GAS Invades St Louis Stereo

Scott F. · « **on:** 6 Feb 2011, 10:06 pm »

Hiya Guys,

I'm not sure if you saw the series of posts over in another thread but Mike Pranka (Dynavector, Well Tempered Labs and now St Louis Stereo) has graciously invited us to all come down to his new storefront down in the Loft District downtown.

If you weren't aware, Mike carries some really cool gear that many probably haven't heard. Here's what he's got;

ELECTRONICS Audio Research, Naim, Leben, Dynavector, Pure Sound, Parasound

LOUDSPEAKERS Vandersteen, Devore Fidelity, Harbeth, Kudos, Totem, Auditorium23 Solovox

ANALOG Well Tempered Lab, Dynavector, EMT, Cartridge Man

DIGITAL Naim, Audio Research

CABLES Auditorium23, Totem, Acoustic Revive

ACCESSORIES Box Company, Skylan, Wayne Taylor Loudspeaker Stands, Acoustic Revive

Here's a link to his shop; St Louis Stereo

So, Since daves is having his local gathering on 2/19 I thought it would be good to wait a few more weeks to descend on Mikes shop. I was thinking Saturday March 12th or the 19th. Which works best for you guys?

Hey Mike, do these dates work with your schedule?

I have tentative plans to be in STL on one of those March dates. I'll be in for a random visit, so I would likely be able to make this.

Ohh..., I just caught the other thread.
If y'all wanna carpool, I can carry 8 in my luxury land yacht.
If anybody from south/west wants to ride along, I'm in 63051.

Right now, both of those dates are open for me, and I would like to drive up to St. Louis to meet y'all there. I might even be able to drag along another chap or two! Din

Both are great for me. Sounds like a great day.

daves · « **Reply #6 on:** 7 Feb 2011, 01:11 am »

I'll be in for it, as long as it is after 11;300 am on either Saturday.

I may be interested too. Hey Hammer, do they make half yamakas?

Out of town both of those days. Too bad. Would be nice to meet a few more STL music lovers.

Hey Guys,

I just talked to Mike and he's good with both of those dates. I think he's going to chime in with times.

We'll give the thread another couple of days and firm up which date we'll go with.

I'm up for it as long as the social director doesn't have other plans that I don't know about yet.

Either day works for me!

steve k · « **Reply #13 on:** 7 Feb 2011, 07:33 pm »

Both days sound good to me. Looking forward to it!

Hey Guys,

Just talked to Mike and confirmed the date.

We'll be descending on his shop Saturday March 19th from 12:00 to 5:00. Here is the address;

St Louis Stereo
2020 Washington Ave
St Louis, MO 63103

The shop is on the 3rd Floor of the 8 story building. It sounds as if we need to be [physically] let into the building so I'd look for a buzzer at the door. This might be wishful thinking but if people could ride together that would save Mike's legs running up and down the steps. I'll be driving down so if anybody wants to ride with, let me know. I'll be making a quick stop on The Hill before we get there (think cannolis)

Just a quick head count, it looks like there are 10 maybe 11 guys going so far.

I can make it. If necessary I can meet someone along 44 to carpool.

BUMP!

just in case some of the guys haven't seen this thread.

Cardinals · « **Reply #17 on:** 25 Feb 2011, 01:32 am »

I will try to make it there on March 19th as well. I want to see some of ARC's new gear (not to mention the other brands) they have there.

gooberdude · « **Reply #18 on:** 1 Mar 2011, 04:35 am »

Put me on the list as well.

I'll be coming from the east side if anyone needs a lift...fairview heights.

New Audiocircle member from St. Louis- I will try to attend, may have to work. The Devore/Leben gear sounds great!
