North Carolina Audio Club

Good morning Energizer,

How are you this fine day? I would love to communicate with you until I finally arrive to Concord NC. Presently, I am totally dumb regarding how to get around town even.

Regarding my audio system, here goes:

Threshold S/300 power amp
Classe DR-5 pre amp
DIY/Rock turntable (I used the platter and bearing from the Elite Rock to complete the DIY turntable. I use a Jelco
750-D tonearm).
Benz Micro Cart
Parasound 2000 belt drive CD transport/DAC
Upgraded power cables and interconnects
Magnapan MG-2 speakers (soon to be upgraded by P.Gunn)
Technics 1506 tape deck
Tascam 32-2B tape deck
Otari MTR-15 master tape deck
Sony APR-5003 master tape deck
Varied collection of reel to reel tapes

I spend major time listening to modern jazz (big/small band), single instrument, small and large classical works. I love choral music so spend lots of time listening to Bach, Beethovan, Cherubini, Ralph Vaugh Williams, and others.

Individual jazz artists are:

Lee Konitz
Tony Williams
Miles Davis
Bill Evans
Gil Evans
Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra (fantastic)
Modern Jazz Quartet
Stan Kenton
John Coltrane
Dave Brubeck
Stan Getz
Joe Henderson
Charlie Parker
Billie Holiday
Diana Krall
Shirley Horn, just to name a few

I also love Blood Sweat & Tears, Joan Baez, Earth Wind & Fire, Sade and a few others.

Well sir, that's it for now. I look forward to hearing from you when you can spare a moment. By the way, I am looking forward to getting my speakers up to Mr. Peter Gunn prior to leaving the Maryand area. My hope is that he can work on then sooner than the proposed date in August. Thanks again for taking the time to post to me. I really appreciate.

Hi everyone in Western NC,
I'm in Sylva NC and would love to have/see an audio club in the area. Will be relocating to Asheville by Nov 1 2010, and still would like to see a group come together in this area. My current system is made up of 50% DIY Pass Labs, etc. and interested in seeing a good group of mature secure guy's and gal's who have the passion that I've had for the past 30 years to share the love of music and audio.
Hope to hear form many interested parties.

Are there any audio clubs or audiophiles north of Charlotte, NC (in the Huntersville/ Cornelius/Lake Norman area)? Years ago there was a club that met about 50 miles away on the south suburbs of Charlotte so I only attended a few times.
