And hey by the way -- I did see 404 when posting. Something's afoot!
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!
Tim

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. |
Best way to make audiophile friends, is make some of your friends into audiophiles. Give them the disease! I've given it to a few friends. Now we listen to the same 5 songs on repeat and discuss how much saliva was on the lips of the singers we encounter. Kidding but yea like most things, a good time is an even better time when it's shared with someone else. I get it OP. Took me a while to find anyone interested in audio gear. I agree with some of these folks - get yourself to a local audio shop or hifi show. You will find yourself a good listener. And it's definitely worth it to have someone else go "wow did you hear that?!" - if I was in East Florida I'd come hang with you. Just gotta find yourself a local audio freak it sounds like 😄 |
