The San Diego Area Audio Group (SDAAG) is dedicated to bringing people together who enjoy a wide range of music and high end audio. There are no dues required. Members choose a date and time to "host" meetings in their homes. Those members wishing to attend bring favorite recordings for the listening session providing the opportunity for exposure to different types of music on an unfamiliar system. The geographic area served by SDAAG is primarily San Diego County including Downtown, but member location is only limited to where members are willing to travel for a meeting. There is no web site currently available. There are plans to create an "internet meeting place" at which members can exchange ideas on a daily basis at Yahoo Groups. Special events or field trips to audio shows are arranged by members interested in doing so.

Meetings are held as often as presenters are scheduled and that can vary from none to two in a given month. We often meet at a high-end stereo store and sometimes hold joint meetings with other audio societies. Presently there are no dues but a small fee may be collected at the door. Meeting details including any fees are emailed to members. Anyone who has even a passing interest in any matters audio fidelity and music are welcome.

The San Diego Music and Audio Guild (SDMAG) was formed in the fall of 1992. Our objective is to present talks, auditions, or performances of interest to audio hobbyists, as well as to provide a friendly atmosphere to meet others with like interests. Guest presentations are made by designers, manufacturers, retailers, reviewers, or performers. An attempt is made to include music related programs in addition to those on audio components. We are quite informal so all meetings are casual. Beverages are served. Approximately 130 Guild members are registered on our mailing list.

Meetings are generally held the fourth Wednesday of the month at 6 PM, although this varies to accommodate guest presenter availability. For example, some meetings are held on Saturdays. Rather than annual dues, a small contribution is collected at each meeting. For notification of the next meeting, to be placed on the mailing list, or to inquire about making a presentation to the SDMAG, please send your request and appropriate information to the listed E-mail address. Anyone from newbie to old pro audio hobbyists are welcome.

In general terms, we are a bunch of Hi-Fi enthusiasts with particular interest in the finest musical reproduction: "High-End Audio". For some of us, that means the best for a given price range or for a given technology. Others focus on the absolute best--regardless of whether we can afford it. At this time, we are fairly evenly distributed among software oriented "Music Lovers", hardware engineering "Objectivists", and "Subjective Review" fans. Most of us are a little of each. We have in our midst tube-lovers, vinylphiles, and proponents of digital reproduction. Mostly, we congregate to talk audio and audition the broadest variety of music and equipment that we can. Our membership is spread along the front range of the Colorado Rockies--from Longmont to Boulder and Denver to Colorado Springs.

The society meets on a bi-monthly schedule year round ending with a Christmas social held in early December. Meetings are generally held on Saturday afternoons at a member's home, usually located south of Hartford.

Audiophiles interested in more information about the Connecticut Audio Society can write to the society e-mail address or call the society contact person at 860-745-5937 evenings.
