North Carolina anyone?

Welcome to the madness! :crazy:

Unfortunately, I live west of Charlotte, so not close to you at all.
 
I went to one I believe was in north Winston-Salem back in February. I think they did another back on May 11. Not sure if they have had one since then.

What are you interested in?

Hi,
I am new to vintage audio and am looking to start building my audio collection. I have just recently purchased a Sansui G-6700 and SE-9 and have been bitten by the bug. Interested in acquiring other vintage components (e.g., amps, turntable, tuners, receivers, etc.) and learning about their respective features/functions that produce their unique sounds. I had forgotten what music should sound like, as it did back in the 70's and early 80's when it was played on the high-powered receivers/amps and huge speakers!

Not just in the 80s. My ML electrostats are >5' high and are driven by a pair of essentially noise and distortion free 518W/Ch into 4 ohms Benchmark AHB2 amps (in mono mode).

Hi folks, Brian here from Asheboro (work in Chapel Hill). I am new to the hobby and am hoping to learn a few things. Would love to meet up with anyone close by.

I live in Pittsboro, and I do not envy your commute from Asheboro to Chapel Hill. My wife works at UNC, and I was brought here by a bicycle company based out of Chapel Hill (RIP).

My current system is the product of evolution. I always like talking about audio equipment (or bicycle equipment).

I pass through Pittsboro when I go into the office (I work for UNC also) but I primarily work from home. I've just recently purchased a vintage system (80's receiver and eq) and am looking to acquire other vintage components (turntable - can't believe how pricey they are!). Love the power and the quality of the old systems, wish they still made this stuff today!
 
There are a couple of collectors in Chatham County with a lot of knowledge. Hopefully they are following this thread.

Just saw this thread.. I’m in Cary. Is everyone more of vintage equipment folks or new?
Click to expand...

I spend a lot of most of my days in Cary -- I also grew up there, moved away, and moved back to the area. I don't know if my setup is vintage or not with work done here and there. I have had a number of pieces move through.
 
Hi all ... haven’t posted to this thread in a while ... had moved to New Bern just in time for Florence :( but mostly resettled now.
Please add to mailing list if there is one ... travel a lot anyway so driving mid-state for a meet not a big deal.
Also happy to host next year if anyone willing to head east.
 
I live in VA on the VA/NC border, about 1/2 way between Roanoke VA and Winston Salem NC. Travel ain't a problem.

Don't get me wrong Underdog is a fine record store, but if I were in Greensboro I would be going to Hippo Records.... Just sayin'. That place is awesome!

Hippo is the cream of the crop out of all the record shops I visit. Earshot is second. Vintage Audio Exchange is a GREAT place to find vintage equipment.

Roanoke, VA-The Vintage Vault

Salem VA-Uptown Audio

Winston Salem, NC-Earshot & Underdog

Jamestown, NC-Vintage Audio Exchange

Greensboro, NC-Buffalo Boogie & Hippo


Hey Blueglow, I just realized that I sent you an email recently (Youtube). Small world.....

Hey all, I haven't signed in in a while.... I live in Cary and I am looking for someone reputable to go thru and my B&K 442 EX Sonata power amp and also an Adcom GFP 750. Have them recapped and pots cleaned and biased, etc. I've had them since the early 90's, I guessing, and they have never had any work done before. Mark from Blueglow did repair an H/K 330C a coulple of years ago that is up on his site (a two part video), but I understand he is still not taking on new work at this time. So if anyone can recommend a shop or someone they know who is a worthy tinkerer, I would greatly appreciate it.
