I seldom post here because this is the North Texas Audio Jam and I'm in South Texas, but there's quite a bit of audio activity in the large metropolitan areas to the South that are going unreported on AC. A couple of examples: the Houston Audio Society's next regularly scheduled meeting, in January, will feature an audition of the VPI Classic turntable with a Sutherland phono preamp, the Plinius Traturo preamp and SA-103 class A power amp driving Selah Audio line arrays. A San Antonio audiophile is interested in starting a high end audio club in that city and was visiting Houston Audio Society members yesterday to get some tips about starting a club, etc.

I would propose a South Texas Audio Circle, but Dallas / Fort Worth is so close (in Texas miles) that it seems redundant to have two Texas circles. So my question is: Are NTAJ readers interested in activities in San Antonio, Austin and Houston?

Hi Fred

I am in Austin and definitely interested in San Antonio events. I am on the Houston Audio Society list but am generally unable  to make their gatherings, though they seem the most active of the Texas groups. We had some action in Austin a year or so back but it's been quiet since. An Austin-San Antonio group might be a worthwhile combo --- Dallas and Houston are just far enough away to make their events a trek for me and, I am sure, others. The point really is that Texas, being so much larger than most other states, is in need of more than one regional club.

Best

Fred- I can't seem to remember our friend's name in San Antonio in my current state of affairs, but perhaps you can.  Please tell our inquistive fellow.  We know he is agreeable.

talk to Art, how about changing the name to "The Lone Star Sate Audio Jam"
