelers?
How about those of you who got rid of their stereo gear to go HT
only to regret it. Are you out there? COMMENTS

There ya go Jeff, ask and you shall recieve! I would like to help or join the fun, I am good with gear and hooking up but I have a spinal disease wich really puts me at a dis-advantage.....all the same it would be fun to hang out!
Thanks Brownsanandy for the Donbetteraudio tip. I will check them out this week while I am visiting my brother.

Todd - if you can't figure out a McIntosh system, it will be very hard for you to help anyone! Good luck though.

thanks guys for all the replies. as soon as all my new gear arrives (mid-january), i will be in touch to take you up on offers to help. in the meantime, i would love to get involved in any local audio club -- if anything is organized for our area. its great to know that there are others around who are similarly afflicted with this madness!

happy holidays
Don Better has been around, everyone in Cleveland should know about him, other than that and AudioCraft its getting slim, AudioVisions does not count.
I didn't know this "local club" thing existed on Audiogon. I am a 53 yr old audio lover who has been dabbling in audiophile/hi-fi stuff for 30+ years here in N. Ohio. I am a strong 2 channel guy, but also built a home theater in 1987 when we built in Westlake (still live there), and was known to be on that cutting edge during th late 80's and early 90's (even got written up in Cleveland Magazine...:>) ).

I have done a lot of work to maintain separate signal paths for a dedicated 2 channel, 5.1 channel hirez music surround and 7.1 channel movie surround (110 inch hidef since '99) system. About 75% of my listening now is dedicated 2 channel.

Don Better is a great guy and great resource. As all others die off (Hoffmans, then Golden Grampohone, now Audio Craft is weakening to the point of irrelevance, and Audio Visions is catering to "drop in" hoem theater. Don Better is ramping up his high-end busioness even more, with new lines like Basis, ARC and Quad in the past few months. I'm buying a Nottingham vinyl setup from him very soon.

Here's my gallery at Audio Circle (gives you a little look at my past few equipment moves, etc.).

Anyway, I'm glad to have found this! I'd love to hook up.
