RSVP-Only Hi-Fi Listening Event | June 19 | Sacramento, CA

[NorCal_HiFi]

Hi everyone — hope this is the right place for a post like this. We’re hosting a private RSVP-only listening session in Sacramento on the evening of Thursday, June 19.

No fee, but confirmed RSVP is required to keep this a small group. This is the first of our new “Vibe Check” series — each night is limited to a handful of attendees, with a focus on immersive sound and serious gear. No distractions, just music.

Updating with our featured brands in response to a question below: McIntosh, Klipsch, Sonus faber, Marantz, Yamaha, and REL Acoustics.

June's session features 80's vinyl. If you’re nearby and interested, details are here:

Don't live in the area any longer, but what particularly good room and hardware would one be experiencing? It's vinyl nite and you're posting in a subgroup of the home theater hardware hangout....

My apologies if this isn't the appropriate space. Just attempting to follow the rules.

We're still curating our playlist, but are focusing on iconic '80s tracks that hold up on a revealing system, from Prince to Van Halen. For gear, we’ll be running Klipsch, McIntosh, Marantz, and more. The room itself is our sound room at Republic Elite in Sacramento — acoustically treated, tuned for two-channel, and built to let the gear breathe.

This is a new series for us, so maybe you can join us another time!

Thanks for the clarification, but was more curious what tt/arm/cartridge would be used on a vinyl night. Revealing of what?

Totally fair — here’s what’s brewing so far: (1) McIntosh MT-5 turntable with factory tonearm with an Sumiko moving magnet Amethyst cartridge and (2) Marantz TT-15S1 turntable with factory tonearm with an Clearaudio moving magnet Virtuoso cartridge.
