I was reading that being a member of an audiophile society (is that the same as being an audiophiliac?) gets you a discount at CES, or something like that, and by clicking links I found the Web site of the BAAS, which looks like it was created by Jason Victor Serinus, who among other things is a reviewer for Stereophile. Any members here? If so, is it worth it (yeah, just $15, but there are lots of people who want my $15!).

Tom the one to which you refer is the Bay Area Audiophile Society started by Victor.Yes it is $15 to join
Approximately 6-7 years ago I started another BAAS which I called Bay Area Audio Society which now consists of 25-30 audio and videophiles around the SF Bay Area. We meet 3-4 times per year, have no dues, have a great time listening to music or watching great video but we have no shlepp to get discounts at CES
I hosted a recent BAAS meeting 2 weeks ago where Keith Yates was our guest speaker. Most everyone know Keith and his accomplishments. Keith spoke extensively on taming LF in rooms and showed detailed plans on jobs in which he is involved.
Several Forum members here are members of our BAAS including astrotoy and my namesake, the other Steve Williams (steveidosound), and JeffS and have attended several of our meets. We welcome any and all who are interested to join.
If interested you can find information at our forum

Heck even Paul Stubblebine is a member of our forum :)

Steve,
I took a look at your forum. May I ask how do you define "ultra high-end"?

Hi Tom
I noticed that you joined our forum. Not to take away from this wonderful forum here but ours deals with all audio and video high end. Hopefully Xavier you might lurk for a while but I will bet you will join and get your feet wet.
we have a small membership but growing daily. Have a look at our list of members and you will recognize a lot of names
Tom...our last meeet was just a few weeks ago, well attended and very informmative with a powerful dissertation by Keith Yates on "the room and taming LFE." I wil always post informaation about upcoming events at our other forum.
BTW, there were three members of the original BAAS who attended our event and had only positive things to say, one of which I found meaningful.....they said that at the other BAAS meetings they either never play music or do so only infrequently. They joined our little group
