In house table setup in Colorado Springs?
Once you’re done, I’d love to come out and give it a listen! I’ll bring the bourbon.

Impressive recommendations from clients indeed. I like the idea of using an objective approach (actual measurements) and subjective (listening). And it looks that he has been all over the world doing this. Thanks for sharing! |

Wow, this is intense. I had no idea there were people out there that offered that kind of in depth service. Maybe one day I'd spring for this but currently I don't have the ideal room or speakers.
I contacted the Colorado Audiophile Society and they offered to come out. Apparently, they are a group of Audiophiles who are responsible for setting up the most recent Rocky Mountain Audio Festival. Seems like a good group. I also spoke to a guy in Denver who knew VPI in and out. He somewhat blew me off. I offered him $50 each way for gas, and $100 / hr with a two hour minimum. Basically told me it wasn't worth his time. I am an advanced practice nurse in the OR and I don't even make that! Maybe Im lowballing him and don't realize it but I thought it was more than reasonable. All I know is Im sitting here with his glorious beast, like a Playboy in cellophane, and its killing me....

Just as a point of reference I think your offer to the guy in Denver was quite reasonable.

^ agreed. If I was local to you I would do it as a courtesy to a fellow AA member.

Yes. He calls it RoomPlay. I know that he has helped others from a different website so I suggest that you contact him directly. He has also provided remote assistance to some folks. His website is www.getbettersound.com |

Congrats on asking for help. Most people don’t, and their setups are not optimized as a result.
Sounds like the Colorado Audiophile Society is a good bet. Ask them if they have a Fozgometer or similar device for setting azimuth and the associated test records. If they can’t help you I live in Salida and have a lot of experience with TT setup. Tom

My understanding is that Jim Smith is great but Stirling Trayle can bring things to an even higher level. If I was going to fly someone out, I would go with the best of the best.
