We have a variety of systems built around both planar and coil speakers. We are helpful, friendly, and informal. Please feel free to email me if interested.

Hey Tabl10s, I haven't been to Rainbow Electronics just yet, but this Guy who owns' this shop makes some Killer looking Tube amps, have you seen the Shoreline amps he builds, they look quite expensive.
I saw the "baby" versions at a show a few years back. The big ones are 800w@$100k.
Not sure if Tim still does repairs but you can contact him here. http://www.classicaudio.com/
Hello, The Sierra Nevada Audiophile Society is having their Christmas party on December 8th in Sacramento. All interested audio nuts are welcome to attend. Contact Keith Mundy at [email protected] if you would like more information and directions to the party.
Thanks for the invite, but i have relocated to the Oklahoma City area. Have a great time. Buy audio gifts, thier a sound investment.
Does anyone in Sacramento have a preferrence between Rainbow Electronics or StereoAdvisor for repair of a McCormack DNA-1?

I lost the left channnel when moving the plugs around in my system and accidentally did something while the amp was plugged into the outlet. The fuses didn't blow, I checked all 4.

Many thanks to anyone who has opinions/experiences or another recommended repair place.

Was a club ever formed in the Sacramento area? I live in the SF Bay area and would have an interest in joining if one has formed. Please send me an email if a club exists. Thanks.
I also have an interest in joining a club in Sacramento. I've never belonged to such a club, so I don't know what kind of rites, hazings, or oaths are involved.

Seriously, perhaps we could start one TonyKay. I'd especially be interested in having a few people come over to my house with their pre-amps and we could listen to the differences of each.

Tom,

I live in Sacramento. There is a club--Sierra Nevada Audiophile Society. The website may not be up to date but here is the link. http://sierranevadaaudiophilesociety.com/

I also know a local technician who might be able to repair your McCormack. My friends and I all use him.

I cannot find a way to send you a private email with my contact information. If I could, I would hook you up with the Audiophile Society president and the technician. I do not want to post their (or my) information publically.
Thank you, Don. I rec'd your email yesterday and want you to know I'll contact you soon; hopefully today or Friday if I can get the time.

In the meantime, I rec'd an e-mail from Steve McCormack who normally doesn't do repair work. However, because I have a modded "Rev. A" version he wants to help me repair it. I really appreciate people like Steve who go the extra mile to ensure their customers are happy.
The Sierra Nevada Audiophile Society is alive and well in Sacramento and the outlying areas! and has been for many years now. We always welcome new members, so if you live in Sacramento or anywhere near Sac please come check out the club. Check out our new website too. There's no big commitment to join the club, just come when you can. We have a lot of great guest speakers, field trips and interesting club members.

On Saturday, 10/17/15 at 11 AM, Robert Lee, The Man behind Acoustic Zen, will be in Sacramento at one of our member's homes showing/playing his Crescendo MK2 speakers and his cables.

All are welcome to come. We are starting the presentation at 11 AM. Call Keith Mundy at (916) 416-5638 for further information - address, etc...

Hi,

Saw this  Audio Club in the Sac area. When getting ready to

list  ARC AMP  I'm not using. I used to lived in the central valley years past. Visalia.

Back at the time when Richard was quitting his truck driving job. To start-up Vendersteen Audio. He rented small bldg in Hanford.

The rest is history. We had a Club there. Gone thur a lot of different stuff

over the years. From Altec Horns/Double Quads/Sound Labs/ Hiels,etc..

the list goes on. But until now. I didn't know there's active audio club here.

Would be interested in hearing more about it.

Hey, I'm in Tracy, which is about 1.5 hours directly south of Sac.  I'd be willing to meet local audiophiles.
