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

Oops!  It appears I am the one who missed the point.  LOL  I've not only heard the quote but just experienced in action!

Anyway, as per your request, my rig:

Kuzma Stabi XL DC TT w/ a Kuzma 14" 4 Point arm and a Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum cartridge

A custom made phono stage from Luna Cables in Canada, which replaced my Naim Superline/Supercap.  (Huge improvement)

Naim Statement mono block amps and the Naim Statement preamp.

Naim CD555 w/ 2555PS DR'd

Revox R2R (PR99 Mk 2)  custom refurbished

A full loom of Luna Noir cables (interconnects, XLRs and speaker and power cords)

Grandinote Mach 36 speakers, custom built for me.  They are the only pair in the world.

Very lonely hobby for sure, would be happy to start one, I live just north of LA county in Ventura county. Right next to Ronald Reagan library, any who’s close let’s synch up and listen to each others system.

@newton_john , the tower of Babel was the prototype mho...
Now, popup ads, the news, todays' crisis, yesterdays' surprises.

A solitary respite, ones' not-so quiet space to restore the drive to do it some more.

We have our own methods and means to create our own stage where and when we find ourselves.  The odds of finding the other people that you are to them is vanishingly small, as it is for me in WNC doing what I do on a bootstring.

Keep your drivers dusted.... ;)

...and my door is always open for a foray in fidelity.  Blue 🌹s.

...don't know me at all... Hello. *S*

Tim, you have discovered part of the problem in your post. I have organized audio listening sessions locally in Ohio. It’s fun and exciting but most members would rather host an event (thus everyone comes to their home) for listening to their system. It’s not as exciting for most to travel to someone else’s house. And to make matters worse, 30-60 minutes is the most they want to travel. That is not a big travel circle for a small group of audiophiles. The group has to like one another and not get jealous of each others gear. The host must agree to allow 2-4 people in their home and the larger the group gets???? The less likely they want to do that and seating is a problem. Lots of factors can keep it from happening but if you have a mature lot, it can be fun!!
