I want to start a SF Bay/San Jose/Monterey club.

Check out the Bay Area Audiophile Society

Tok2000, if I were still in San Rafael, I'd join your club. You think it's bad there, you should try this hobby in Kansas City.

BTW, I did see your last posting in the Ayre K3-x thread and thanks for the compliment. I was preparing a nice response when I noticed the thread had been deleted. Hmmmm?

And no I had not listened to your amp. But from what I recall, the reviewers all pretty much see it as an excellent performer.
