Are you in a MUSIC CLUB yet?
My audiophile group meet once a month at local retailers. They usually show the equipment their featuring. The attendance is usually 50 to 100 people. Sometimes they have raffles where you can win cables, records or cd's. 
Supporting Local Audio Stores are we?
I live in the Los Angeles area and most of the dealers have gone the home theater route. The couple that survive either work out of a very small store or work out of their house. The heyday of high-end brick and mortar stores is over. Lucklily I g... 
I need some advice on High End Car Audio...
Save your money. The time and effort involved is not worth it. Put the money into your home system. I wish I had all the cash I put into car audio systems in the past. If I had bypassed the car audio trip I could have my dream system today. 
Brag About Your Vinyl Collection
How can the record Bad by Michael Jackson be rare. They made plenty of copies. Just because your friends don't have it doesn't make it rare. 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
I had exposure to high-end audio at an early age and it has stayed with me all these years. I believe if you are not exposed to it when you are young more than likely you will never get into it. Most of the hobbies I grew up with as a kid are stil... 
life without audio dealers
The high-end audio dealers I know all have money. They didn't make their fortune selling audio equipment. These guys have boats, homes, exotic cars, etc, etc. They sell audio equipment as more like a hobby than a business. They carry the products ... 
Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it
After listening to CD's for twenty years I took the plunge back into Analog. I had alot of turntables as a kid. I come from a family of musicians. I bought a used VPI Aries with a new wood bodied Benz cartridge. I had it professional set up by the...

" It doesn't matter as long as it's overpriced"A Wilson owner is not going to run a cheap amp just like a Ferrari owner isn't going to buy his tires at Wal-Mart.

Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
Brooks carries Mcintosh? I was in his shop 6 months ago and he didn't have it. I'm going to give him a call. 
Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
After reading all the responces I guess audiophiles do listen to Mcintosh. If you just talked to the dealers in Southern California you would never know that. I'm glad I started this thread. Now I'm interested in Auditioning some Mac tube gear. 
Going to USA: Where to buy LPs in CA and Vegas?
You got to go see Music Man Murray in Los Angeles. More hidden treasures than both Amoebas put together. Give him a call at 323-734-9146. 
Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
WWW.Records what I said is not Bogus! Shelleys Stereo is a mid-fi store that carries Mcintosh. There other lines are Yamaha, Rotel, Adcom, Rega, Arcam, etc, etc. That is mid-fi as far as I am concerned. The other store Audio Concepts also carries ... 
are any of your friends audiophiles?
I have a friend that has a very high-end system but he hasn't listened to it in over 2 years. Everytime I mention to him about a thread on Audiogon or an article in Absolute sound he changes the subject. Go figure! 
best preamp ever - cost is no object
I think this discussion is entertaining and that's about it!When it comes to audio there is never a best of anything. It's just a matter of opinion.
