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

Back in the 1970's, high school and college days, a lot of my friends had nice stereos and we would get together and talk about girls, listen to some great rock, and then talk about more girls.  Updating your system was a bit of an ongoing competition (albeit at the low end of the price spectrum).  So, a lot of active and social listening sessions.

Most of these friends have moved on or I have lost contact with them over the years. And I doubt if any continued to pursue this as a hobby in any serious fashion. 

I do miss the camaraderie associated with the jam sessions back in the day. I live in Central Ohio, so if any of you guys are in that area, let me know.  Would love to listen to some other systems and see how mine stacks up.

The only other audiophiles I've met were at listening events at dealers and they were much older than me

There is an audio club that has met a couple of times in the Boca Raton area that has about 30 members in it and its been a lot of fun so far.The Club is called South Florida high end audio club.

I just have to make some fun of Pittsburgh in the late '60s. I visited a number of time (I lived in Western Pennsylvania) and never saw the city... not once. The smog was so thick I could only see a couple buildings in any direction. No wonder you guys huddled together inside. My condolences. ()
