Happy New Year from the LVAC
From all of us here at the LVAC; have
yourselves a safe and fun filled New Year's! Be sure to have good
food and drink, and get those systems rockin' in the New Year! You know
we will! 2014 was a great year for us here at the LVAC; we celebrated our 1 year anniversary among other things. However, 2015 looks to be an even more exciting year for the audio industry, for
audiophiles, and therefore, for the LVAC. We look for the club to grow
and expand, to have more special events, and enrich the lives of more audiophiles in the Las Vegas
(and beyond) area. There will be some incredible and innovative products
at CES here in Las Vegas, which is right around the corner (Jan 6th-9th, 2015.) A number of us will be at the show, so feel free to
come up and say hello. We are also going to attempt to include photos of
some of the great gear at CES here in this blog. We did it last year, so why not for 2015? Stay tuned.

Our Thirteenth meeting and 1 year anniversary.
Ok, fellow audiophiles in the Las Vegas area and everywhere really (this is the world wide web after all,) the first audio club ever in Sin City, has now completed its thirteenth meeting and celebrated its 1 year anniversary!
We had our thirteenth meeting on 8-16-14.
For a list of equipment, check out our last blog post here:
http://lasvegasaudioclub.blogspot.com/2014/07/august-meeting-place-and-time-set.html
First, some words about our 1 year anniversary. This has truly been a labor of love over the past year. We had no idea the club would last this long, and grow like it has. It is truly surprising and is a humbling experience. It is because of dedicated audiophiles like the LVAC members, and even those who aren't members that have supported us, that have made this club a reality. So, we made it, and let's hope we can make it for yet another year. The way it's going, it is thus assured. So a big thanks to all of our members, industry people, and dealers who have hosted meetings and have supported us in general. Viva Las Vegas Audio Club!
Now the meeting; the meeting took place at LVAC member Mike's place. This was Mike's first time hosting. You couldn't tell by the way Mike presented. He was like an old pro. 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 looking components put out a sound that was on a par with today's top stuff. It was dynamic, transparent, and had the old reach out and touch quality. The Apogee speakers imaged like crazy, and the ribbon tweeters made percussion instruments like cymbals and cowbells sound very realistic indeed. The bass was deep and tight courtesy of the twin 10" woofers per channel in the Apogee Grands. So, i was a very enjoyable experience to say the least, and all genres of music were played, from classical to rock to blues to jazz. The sound was so good that we went overtime in the meeting. Which rarely happens. All in all a very successful meeting, and the food Mike provided (chile verde, rice, cheese pizza, unlimited beverages, and last but not least, a huge anniversary cake) 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!
So, if any of you wish to join the LVAC and get in on all the fun, email us at dave_a_2005@hotmail.com or motorcitydeadman@gmail.com
It's still free to join at this time, but that won't last long, so join now!

Our Ninth Meeting
Ok, fellow audiophiles in the Las Vegas area and everywhere really (this is the world wide web after all,) the first audio club ever in Sin City, has now completed its ninth meeting!
We had our ninth meeting 2 Saturdays ago, (which was 4-19-14)
This time LVAC member Tony (who hosted our fourth meeting) once again hosted the affair, with his excellent 2 channel system.
We had a wonderful time listening to a variety of tunes (via digital server, reel to reel tape, CD and LP) on Tony's system. The system had plenty of that good ol' "midrange magic," which you would have to hear to know what I'm talkin' about! It was mesmerizing and grabbed your attention completely. Gourmet pizza and beer was served, and it really was good times once again. Kudos to Tony for such a top notch presentation!
Right now we have 12 members, and we're looking for a few more good audiophiles in the Vegas area and beyond.
Again, meetings will be once a month.
So, don't be shy, we'd love to have you for the next meeting, and as of now it's still free to join!
Any questions? email us at: dave_a_2005@hotmail.com or motorcitydeadman@gmail.com
Photos of the system are below. Photos were taken by Tony.
The system was the same as the fourth meeting.
Link: http://lasvegasaudioclub.blogspot.com/2013/11/our-fourth-meeting.html
There are some slight changes to the system which Tony will elaborate on. Visual evidence is below.
"Set up remains basically unchanged from last meeting. Latest update is a wired Ethernet networked computer audio set up. First photo shows the Synology NAS that houses the server software and music folder, the MacMini that streams video, and an Ethernet switch that ties the NAS, MacMini, and Apple Airport Extreme Time Machine router (not pictured) together. Second photo shows the Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center with UPnP/DLNA rendering capabilities that is also wired via Ethernet to the switch. No music software or iTunes or any other pieces to get in the way of streaming the music. Ethernet provides the least path of resistance, especially versus USB. The last photo is the stacked decks that I now use for tape playback and recording."

Component of the week: JBL Synthesis S4700 speakers
At its foundation, the S4700 uses an all-new cast-frame 15-inch woofer (2216Nd) with a powerful dual 3-inch voice coil and neodymium motor structure for outstanding balance with the horn-loaded compression drivers.
Mid- and high-frequencies are reproduced by a pair of titanium diaphragm compression drivers and a single-piece, SonoGlass® dual horn assembly. The 2-inch Aqua-Plas™-coated titanium diaphragm compression driver (175Nd-3) is mated to a 90° x 60° Bi-Radial® horn and delivers mid- and high-frequencies with lifelike dynamics and startling realism while an ultra-high frequency 0.75-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver (138Nd) with a 60° x 30° Bi-Radial horn recreates critical air and spaciousness.
Premium-quality network components and dual binding post inputs ensure audiophile performance in any application.
The attractive furniture-grade cherry wood veneer enclosure is internally braced at critical points and is tuned via a rear-firing port.
The S4700 is intended for use in high-performance 2-channel audio systems or as an LCR loudspeaker in a JBL Synthesis multi-channel home theater installation.
Price: $15000 USD
