For 2024, we are planning on adding more specialized but smaller focused events centered around Lifetime Members, but open to all if space allows, that educates and provides access to experts in audio and the production of recorded music.

General monthly events are also planned. We cover all interests including the latest and newest equipment, top mods to improve stock components, latest in amateur and professional recording techniques, and the most exciting personal listening gear.  We also visit regional manufacturers and introduce you to the most knowledgeable audiophiles in America! 

If you are an audio enthusiast and want the best insights into the world of both digital and analog sound, we should be at the top of your list. Our very reasonable annual dues assure you a great time and great fellowship as you learn about both the best bargains and most extravagant gear in the world.

Don’t miss out! Come join us at our next Event as our guest! New Members and Guests Most Welcome!
