Would like company.

Gee, I never knew you were in your 80's.

I know I don’t look it.

I’m in westbury.  Where are you

@rvpiano 

Good luck in your search. I am no good to you because I am on the other side of the Atlantic.

I am fortunate to have a few hifi friends and they are the best. Met them through my dealer and online forums. They range from a guy on the next block to someone living nearly five thousand miles away.

Just echo that you come over as much younger. It’s surprise to hear you’re 86. You are an example to us all. Stay forever young.

54 here, I have found this to be a solitary endeavor, besides these very forums. Our type are far and few between, as other posters have stated. There seems to be way too many distractions for people to sit and listen to entire albums anymore. I highly covet every moment I get in my room, I avoid TV and mainstream like the plague. I hope you can find someone local to share the joy with, but if not, it doesn't lessen the experience of high quality sound reproduction.
