Very Very Interesting NYC Venue and Meeting Place

When an audio dealer, no matter the hours uses the word “ fetish “ to describe tge attraction for some vintage bits, they well understand where the $ is….

Seems like a cool place and dude… wish him well…

I have traveled prior to Covid on quite a few occasions a 400 mile round trip to be able to take part in a activity similar to what is described for a Saturday get together on the Video.

A UK Dealer uses his premises and a selection of his equipment to enable attendees to experience his systems in various configurations, as well as add to the system attendees brought along devices, these can be Commercial Brands, Commercial Brands Modified or Scratch Built DIY Designs, either Kit, Kit Modified or Ones Own Concept for a design. 

The venue offered up is the enabler of individuals to come together.

The Music Encounters to be discovered really add to the experience.

What really is the most important is the attendees, a mixture of those looking to find more and willing to do the foot work and those that have learnt a lot to the point they have taken their interests to becoming a Proprietor of Companies well known for their producing Audio Equipment, occasionally a HiFi Media Reporter makes their entry into the Underworld of all things HiFi.

There is absolutely no reason why OJAS as a venue to meet, can't over time offer the same types of opportunities to meet some very interesting and possibly very inspirational/influential characters.

It is when I see this offer to visit on a Saturday that I felt it should be made known to others, I feel very very sure, if I was to be in NYC over a weekend period, I would be checking in advance to see if this was a place I could be at for a few hours on a Saturday. That would be my longest haul for a Audio Equipment Encounter, coming in at 6500 Miles.

I do have equipment that has been used in my system, as a result of being bought through Classified Ad's that have done half of those miles to be demonstrated in my set up.     

There is no link in your post now. Was it removed?

@bruce19 Hi Bruce, the Link is not a usual link I place, the Youtube Video is the place to find all the info, Enjoy 🍻      

Manhattan used to be replete with audio salons that offered succor to the wandering audiophile, and at one time or another I was in all of them. They were open much more than 5 hours per week. I include Lyric HiFi, Harmony House, Singer, and a few others. This was during the 70s when I was a near penniless med student living in the Bronx. Then in the 80s and 90s those salons either disappeared or became “by appointment only”. I won’t forget walking into Lyric one day long after I’d graduated from med school (and where I had actually purchased speakers) only to be turned away for not having an appointment. Mike Kaye, a consummate gentleman, had sold the business, and it sorely missed his charm and kindness to neophytes, rich or poor.
