October meeting place and time set *rescheduled*

Ok, fellow audiophiles from Las Vegas (and Southern Nevada in general,) we have determined where and when our next meeting will be at! Below are the details and whatnot. Thanks as always for looking.

The October LVAC meeting will be rescheduled from Sunday, 10-18-15 from 2-5 pm PST to Sunday, 10-25-15 from 2-5 pm PST. The meeting will still be held at the latest (and greatest?) high end audio store here in Las Vegas, Audio Visual Solutions! Greg, the store manager, will give the club a guided tour of the establishment and all of the wonderful sights and sounds therein. He will also be speaking to the club as well about various audio-related topics.

The major lines they carry are McIntosh (Platinum Dealer) Monitor Audio, Krell, Sonus Faber, PS Audio, Sony (Audio and TVs), Klipsch, Jamo, Pioneer Elite, Yamaha, Integra, Onkyo, Control4, Salamander Designs and many others. They are considering other major lines to represent. Quite a heavy hitting lineup to say the least!

Greg will also provide refreshments as par for the course.

This is a special event, so don't miss this! Be there or be square, as they say.

To get an idea of what their systems are like, please view the photos below.

Our Fourteenth meeting

Ok, fellow audiophiles in the Las Vegas area and everywhere really (this is the world wide web after all,) the first official audio club ever in Sin City, has now completed its fourteenth meeting.

We had our fourteenth meeting on 10-18-14.

For a list of equipment, check out our last blog post here:

The meeting took place at LVAC member Todd's place. This was Todd's first time hosting. You couldn't tell by the way Todd presented. He was very professional. And as you can see in the list of equipment via the link above, most of his components are vintage. You can't judge book by it's cover, and the vintage components put out a sound that was on a par with today's top stuff. It was dynamic, transparent, and had a visceral quality. Interestingly enough, more members preferred the oldie but goodie Klipsches (with Velodyne subwoofer) to the new flashy JBLs. Of course it was apples to oranges, but the fact remained, the modified Klipsches were the clear winner here. So, it was a very enjoyable experience to say the least, and most genres of music were played, leaning heavily towards classic jazz from the Blue Note and Atlantic labels. Overall a very successful meeting, and the food Todd provided (pizza and wings) was nothing short of excellent. So basically, once again good times were had by all. No one was disappointed. And that's the way it should be! That's how we roll here at the LVAC!
