Would like company.

@jmmaccord Williamsburg, VA here. Reach out if you like.

I would love to share my system and hear others and I'm in Orange County CA.  I know we have a local club, but it is so spread out and their FB page left a bad taste in my mouth in that only certain members could post.

Also, they keep e-mailing me to join them for zoom meetings but then don't recognize me when I try to go there.  I just didn't need that kind of thing.

Unfortunately, almost no one listens to properly reproduced music these days.  Most just are impressed by loud bass in modern music.  It’s a sign of the times, I suppose: end of the middle to middle-upper class in the near future, and a return to peasantry, where most just struggle for subsistence.  Music is life, but most seem only concerned about living: paying the bills, and have no time for more refined, cultured activity.  Football is entertaining, and that’s enough entertainment for most everyone:  bread and circuses.  It was a good 75 years for most.  Enjoy your time with your music!

Social Media has taken over for in person human interaction.  Have you been to a restaurant and seen a bunch of twenty somethings sitting at a table, not interacting with each other, on their phones?

  I would consider moving to a Senior Residence.  Get one with common areas where people sit, play cards, or games like Scrabble that keep the brain agile. …
 

  That would no doubt require a culling of your audio equipment and your physical media, but you can trade down to a decent smaller system with a headphone option.  As your previous threads have indicated you have been mulling this over.

  It’s time.  Having companionship will keep you going

Thank you all for your very compassionate support. 
This forum has some very fine people.
