Where R U?????


All us regulars are familiar with the “Who R U” thread started by my buddy David. I met my first local audiophile friend last weekend, their aren’t many of us up here, and we have similar taste in music, and gear for that matter too! David is also ‘close’ to me(about 2-3 hour drive) other then that there is NO one, perhaps some of us are closer to each other then we realize. Of course some of us know where each other are, how ever there are many members I don’t know the location of. There are literally NO high fi dealers near me, so it is nice to see/hear a good system, set up by a fellow audiophile, my latest friend is so happy that he is not the only one in this area with this passion. So I am in the Albany, NY area, where are you folks from?

And all this time I thought you were a camera nut! Lake Panorama who would'a thunk it!
Bangkok.
That make audio equipment very expensive. High import duty.
My local B&W dealer wants nearly $7000 for a pair of 805 Signatures!! (thru Audiogon I found a demo set in HK for $3000)
Needless to say I am shopping in Hong Kong and Singapore.
I'm in Santa Cruz, California. Best known for great surfing and bigtime earthquakes. Oh , and some great golfcourses.
Currently in Afghanistan with the military...I have a house in Ewa Beach, Hawaii...grew up in Canton, Ohio
Canmore, Alberta, Canada - which is in the Rocky Mountains and is 20 kilometres (14 miles) east of Banff and 100 Kilometres (60 miles) west of Calgary.
I used to drive through Canmore all the time on the way from Prince George to Calgary. What a beautiful place...

P.
In the middle of nowhere in West Virginia. A perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of big and dead cities.
Jackson, WI.

Let's see...you drive north from Milwaukee until you get to the 'sticks,' then continue north until you fall off the edge of the planet. When you hit bottom, you'll be in Jackson.
Greetings,
Another good post. I am in Hot HOT town of Hattiesburg, MS.which is located about sixty miles from the Gulf Coast and one hundred and five miles from New Orleans. It is usually one hundred and twenty degrees in the shade here. Like many other audiogoner's, there are no serious High End stores anywhere near my location.

Originally Detroit. Hey Bigjoe, if Flint is the "armpit of the world", I guess that makes Detroit the a-hole of the world, with its constant flatulance belching from its smelly old smokestacks. But a great source for fantastic music. Now northwest of Atlanta, GA. Mountains, warm weather, cows for neighbors, simply beautiful. But a lousy source for music. Oh well.
Null1, I lived in Toledo for 6 yrs, until 6 yrs ago when we moved to Atlanta. We lived in the Old West End on Virginia near Collingwood. I miss Fritz & Alfredo's, Timko's, Mano's, and the Middle Eastern restaurant (name?), the art museum, and our very interesting neighborhood. But NOT the cold.
Orginially from LI, NY
Now down in Sanford, Florida.

No heating this winter!

Gtfsr,Wait a couple years and your blood will thin out!I live in Bradenton and turn the heater on when it gets down to 68 or so!I moved from Miami to Ocala and thought i would die when it got down to 33,,Ray
Rye, a small town on NH's beautiful seacoast, pretty near the White Mountains and skiing, great quality of life in the Live Free or Die State... but just a tad bit too e'ffing cold for for this southern boy.
Raytheprinter I missed the cold already.
So we moved up north again.
Ok, ok so it's only 10 miles north to Deland, But it's a move.

We used to have a few good stores but the closed or were bought by World wide Stereo. :)
GTF ,,So your a northern floridian now! I have a job interview in Boca Raton next week ,,,,Ray
Another Portland, OR person. I live in NE Portland & the people I knew here left; one for Jackson Hole, WY & one for Seattle, WA. Problem is I live w/ cats, dogs as well as the human part of my family. Also am way more into music I own than the gear (both financially & time).
I live in Washington, D. C. -- The MOST Powerful City in the world. A city that is more for politics than for audiophiles. But I do have access to audio stores in my area.

(01). SoundWorks -- Kensington, Maryland
(02). JS Audio -- Bethesda, Maryland
(03). Myer-Emco -- Washington, D. C. Metropolitan Area

And probably countless others in the Northern Virginia area.

Richmond, Virginia. After five years in Philadelphia, a new job is bring us back to Virginia and we're looking forward to our return. Once I've settled in a bit, I hope to connect with as nice a bunch of audio nuts in the Richmond area as we found around Philadelphia.

Rushton-If you find the the Walker and Atma-sphere are too cumbersome to move I would be happy to take them off your hands no charge.
Incidentally I went to college in Richmond. Springtime is beautiful. I think they still have the azalea festival.
Gregad, now that we're going to be only 90 minutes or so from each other, we'll have to find a time to visit!
Rushton-I know the Richmond I95 Washington corridor so well I can drive it in my sleep. ( I may have actually done that a few times). Actually my niece went to Brynn Mawr and I have been to Overture Audio on many occaisons. I know hearing your system would change my (audio) life.
