When is the last time you randomly ran into

It happens to me very occasionally.
(Three times that I can think of in the past 25 years.)

We're a dying breed it seems.

(Although, I have created a couple of budding audiophiles myself, so I'm doing my part to keep our hobby going!)
:-)

It never happened so far. Don't know any either, except my online friends. That's one of the reasons I spend so much time posting here. Being a lone audiophile can be isolating.

I used to have to call my friend in mlps minn to blither about stuff that a non audiophile would think your crazy.(We got your back foster).Untill recently my brother out in seattle here started upgrading and started to build a simple system.Hes got the bug,he always said hes done buying stuff(smirk).I dont think its a dying hobby so much as it's a hobby you either have the cash for or are willing to pay the piper later.I know my priority's have been out of sorts for the hobby...
