Would like company.

Know how you feel, rvpiano.

I've got plenty of friends.

None of them are audiophiles.

None of them have a high-end system.

None of them care about high-end sound.

At least you live in a densely populated area.

I live on the prairie in Texas.

Hope someone will take you up on your offer.

Thanks!

given that you are young minded, maybe nerdy teenagers could be an option. There are aspects of hifi my kids love (and aspects that they reject since I am preaching it)

Also, taking advantage of social media to find relevant groups could be a start. Facebook has a lot of groups, and is mostly used by middle aged and older generations.

Lastly, would coupling it with another activity work? Wine, cooking, tweaking electronics or such?

My wife's post retirement job sometimes brings people to our house for social parties where my audio system is usually playing albeit at low volume. It always amazes me how many people of all ages stare at my tube pre and ask "what are those glowing things?"
