Administrator StereoNET Posted September 23, 2013 Administrator Posted September 23, 2013 I'm pleased to announce that StereoNET will be displaying at this show. So by all means please drop in and introduce yourself if I haven't had the opportunity to meet you before. If I have, come and say hi anyway! Don't expect too much from our stand as our resources are a little bit limited, but I didn't want to miss this opportunity to get our name out there and hopefully pick up some new members. With that said, I have a friend and StereoNET Member's wedding I have to attend on the Saturday I won't be there all of the afternoon/evening. Are there any long-term StereoNET members that would be willing to not only man the stand during that time, but at any time during the Friday - Sunday? It would be great to have a few members milling around answering any enquiries we may receive about what it's all about! I look forward to seeing many of you.
Super Mustud Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Look forward to dropping in and chatting.
Grumpy Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 My! how we've grown - good on ya Marc and If it was a little closer to home I'd help if I could
Luc Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 And I would too and answer all enquiries from new members or potential members for their enquiries about $500 amps...I've got form, seriously... Geez you know that could give me the excuse I've been looking for to fly down and attend. @ Marc: If I was let loose in your stand/stall/micro cupboard stuck near the tradesman elevator, I'd have the "Back in 5 minutes! Please look about. We won't be long " card strung up on the door/cavity/nook. ...and then I'd be off walking the floors an knocking on reps doors and talking to display spruikers and letting them know that half the people wandering through here and I bet a large amount of your Australian presence on the Net is all down to SNA..."Are you hearing me buddy?" Yes, I mean you. The only reason your speakers/amps/connectors/IC's/power conditioner/DAC(yeah you NAD rep) have any sort of presence is because of this site. ...Time to pay your dues mate and that goes for you too Mr Australian retailer/manufacturer of a product that was only mildly well known in the audiophile community and is now really well known due the discussion threads that SNA makes available...time to pay up or another horse dies(old movie meme there and if you don't understand it then change horse for your speakers clipped for an hour+half by some Boulder behemoth... ) And after that little walk around, I'd be back to manning the table and offering tea+biccies to the curious An absolute monty for the role I reckon. 4
Cafad Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Luc mate, you are an absolute shoe in! Looks like I won't be making it to this show, but I'll be there in spirit. Enjoy guys, and be sure to post some pics! (You hearing that Willco?)
Rob181 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Spending a few days with Luc haunting the rooms at the AV show would be an absolutely fantastic & humorous way to spend a day or two...you could do a lot worse Marc than convincing Luc to man/person/non gender specifically manage your stand for an hour or two. I am sure he could do for you what he does for his customers...excavate to create (that's mine & copyright by the way Mr Luc) The smart HiFi retailers/manufacturers/wholesalers use SNA...the rest miss out & I have no doubt Luc would remind all of them in his own very subtle way. Recruiting Luc will be easy...all you will need is an Esky with a couple of coldies in it located within the stand area & use glass...that way he cannot not leave said stand until the contents have been consumed...Rob 1
illusion Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Where's all the long time SNA members from Victoria? Come on guys step up to help.
Tony M Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) One thing I might try to do early in the show before it gets too busy, is to take some pics of the rooms and equipment for those who can't make it. Last year there seemed to be a dearth of photos available. Basic snapshot quality though - no arty farty stuff. I could probably fulfill a useful function for a while in the SNA room as an honorary "Old Farts" liaison officer to engage the geriatric contingent? Nah, on second thoughts, forget it, we've got enough silly old buggers on the forum as it is! . . Edited October 12, 2013 by Tony M 1
Guest Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 I guess I am a little disappointed that I have had to call in some non-SNA members and friends to man the stand in my absence while I attend to some other obligations. It is what it is though. We were encouraged by the members to have a stand, we have, and hopefully they'll come and introduce themselves at some point.

I'll be around on Sunday and am happy to stay around the stand for a while. 1
gz76 Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Hi Marc, maybe you can try contacting the members you know and trust to do this for you. I'm sure most suitable candidates are standoffish not knowing if they're qualified enough and respected enough by yourself to represent SNA. 1
Tony M Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Marc Yeah, gx76's comment is probably valid . Also, I think there was an assumption/expectation that there would be a number of SNA members at the stand at any one time during the show and that any or all of them would be happy to look after things while you are absent. I'll look in and say gooday early on Friday and find out if I can help, except I wouldn't volunteer to even try to keep some of the more notorious members like Mustud and in line and out of trouble.

This IS the BBQ Show we are talking about, yes?
Super Mustud Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 BBQ Show? Isn't Marc setting up a booth at a BBQ show end of next week? Should be a ripper day. I am always there to help.

Fair points yes. In any case, I am looking forward to meeting many of you that I have not had the opportunity to do so prior. As mentioned previously, I won't be in attendance most of Saturday, but will be during the rest of the show.
