Milwaukee, Wisconsin Area


I know we have many Milwaukee area Audiogoners, including several fine dealers. Is anyone interested in starting an Audio Club in Southwest Wisconsin? My interest is strictly 2 channel. It would be great to share our usually solitary hobby with fellow enthusiasts of music and equipment. If interested, please email me at spella@sbcglobal.net.

I am in Milwaukee... and would keep an eye open for any audio club to form.

Chris,
Good to hear from you. i'm a bit surprised that I haven't heard from more audiophiles through Audiogon. I've received one other email. Any suggestions to get the word out? I was thinking I would ask our local retailers to participate. What do you think?

I joined the forums at NEWAS and seem to have found a decent group of Wisco audiophiles there- I think that i will probably join the Chicago Audio Society and be set from there... I think the size of the city really matters as audiophiles seem fairly few and far between these days. You should join NEWAS too...

@papermill and chris: I am a two channel guy in Milwaukee with new-ish Rega and vintage Sansui gear. Would be pleased to join should we get some critical mass...
Heya guys- I'd still be open to seeing if enough other folks would be interested... Until then, I've been working on the weekends at a shop in Wauwatosa that sells sine really nice gear. On the road for work this week- but will be there most Saturdays to chat audio if you feel like stopping by. Shop is Ultra Fidelis- www.ultrafi.com

Maybe I'll see ya there...

Chris
Folks,
... and then there were three...!
Plresults - thanks for your note.
I'm very familiar with Ultra Fidelis as I've purchased various items throughout these many years. Maybe we might meet and determine if, and how, we want to proceed. Chris, I'll plan on stopping by this weekend and say hello.

I might be interested as well. Relatively new to the area and off to a slow start finding much of an audiophile community. I'm a VPI, Aesthetix, Mcintosh & Magico guy.
And now four, it seems. The club mentioned in the stream above seems a bit inactive and a long distance from Milwaukee ie 2 hours drive. (However the fellow that wrote on their website the bit about using computers as music servers was quite interesting.) Seems like with 1.5 million in metro Milwaukee we can get something started closer to home :-)

Happy to get together once a month or so here in the area. I am a relatively new audiophile newbie, so I have lots to learn. I have two or three friends that might be interested, too -- but they like the A/V/TV stuff, whereas I am more focused on two channel stereo...
Hey Chris,

Good luck at Ultra Fidelis. Jon Spelt is the guy who really got me involved in high end from back in his days in the Chicago area, a really good guy!

Cheers,
Wes
Hi Rob, Yes, I think this is a great idea. Please let me know if you are still interested. Dave
