Would like company.

I  had lost contact with my only audio friend and initiator long ago.

The only one i knew after that  owned a good system pieces, but badly installed in his living room and with no optimization, anyway, at this time i was not so well informed either i was just beginning my learning process curve...We loose contact after my retirement...

I prefered the sound of my low cost system even if his own has way more potential (Magnepan), this exemplified for me the necessity of optimization for any system at any price...

It was great enjoyment to be able to communicate about music and gear...Mostly music though...

Since my retirement i miss people, i wish you will be able to break isolation...

I wish you the best and some positive surprise...

All we have is humanity...Audio matter way less...

OP, are you a member there? It might be worthwhile to pay a visit.

Man, I would love to join you, unfortunately I'm in MN.  I have thought about posting the same type of message as my wife does not appreciate my system (nor my music for that matter).  Hope you can find someone to join you, would love to hear your system!  I do get together with my brother from time to time as he does share my passion for audio.

@rvpiano you are a good egg...hand in there!

Interesting. Back in the day I always used to have audio friends ringing up and popping round with their new record to have a listen. I miss that. It's all streaming and couch potato these days. No music listening clubs. Well only at the local audiophile dealers.

Cheers.
