Oshkosh, Wisconsin-- "the beat to hell boombox with wires hanging out the back" capital of Wisconsin ;)
No high end shops to be found and I've yet to meet an audiophile here. Most people around here can't fathom the idea that I have a $3K turntable rig, and think a tube amp must be some kind of sausage-making device...
...and what high-end dealers I've been able to find within hundreds of miles get a little weirded out that a 20-something year old dreadlocked hooligan such as myself would have a high-end system (except for one in Madison who sold me my Conrad Johnson). Once, I nearly got in a fight with a salesman at a local "record store" who wouldn't believe such a thing as a cartridge alignment tool existed. The place was chock full of NuMark and Gemini direct drive turntables and Monster Cable. That was a fun one.
Anyone around the Fox Cities, speak up!
