NY Audio Club...
AA Comrades,
I was thinking, as I do from time to time... Are there enough audio enthusiasts in the NY, NJ, CT area that would be interested in developing an audio club? |
Such a good idea, it would be nice to compare our hifi.
Sorry for me, I'm living a long way from new york ! hope you will have success ! |
Greetings-
I was thinking the same thing! I'm in Binghamton NY and I know there are a lot of audiophiles here too, because it is the hometown of McIntosh. I would like to help get one going! Let's do it! Joe |

There was and may still be such a club in the greater NYC area that has been around for decades. Myles might know if they are still in play.

Bump!

Well, we have a bunch of people who are interested.
What are we going to do about it????? |
Drink rum and be merry ...... :)
|
Is someone going to set something up?
|
I'm in Westchester, NY. I'm happy to front run this thing, but I wouldn't know where I start. For a first meeting, we could establish a simple meet and greet over lunch. Maybe share our system components and do a little listening at one person's home. Thoughts?

What's happening with the New York Club? :)

Although I'm far from NY, thought I'd throw out this suggestion for folks in ANY geographic area interested in starting/growing an audio club. I hope I'm not violating any Forum Rules by posting this.
Here, in the Tampa Bay area, we had a small audiophile club, founded in 1994 as the Tampa Bay Listening Society. By 2009, active membership had dwindled to <15, and the future looked bleak. One of our members suggested we look at Meetup (dot com), which was used by a Photography club he belonged to. It looked promising as a growing social website catering to LOCAL clubs/groups sharing a common interest. We renamed our club the Suncoast Audiophile Society (more descriptive) and gave Meetup a spin. Within 3 months we had doubled our active membership, as local audiophiles who previously never even knew we existed discovered us. Today, we have 87 members (~50+ active), and have grown so large that we're now looking for larger venues for our monthly meetings, as few of us can accommodate the typical 30-40+ meeting attendees in our homes. FYI, I have no financial relationship with Meetup, but do believe their platform is ideal for developing and growing an audiophile club. As brick and mortar stores fall by the wayside, I think this approach (combined with regional audio shows) is our best hope for keeping this hobby alive. There are other "group-centric" websites out there, but Meetup (being the first) seems to have the most users, and (at least for us) has worked exceedingly well for recruiting like-minded audio aficionados. Meetup does charge the club a modest monthly (or annual) fee, but that becomes negligible when amortized among all members. I strongly suggest the New York (or other geographic contingents) check it out! Also, once you have a critical mass, post your audio club contact info in the Stereophile listings. |
I am currently in Queens NY.
