The September 2013 meeting of the Sydney Audio Club sees us once again at Dence Park for an afternoon of fine music and sound and convivial company. Each month, the Sydney Audio Club presents the finest in high end audio systems for our members and guests. It's a bit like a private audio show once a month where you can hear and discuss equipment that you might not otherwise have the chance to audition. And you can bring along your own music to test the capabilities of the system or to just share with like-minded music lovers in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. This month we will feature a complete system from Sydney HiFi Castle Hill (refer to http://www.castlehillhifi.com.au/), courtesy of consultants Goran Sasic and Chris Strom from distributor Radiance AV (refer to http://www.radianceav.com.au/). The system will represent an affordable high-end system in an attractive price range. Goran or Chris will give a brief presentation and will be available to answer any questions. The equipment will be: Unison Research Unico Primo amp (http://www.castlehil....au/prod829.htm). 80wpc, 1 x ECC83 (12AX7) in input stage, MOSFET output stage.

The second half of the music sessions will be our popular BYO. Members and guests are welcome to offer music to share with us all. So bring along your favourite music on CD or vinyl (sorry, we will not be able to play flash drives this month). All we ask is that the music and recordings be interesting. We'll ask you to tell us a little about the artist/recording before it is played. Tracks over 6 minutes will be faded out, to give everyone a fair go. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned veteran, you will have the opportunity to listen, learn and share your experiences with others of a similar mind. Members and guests welcome – we are a very friendly club so you don't need to know anyone to join us for an afternoon of fine music and sound. We will welcome you at the door.
