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!

Change the requirement to friends or acquaintances that like music (as opposed to being “audiophiles”) and it becomes much easier.  I have a couple of neighbors whom I invite over to my house to listen to jazz and drink scotch every month or two.  Been doing it for over 15 years and we became good friends as a result.  Neither of them is an audiophile, but they love good music, good booze, good food, and good conversation.  I have another neighbor whose politics are polar opposite to mine; he’s coming over tomorrow night for bourbon and good tunes.  We started doing this about a year ago and it repaired our relationship during these tense times.  Don’t require it to be mutual; use it to have fun, and you will.

You make a good point.

The one important thing we have in common here is that we all enjoy sitting down and just listening to music. This distinguishes us from most other people. 

We should celebrate that.

Yet, it seems to get overlooked in all the futile spats between the various factions on audio forums.
