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

@newton_john @mylogic same here. I now write longer posts in a word doc first and copy shorter posts before clicking (keyboard shortcut ctrl A then ctrl C, then ctrl V to paste if you get the 404) |
@whart 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. ( |
Back to the OP's question. Hang with a fellow audiophile? Not really. You can't have a discussion while music is playing. Plus I don't know any audiophiles other than my local dealer. I'm fortunate that my wife enjoys our weekend listening sessions and we mostly talk between breaks to change the LP, so I'm not lonely. I'm sorry that you are. Here is what I find strange though, and so does my wife. My listing area and gear is off of an open plan living area in plain sight. It is obviously not "normal" stuff you'd find in many peoples homes, or even in many homes that do have some sort of turntable, the TT stands out. Yet when I have friends and work colleagues over I can see them glance over at it, but no one ever says anything or asks any questions. This strike us as odd. Anyone else? I did have a few people leaning on the speakers once and of course someone put a drink on top of of one. I just walked up and put a coaster under the drink and smiled. Not easy for me, but what else do you do?
