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

Find a bar in your town that will allow you to set up your system once a month and promote the afternoon - evening. Don't worry that people are tittering away the time in idle talk. You will get some people who are interested in music and systems some of them young dudes that like sound. It could grow into something special.

That worked for my friends. See the ​​​​​"Debating starting a music listening club. Questions......." thread.

The gear that I would most like to hear is the really super expensive stuff.  Non audiophiles would put my system in that category, since I spend more on my system than on my car, but you guys know what I mean.  Hearing a similarly priced or lesser priced system is always interesting but I have found comparisons difficult because of all the variables or room effect, unfamiliar components in the chain, etc.

  Those variables would still exist in a million dollar system, but still it’s interesting.

Despite the large number of variables when listening to friends’ systems, it’s sometimes surprisingly easy to hear specific differences. For instance, I once picked up on a more fluid like sound that I found out was due to an upgraded turntable bearing. With a friend who has a similar setup to me, I heard something better, kind of more relaxed than mine which turned out to be due to improved power supplies and mains cables.

Also at 74 i dont need new friend...

My oldest friend know me since 61 years...

At my age young people  company may be inspiring but  i dont know a club of some teen audiophiles or even thirty years old audiophiles...

 Tech has changed. A young could own a decent set up reaching with some optimization  what i called "minimal acoustical satisfaction threshold" with a money investment  near 500 bucks easily ...

 Obsessed high end  audiophiles with budget open dont go into club. like Ferrari owner dont go to taxi drivers car club...Generally...

But there was exception in the USA...

Where i live there is not so much opportunity...
