Anyone in this hobby lonely like me and wish they could “hang” with a fellow audiophile?


I had to ask this question. Because that’s where I’m at currently. I created a nice little smartly tuned system that I’d love to play for others. As well as a knowledge base that’s strong enough now to listen in educated fashion to others’ systems as well. I just wish I could invite someone to listen, or vise versa. But all my audiophile friends are states or continents away. I live in a small town in east coast Florida and just don’t know anyone in my region who’s an audiophile other than dealers.  
Any thoughts?

Will post system in next post

Thanks!

l have just tried twice to post and had 404 errors crop up and everything being lost.

This site is getting so glitchy again.

l decided to give up on this occasion,

 

To mylogic and anyone else who has had texts lost, I recommend this: Draft your responses in a local word processor. Get the text ready, spell checked, and so on, locally. Sometimes I use a very basic app like "notepad", sometimes something more sophisticated. Whatever.

Then, just copy & paste into the "Post Your Response" window.

Now to the OP's topic -- Audiophiles are a rare breed; that alone may make us isolated. We are saying, "WAIT. The speakers matter. That funny buzz matters.". We want to experience the music as the performers intended, and we make no bones about that being important. 

My approach is that I do not mention my audiophilia or my above-average system. When out, I just listen to the music. But once in a blue moon, when at home, someone listening with me will make a positive comment. I contain my thrill and go on to the next album or whatever. 

 

I'm in Bethlehem, Pa. Anyone wanting to listen are welcome to reach out. I do have audiophile friends. One lives in Orlando. The other is not too far. Another is in ill health. It is more fun sharing AND discovering new music. Thanks OP for the post. Joe

To the OP, I think you should relish peace, stability and living a carefully measured life.  Audio as a hobby, like many other hobbies, can be solitary.  If you want interaction, join a running club, cycling club, take a music class at your local Community College, a bowling league, or if you have a descent car with good brakes, and that handles relatively well, join the SCCA/BMW Club; they hold both track days and autocrosses.  An autocross will get your heart pumping like no kther as you try to hustle your sled around a tight & twisty course to the best time you can achieve.  The BMW CCA has a class where non-BMs run.  Plus, it'll make you a better driver.  Anyways, enjoy your solitude man.
