Sherman Oaks, CA

It's so bizarre to say there is no quality gear there. I host a cook out for LAOCAS every year (I don't think I am this year...for personal reasons a one year break is right)

I look for no biz from it. Its a party. In fact I avoid trying to sell a thing. Cary Audio founder Dennis Had and co-owner Billy Wright flew out from North Carolina just for it. We had a riot.

The group has grown a lot, the head dude, Bob Levy, is a man that I can learn lessons from as he is a BUILDER of things much larger than a club. He works it, but in a giving way....not a taker.

As to quality gear...we had one of three pair of Sonus Faber Strads in North America here. That's not quality?

Veryrichone...

Change your name dude. I have made some decent scratch but one of my hedge fund customers made more in a day that I did last year. Doesn't flaunt it. My #2 rich dude dresses in t-shirts and jeans and tennis shoes. And besides that there are many ways to be rich

That thread is closed. And my comments were unwarranted. On-line (and in the flesh) perceptions are not always what they seem.

Anyway...the LAOCAS is a great club of fine folks. And is heading in a good orderly direction. The #1 thing about it is there are some newbies there

There was a club in the Bay Area (San Francisco)that I spoke at years ago. Many of the guys were never gonna be my customers as they had many DYI/dumpster diver re-build types.

I'll send you a private e-mail about other stuff
