The
Boston Audio Society (
BAS) is an organization for
audiophiles, based in
Boston. According to their web page
[1871], the society is
"devoted to the exploration and enjoyment of all aspects of
audio".
Membership
The society is supported entirely by
its members. Membership includes a subscription to the bimonthly
newsletter,
BAS Speaker, in both print and electronic
form. Non-members may also access selected articles of BAS Speaker
electronically
[1872]. Membership
also includes admission to the monthly meetings of the society.
Non-members may also attend one meeting as a guest.
An example
of a notable article that first appeared in
BAS Speaker
(and later in the March 1980 issue of "High Fidelity" magazine) was
written by BAS member
Daniel J. Shanefield.
This article introduced the idea of
double-blind testing of audio equipment,
which is now used worldwide when new technology is
suggested.
