Welcome CoryS06 . The old gear is the best . Nothing sounds quite like them .
Hey I'm new on here and I've lived in Indy all my life. Just started using my father's old Marantz stereo system from the 80s this year and I'm hooked. I just ordered a new power amp to improve my system and I can't wait to improve it with better gear. I'm always willing to talk to others about this type of stuff.

Thanks for the reply Luka. I've got a couple of record stores near me that I have yet to visit - maybe I'll find something there as you suggest. I Don't know of any technicians in the area yet, but I have noticed that there is a shop called Brownsburg Guitar (in Brownsburg) who has a bunch of vintage amplifiers posted on Craisglist for sale - maybe they would be of help? Just search for "vintage stereo record players" and you'll fined them. (I have never contacted them, just saw their postings on C-List.)
Didn't check prices. It was a black Friday day. Busy in there but cool stuff.Yeah I was in there 2 weeks ago looking around and asking questions. a lot of great stuff in there but most of it, way out my price range.
Google hasnt changed us yet, but Getchell Amplifier Co is my shop feel free to check out Getchell Amplifiers on Facebook too. Peddling one's own business on here is frowned upon so I try not to self promote I'm a hobbyist as well as a part of this community...of you ever need help with anything feel free to message me!
I'd be more than willing to host such an event at our shop! As it is, a small local group of audiophiles and vintage audio collectors get together in the brownsburg area every month or so for show and tell and listening to music and different systems, it's a blast!Many of us start out the same way. Mine was my Uncle's Fisher 800B that he bought new back in 1962. My interest got sparked again when my brother gave me a beat up Marantz 2245 about 5 years ago.
I haven't put much effort in searching for an audio club here in Indy, but hopefully one will pop up. Organizing and hosting one is a lot of work - the RCA Club in San Antonio took a lot of effort on the part of quite a few people to keep it going. We would hold the club meetings in a local A/V store, plus folks would host smaller events at their homes.

The "events" are more informal/casual fun meets, rather loosely organized...this IS all about fun, right? I know sometimes people are a little leery of meeting new people in their own home, our shop is a great place to meet up and socialize first though.
i am in fishers and would love to hear some nice systems. ovation audio was at one time a great dealer but they are under new owners and regrouping i hear. i think indy is a bit slow for this stuff imo.
You can count me in if there one that starts ups. I'm in New Haven, IN.Hey gguillot,
Seems like I'm a Little late to the party but has anything become of this? I live in Fort Wayne Indiana (about 2hrs north of Indy) and I am very interested in finding or starting a club for like minded individuals to get together and hangout.
