Philadelphia area audio club?

My belated thanks to Dan for a wonderful afternoon of music and friends last month. Also, my thanks in advance to Rush for hosting this coming Sunday. Looking forward to getting together again to talk music and system, and discover new music; well, music new to me anyway. Thanks again, Jim

Hi,

I'm interested in joining an audio club. Although I live 50 miles northwest of Phila, I work in Phila and spend my week there. My system consists of a Sonograph SD-1 for CD and a Rega Planar 2 W/ a Grado Reference Platinum cartridge and an Audio Alchemy VAC in the Box phono preamp for vinyl. A Conrad Johnson PV-8 preamp and two Golden Tube Audio SE 40's run mono to drive the top end of a pair of Snell A III's and a Adcom GFA 555 to drive the bottom end of the snells. I also have a Creek OBH-11 headphone amp and a pair of Sennheiser HD 570 headphones. I'm currently driving the Snells with the Adcom as I'm having trouble with the GTA's. I'm looking for someone to fix them and maybe upgrade them. I can be contacted via Audiogon.

I am interested in a possible audio and/or video club in Delaware. I would like to start one at my home if others would like. I live in central Delaware. drbarney1@juno.com is my address. I am also interested in any other activity in Delaware. I use 45 SET amplifiers with dual outputs and electronic filters that circumvent the need for speaker crossovers. I design and build my own amplifiers.
I have nothing against other approaches to sound systems; i.e. push pull amplifiers, horn speakers, and even solid state things.

Rick, we currently meet roughly every other month in the home of one member or another. While most of us live in the greater Philadelphia area, we have some members living further away. In fact, our next meeting is being hosted by a member in the Lancaster area in mid-March, and our last meeting in January was in New Jersey.

Our group is very informal. Generally, folks enjoy the opportunity to get together every other month or so to share conversation, listen to some music and, perhaps, hear someone else's music system. Mostly, we seem to just enjoy getting together with others who enjoy this crazy hobby of ours and for whom talking about audio and music is not a strange foreign language!

Love to have you join us. If you will contact me directly via Audiogon, I'll be happy to get in touch with you with more details. Please include your direct email address and home phone number.

Regards,

Two activities coming up: regular bi-monthly meeting this Sunday, July 18; group trip to Red Trumpet in York, PA, at the end of July. If you're anywhere in the area and have an interest in participating with us, drop me a note.
