The Las Vegas Audio Club

Too bad you guys didn't get to hear the Pass amp with an appropriate speaker. I'm still trying to wrap my head around an audio club in Las Vegas where the members get together and drink soda pop. :weird:

Well, the Pres. of Pass Labs, Desmond Harrington said it would be ok to use with the JBLs.

As for the drinks, or lack of them, we wanna be sober when evaluating equipment on demo from manufacturers and/or other members' systems. I don't think being sloppy drunk lends to properly hearing and evaluating the systems.

After that, we might have a few beers or what have you.

I hope that explains it! Have a safe a and happy New Year's!

Apparently Desmond was wrong based on the comments from your listening panel. Too much speaker and not enough amp seemed to be the verdict. This was obviously not a good way to listen to the Pass amp and form any opinions other than it wasn't suited for the JBL speaker used.

Who said anything about getting trashed? After reading about your last two meetings. I just thought you guys were an AA meeting masquerading as an audio club. The last meeting you posted about you guys were sitting outside getting your ears drilled by a PA system while you munched on subs, chips and drank soda. This time you spent hours listening to a hopelessly mismatched amp/speaker combo while munching on pizza and drinking more soda pop. I would have needed a few beers just to dull the pain. :cool:

Does anybody in your club have a good sounding stereo system and enjoys having some drinks with friends? If so, that's where I would be hanging out.

Perhaps regarding the amp.

We're Vegas' only official audio club. We are a legitimate club boasting 20 members thus far. We are listed in Stereophile, and we have had a few of the finest audio companies demo for us. We are far from an AA meeting, and I'm not sure what you're getting at there.

Yes, most do.

Everything I mentioned is in the blog. Take a hard look around instead of a quick glance. The link is below in my signature. Thanks.
 
Dave-I went to your website and unless I'm missing something, I see no links to members and their systems.

Correct, there aren't. The member's systems are only listed under each meeting entry ie "Our tenth meeting," and so on and so forth. Hope this helps. Thanks for looking.

Thanks for your support, we have a strong passion for audio and music. This is of course, reflected in our meetings and in our promotional materials such as the site. And a big thanks to the people who run this board, and the other audio-related boards out there, for allowing us to spread the word! :cool:
