Post by: pix4work on 26 Nov 2013, 10:11 pm
Are there any audiophiles in the Middle-Tennessee-Nashville area who would like to get together periodically and listen to gear?

I'm in Nashville and would be interested. I use tube equipment and enjoy DIY audio projects.

I'm in Brentwood and would be interested as well.  Use solid state equipment, but intrigued about tubes and have a way less than ideal listening space!

We can try to get together after the holidays if you like.  My music taste is all over the place.  rock, americana, folk, classical.  I'm close to Hermitage.

Good to hear from all of you. After the holidays may be the best time to get together. I will try to send a PM out ASAP.

Hello bainjs,

Bringing a thread back from the dead...

Anyone here interested in getting together sometime and comparing gear, listening to records, etc? I'm over in East Nashville.

We've got folks in Indy, Jasper, Lexington. I'm in the middle and always open to hosting GTG's. Have a little experience in that area.

Recognize any of these folks?

No sir but I'd be game to host when things are more 'normal' or at minimum that my family has been vaccinated.

I don't recognize anyone from the photo at first glance.

I don't ever expect normal and I am not personally worried about the beer virus.

Anyways, with his back to you is Dennis Murphy, over his left shoulder is Marc Shifter (formerly AV123 and now Core Power), over Dennis' right shoulder is Jim Salk. On Dennis' left is Sam Zeoli, who solders Salk's crossovers.  Behind Jim is Edman, from Detroit and here on AC. I'm way out in the back in the blue shirt. This is Canton, MI 2007ish.

Oh man you had audio royalty there!  Okay that was way way back and not even close to my local area.  That's great!  last event I was at in Michigan was the last Audiokarma Fest I think in maybe 2013.

The beer virus doesn't concern me but my wife has MS and a low immune system, COVID in my household would be a grave situation.  I'd likely be fine.  One of my friends literally lost his mother and father to COVID in one week flat.

Yeah, after Tom, I had those other audio gurus!

Anyone who is compromised is a concern. I've had 2 employees have it and two employee's spouses have it - all for about 2 days and maybe a slight fever. Pretty mild for those 4 families.

Anyways, we'll have to plan some road trips in 2021.

Reviving an older conversation, however, there is the Nashville Audiophile Society who has been been doing GTG's from time to time. Just regular guys who work and enjoy gear and good music. Check out their FB page under the above name.
