Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, audio group.

I have taken the liberty of emailing most if not all of the folks who have replied here. Sounds like we have several in Cincinnatti and Indianapolis area (Greenfield, In.) where I am located. I'm wondering how many can attend a meeting the first weekend in Feb. 2007 say on a Saturday. I would suspect not everyone would be able to attend but hopefully everyone will be able to attend some of the meets. Perhaps we could start out w/ quarterly or semi-annual meetings. What does everyone think? Any ideas for an agenda, meeting place etc... Anyone have a idea for a name for our club such as Club Cinn/Indy? Is anyone familiar with operating a club of this nature that would be willing to start out the first session? Anyone know another member that would be willing to help us at least organize our club? Anyone know if these meetings are held at a members home or do we need to pitch in for a conference area at a motel or something? I'm sure if we can just get together for the first time we would be able to establish a preferred meeting critera that would appeal to most everyone. Please respond at your earliest convenience?

Hello all,
Apologies for my delayed response; the past two months have been rather hectic... In response to Fathertime's considerations, one Saturday in the first quarter of the year would probably be a good target- where and when to be determined.

Here's where I am in this hobby: I've assembled several systems from 1976-1992 that represent what I would have owned in junior high school through grad school had I had the money. These comprise TOTL Kenwood, Harman/Kardon, and NAD separates powering period american-made speakers, mostly JBL, Spica, and Klipsch. Judging by my past history of collecting vintage japanese motorcycles, I will experiment with the above until the limits of utility and storage space are reached, then move toward a modern, mostly domestic/european high-end system or two that will be keepers. I'm going in two directions: Tubes and horns or electrostats for an all-analog system, and a solid-state digital system driving omnidirectionals for entertaining. If you're hearing things like VPI, Prima Luna, Quad, Klipschorn, Ohm Walsh, Portal Paladin, etc., you're hearing what I'm currently thinking about.

I did not mean to trash HT or multichannel-- my wife leans this way and I can always learn something in preparation... I'm just old school in my approach to hobbies (e.g. I'm down to one air-cooled motorbike with carbs)-- the rest of life is complex enough.

Let's find out how many of us have similar goals and interests.
Best,
Morgenholz

I live in Plymouth Indiana and would be interested in joining your group let me know how I can get involved.

Hello, my name is Tom and I am a friend of Alexc, the guy who started this thread. I live in Loveland, Ohio (a northern suburb of Cincinnati). I hope we are able to get together for some listening sometime. I am not good with logistics of getting everyone together though.

My system consists of the following:

Supratek Cortese tube preamp
Berning ZH270 power amp
VPI Aries 2 extended TT with JMW 12.5 arm and ZYX Yatra cartridge
Sony SCD-1 SACD player with VSEI mods
Gallo Nucleus Reference 2 speakers
Harmonic Technology Pro-11 speaker cable
Granite Audio, Transparent Audio, and VPI IC's

Look me up if you are going to be near Loveland.

Sorry, I was thinking of another post that Alex started about any Cincinnati audiophiles. I did not realize another had started up.
