Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?

reubent, 
I like your decision to go with A/E on your purchase. I try to buy from them when possible. I purchased my Levinson amp, Classe' preamp, a few CD players, my studiotech stand and miles of cables through them. I was there Wednesday considering new interconnects for my Ayre cx-7emp. I was thinking Wireworld Eclipse 7, Mark suggested Audioquest or maybe (Cardas)- but really liked AQ best. 
Im gonna sleep on it. But cheers! to supporting your local Hi-FI guy!

Hello everyone,

Pardon my absence from here but, I have very preoccupied with my wife's heart condition which ultimately, 2 months ago, resulted in successful open heart surgery at the Cleveland Clinic followed by many weeks of a rough recovery.  I have been very busy writing in news groups for ICDs (pacemakers with a built in defibrillator) and HCM (a genetic heart condition disease).  She was hammered by the defibrillator 26 times and I shared 6 of those hits while holding her and calling 911.  Rather like holding onto an electric horse fence.

I'd like to address the downsizing of my store, Audible Elegance, in Cincinnati while I ran an operation here in Salt Lake City as well as a horse farm.  The actual demonstration area was reduced by no more than 20%. The truth of the matter is that so many customers have been buying on line, Amazon and such, that continuing to use that much space really did not make good business sense.  Combine that with an offer to buy me out of that space so another tenant could rent that whole old building simply made it an obvious choice.

I will be returning permanently to the east, in the near future, and I am sure everyone will enjoy the continuing changes that are now underway, particularly for the audio enthusiast. 

Happy Listening to all.   Thank you,

Lou

Hey Cincinnati! Anyone still out there, Alive and kickin'? 

Hey reubent!

Still here in Cin-city. Havn’t been to Audible Elegance in quite some time. Made a few calls and asked a few questions. Mark, as usual offered sage and honest advice.

I hear they may have some competition locally. Have you visited Hansen Audio?

PS sorry I missed your pm earlier last month.

Hey @nutty 

I know you're still here! I see you on the music threads all the time ;~)

I was in Audible Elegance a couple of weeks ago. Talked with Mark and Brian about Bluesound Node 2i and Roon. One of these days I'm actually going to get a music server, rip all of my CDs and get Tidal. One of these days.........

I have not been to the Hanson Audio Store in Cincinnati, but I have been to their store up in Dayton. One of these days I'll check out the local store.  But I'm not much of an equipment consumer anymore. I just happily listen to music on the modest system I have now, which hasn't changed in a couple of years.

I do frequent Plaid Room Records on a regular basis. Great guys who have built a really nice business in a short amount of time.
