Oregon Audiophiles...

Dave,  I look forward to meeting you when you can make it.  --Mike

A fellow audio-nut here and just relocated to Bend, OR.   Scanning the thread I see 1 or 2 other like minded folks in the area.  
Are there any meetings in Central OR?

I don't know of meetings in Central OR, but maybe it's time for audionuts there to start something.

I haven't done this for 9 months, so I hope it won't be considered spamming to repeat it for 2020.

Fellow Oregonians:  the Portland Audio Club meets monthly. We would love to have you with us! The PAC is a great place to trade stories with other audiophiles, to get to know people, and to hear a variety of audio systems.

Here’s the link to the Portland Audio Club. There, you can check out our past and upcoming meetings. Every meeting includes time for general discussion.

We have members with very elaborate systems and some with very simple systems. I have heard many of them, and I am amazed at the variety of systems that can produce engaging music.

We started via Meetup long before I became organizer, and I am glad we did. Meetup is the social network that doesn’t sell or trade your personal information. Instead, organizers pay for the service (and we recoup that through our nominal dues of $12/yr.

This year we have some great programs, including a couple of nights of tune-sharing, a demonstration of building a network streamer, and a presentation by Art Noxon of ASC.

OK! Enough said! I hope to meet you at one of our events.

Mike

P.S. Audiogon doesn't let you change username, but obviously, I am not in NC any more -- I’m in Portland, Oregon.

Hello, I'm Chris (not Ricky, that was something a cousin of mine used to yell). I Moved to Grants Pass last year. Don't know how often I'd get to Portland, but I'm glad to know there may be online events now and then, and that there is an actual audiophile group.
