Another interested party here, in Burlington, WI.  Add me to the list of Ultra Fidelis fans, Jon Spelt is a true ambassador of high quality audio, a dyed-in-the-wool music lover, and a genuinely nice guy to boot.  His patient demeanor and deep knowledge of all things audio set him apart in many ways and I am very grateful that I met him during my nascent years in this hobby.

August 2023

I have about a dozen friends who regularly get together for listening sessions.

Most have modest 2 channel setups, But a few have what you would call.

All out assault audio systems, 3,200 watt 4 way active. You know the type.

Including a few audio designers and builders.

Most can be found on sites like.

Audio Karma.

Steve Hoffman.

Super Best Audio Friends.

Audiogon.

We have been looking for a larger venue 20 to 40 people to hold our get togethers at.

Milwaukee or suburbs for a bi-weekly meetup.

If you have some interest DM me and we'll swap emails to make contact.

In the mean time we just keep circulating amongst ourselves.

Keep it real.

I live in NE Illinois and looking for an audio club to join. I was in CAS but had, well I never got any of their emails about meetings. Just not my style.

When I lived in Ann Arbor, MI I belonged to SMAC, the Southeast Michigan Audio Club. There was a meet every month at different members' homes. It was quite enjoyable listening, chatting, eating. Count me in then!

Any group like that?
