How many of you had been to all 50 states of United States.


Most audiophiles enjoy staying at home with nice sound out of their system.

I had been to 39 states including Alaska and Hawaii.

I had not been to Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississppi yet.

But I will go through North Carolina and South Carolina to audition the speakers next week.

So there will be only 9 states left.

Since I am a photographer, I can make excuse to visit those 9 states.

I wish to get Motor home and drive through all of them again except Hawaii some day.

It is not very practical to bring Motor home to Hawaii just for few days' trip.



It is not cold around Seattle during winter time.

But it rains too often.

I will visit Disney World in Florida with my family next Monday.

Then I will drive from Orlando to Charlotte, NC to audition the following speakers on 18th, Friday.

I consider driving this high efficiency speaker (105db/W) with my Silbatone 300B SET amp.

I will report my impression after serious audition at his showroom with 300B SET monoblocks.

I'm at 49 missing only Alaska. Also been to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Do those count?
I've at  least touched in every state save Arkansas .The most beautiful is Upstate NY , YES New York .
Worst looking is a matter of taste , but most 3rd world countries are better than Florida  IMO.

Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands are not formal state yet.

If you had never been to Alaska yet, I recommend either cruise during summer time or aurora hunting during winter.
Been to all 50 over the years; however, Arizona is my favorite. The topography ranges from the Sonoran Desert yo the mountains, while the Northern part contains the canyons carved by the Colorado and its tributaries. 
We have visited all 50 states over the years. One of our main reasons is to visit National Parks. Our goal is to visit all 60, so far we have been to 36 National Parks, many multiple times. As an avid photographer, I like to document the beautiful scenery, wildlife, and many trails in the National Parks via photos.

I agree with Schubert that upstate NY is beautiful, especially the Adirondacks which are great for camping, hiking, paddling, and skiing. The Finger Lakes are also beautiful with many wonderful wineries.
