Testing interest in NAIM aficionado social event in Portland, OR, USA area.

Posted by: olrac on 26 February 2009

I wasn't sure where to post this or if this type of post is kosher. I live in Beaverton, OR, USA and am a dedicated NAIM enthusiast! I know we have quite a few active forum members in the Portland, OR area. I'm judging interest in a get together at my house for a NAIM social. Check out my system, bring your music, hardware, wine...should be fun & better than an evening in surfing the forum

. If we get enough critical mass, maybe we evolve this into "NAIM club!". I look forward to your feedback here on the forum & seek guidance from our moderators as to how best to contact you to plan a date.

Kind regards,

Paul.

Thanks Stu,

I look forward to hearing from Jeff & Patrick.
I had particpated in an "audiophile" club when in UT a few years back. It was a lot of fun. I hosted a Britsh evening...food, music, hardware & hosts were all British. I think we converted a few that day!

Here's a couple of shots of the system as an incentive...

Regards,

Paul.

Well I was hoping for some bites by now!

Are there any Portland area forum members out there?

Kind regards,

Paul.

Ahhh my home town

But being in the UK now would be difficult. Hope it works out though.

Thanks Tonpub,
I've no idea if I can share my email or physical address here? The "chat" feature doesn't appear active for my forum account. But how about meeting this weekend? A suitably obscure landmark to meet at being Ava's Coffehouse near the Beaverton library.

Kind regards

Paul.

Paul - Just looking at your system pics. Is that a DVD5 there, but no where near a screen - are you just using it for multi channel audio, next to the CDS3 ? Just curious.

By the way, put your email address in your profile if you want people to contact you, seems to be ok with the gaffer from what I have seen. (perhaps put some spaces in the address, so the net robots don't pick it up)

Hi Steve,

Yes, it's a DVD5. Believe it or not, but my rear wall is the screen currently, projector is a Pano AX200U. The wall "screen" does very well, even though its textured & somewhat "green" the image is fine with contrast to match a grey screen, particularly if you like watching M*A*S*H! We've been struggling to justify a screen for 6 months...but yes..next month well be ordering a Carada screen. The DVD5 audio out is "just" stereo which I find more than adequate. As you may know the DVD5 is a quirky SOB....(hit pause again ..ok...now we have sound...here we go). But I love it dearly as the sound & image quality is superb...

Thanks for the profile email tip.

Kind regards,

Paul.
