skaloumbakas Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 Dear fellow Audiophiles, *** http://aca.gr *** has become one of the best Audio related sites in the world and mainly this is due to the fact that many interesting hi-enders have joined the club having all the privileges a member can have and others have simply shared their profile, their system and their expertise. Since my recent flood of posts in this very popular friendly and hospitable KLIPSCH FORUM, there has been a significant sirculation increase in our web-site. It seems you are too many in this FORUM and I have the feeling they must be very good system set-ups around here. So, I will not miss the chance to propose to you from here ( http://aca.gr/apply.htm ) *********************************************** A. JOIN THE CLUB no matter your nationality... *** http://aca.gr/application.txt *** Entrance fee is $35 (or EUR) and annual fees $35 (or EUR). In case of international members, we accept fees according to individual country conditions. Click http://aca.gr/application.txt , fill in and e-mail us ( aca@aca.gr ) this simple text form. If you qualify, our Club's officers will transform the text file you will send, into an HTML file called "Hi-End Profile". It will include a small photograph of yourself at the top, an abstract of your profile at the top right, a medium sized photograph of your system as a whole with a hit counter below left, a description of your hi-end system on the right and your personal hi-end history and expertise below with some photographs (thumbnails) here and there to make your page look beautiful. This profile page will be linked with the A.C.A. systems directory page ( http://aca.gr/system_aca.htm ), through a small description and a thumbnail photograph of your system. Being an A.C.A. member gives you the advantage of your personal thumbnail photo being included in the A.C.A. members' page ( http://aca.gr/aca_member.htm ) with your e-mail (in e-mail form) and a second link to your profile page! *********************************************** B. SHARE YOUR HI-END PROFILE in this web-site... *** http://aca.gr/personal_page.txt *** Click http://aca.gr/personal_page.txt , fill in and e-mail us ( aca@aca.gr ) this simple text form. Do not worry, this is free !! If you qualify, our Club's officers will transform the text file you will send, into an HTML file called "Hi-End Profile".

This profile page will be linked with the world systems directory page ( http://aca.gr/system_world.htm ), through a small description and a thumbnail photograph of your system. *********************************************** For your convenience, I include below some links to profile pages, selected for their completeness in both, text and photographs. MEMBERS ------- http://aca.gr/pop_skal.htm http://aca.gr/pop_econ.htm http://aca.gr/pop_coumpas.htm http://aca.gr/pop_moust.htm http://aca.gr/pop_mastr.htm http://aca.gr/pop_kats.htm http://aca.gr/pop_sakk.htm http://aca.gr/pop_alex.htm WORLD SYSTEMS ------------- http://aca.gr/pop_cheung.htm http://aca.gr/pop_whittaker.htm *********************************************** Dear friends, Since there is a considerable amount of work needed to form these pages, allow me to mention some comments here: 1. To qualify for those pages, photographs and comments according to guidelines in the TEXT FORMS are absolute neccessity. 2. Please, do not bother to apply if you own a Home Cinema system. This is strictly a 2-channel Audio Club. 3. Every couple of months, we collect the counter hits of all profile pages and make a list ( http://aca.gr/system_sort.htm ), just to have an idea about systems' popularity among our selected visiting audience, but really we DO IT JUST FOR FUN, although you can extract interesting statistical conclusions from there... My best regards to all of you (do not forget WAF...) Christos Skaloumbakas A.C.A.

mobile homeless Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 This is totally out of line. I cant believe no one has objected to this advertising. Do monitors READ these forums? kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaloumbakas Posted November 16, 2001 Author Share Posted November 16, 2001 Dear Kh, hello You must realise that Audiophile Clubs are non profit organizations. I did not wish to reply to you but I saw that you have reacted (to be honest in a more proper way) in another post, saying the same things. Could you tell me what are we selling - advertising??? Despite all that, I want to offer you a gift though... We are "selling" 140 great turntables. You can find them in http://aca.gr/turntable.htm , web-page included in the official web-site of Audiophile Club of Athens My best regards to you Christos Skaloumbakas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike stehr Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 Moderate blatant advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaloumbakas Posted November 17, 2001 Author Share Posted November 17, 2001 With that kind of mentality you think you are promoting Hi-End ???!!! I think with letting you know about our Club, is a good chance for you to see the European way of Hi-End approach. You are wrong to believe that this is a totally Hellenic Club in a sence that only Greek systems are found there. This happens only in: *** http://aca.gr/system_aca.htm *** But if you go to: *** http://aca.gr/system_world.htm *** you will find more than 30 Hi-End systems from all over the world and if you go to: *** http://aca.gr/system_ihifi.htm *** you will find more than 40 Hi-End systems (links) from Istanbul - Turkey (we have ecxellent relations with their Club called iHiFi you know...) I hope some day we will have excellent relations with you too... And now some advertising for the Istanbul Club. You can find it at *** http://www.ihifi.org *** Christos Skaloumbakas A.C.A. President *** http://aca.gr/ *** *** aca@aca.gr *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 Here is yet another DIRECT QUOTE taken from skaloumbakas: "Since my recent flood of posts in this very popular friendly and hospitable KLIPSCH FORUM, there has been a significant sirculation(sic) increase in our web-site." I actually cannot BELIEVE the moderators have not stepped in here and at least discouraged you from using this forum as a pulpit. How you can even get away with listing prices for membership along with services (that cost) is beyond me. I do web design for high end companys, companys that I happen to believe in. Perhaps I should start listing the links to all the sites and the products within just to expose the Klipsch Forum members to "better audio." Indeed, it would not be as veiled and hard to see with my action, yet yours has very similar parallels. And you are relying on the differences to smoke screen your blatent promotion of your club and its services, which cost! Frankly, I would not want to be a member of any organization whose President used such membership recruiting tactics. kh This message has been edited by mobile homeless on 11-17-2001 at 08:25 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomer9911 Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 No One is promoting "High End"...just your boot from the board! Sounds Greek to me... This message has been edited by boomer9911 on 11-17-2001 at 10:18 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
