Virginia Beach


There's another thread here for this area but it is over two years old with no follow on posts. So here's another go at it. I have no friends that care for my hobby, especially two channel. And then they ask where the Bose surround is at and I have a mini stroke every time.

I'm looking to try to get some serious people involved and if only just for a short time to gather new ideas and share experiences. So post something, give me a shout..whatever. We'll figure something out. And yes I know about the Richmond chapter. I'm not interested in driving an hour and a half to get there. Just keeping it local. Virginia Beach and Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk residents... where are you?

Man, I feel ya. I have made a few attemts at starting a club with no takers---NONE. There's one guy I occasionally go vinyl hunting with and that's it. I've tried in two other major audio sites and FB. I just don't get it. With all of the people that live in the seven cities, which has to be in the millions now, it is so hard to get something going.

Hang in there and keep trying. I have been in 2 audio clubs and they can be loads of fun. My local group is here in Hampton Roads and I started it about 4 years ago. We have 5 members and that is the max. we can fit in at the present time. Three of us spin vinyl in addition to cd's. Most of us have mature systems -- Martin Logan, Snell, Maggies etc.
what do you enjoy listening to?
Hey there. Thanks for the reply.

I listen to quite a lot of music and I've gotten into Acoustic guitar and new age classical and piano quite a bit about a year ago. I listen to a lot of other stuff you nor I would ever dream of playing on our rigs (only in the car) but other than that I keep it simple and light at home. More enjoyable.

I understand your 5 member rule. Even with one other person in the room with me I can hear a slight offset in the sound and I lose my sweet spot which I hate sharing. :) I was more/less trying to start something up to try to learn more than I could from going to a dealer and staring at their gear when I'd rather bring something home to hear, swap, trade and try.

We'll see what happens. Thanks!
So I would suggest that you continue to try an put your own group together. I have found that you add another person and they can then lead you to another etc. The dealers may also be a source of leads. Good luck and keep listening
