I enjoyed my first club meeting today with Space Coast Audio Society. Got to meet some really nice people and enjoy great music on great gear. I am really glad I went. Downside was over 4 hours of driving (round trip). Perhaps for the next I plan a little stay over / weekend getaway.
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

Great post OP. If anyone's in the SE of the UK, I'd be up for a visit. @newton_john - where are you based? |

It's not just a audiophile thing. Most middle-aged, old guys and gals tend to be lonely. You could forget about the audiophiles living in other states and invite some non-audiophile older guys and gals over (in your area) for listening to some music and hanging out. Who knows? They might actually turn into audiophiles... I could count somewhere in the vicinity of 15, 20 people within the last 2 or 3 years who may have become audiophiles after i showed them some stuff, i.e., moved on from tv speakers/laptop speakers/sound bar/etc to some of the affordable rigs. Ime, a small minimalist hometheater rig tends to be the gateway drug for some form of audiophilia. Start with exposing the non-audiophiles to some music videos, concerts, netflix series or whatever in a room that looks like a regular living room, not some lab. |
