I have several audio friends--one I grew up with, my brothers, my former roommate in college who taught me a lot about good music and how to keep records in good shape, along with a couple good buddies now that either bought something from me or I bought from and live pretty close to me. We get together every now and then about once a month or so. We have a great time and we use the extra sets of ears to help evaluate any decisions we are trying to make on equipment. CAN be very helpful. I know what they like and they know my preferences too. It's good fun and no one gets arrested so far.
