"We take turns meeting at each member’s home, allowing each member to host and present/share their music, food, wine/drinks and good company. Most of the members have various consumer-level listening stations: AV receivers, Bluetooth soundbars and even the TV!"
One of the most memorable music evenings I ever had was when I was in college and frequented the local record shop. They didn't have much of a jazz selection but what they had was well curated by an older guy who worked in the shop. It got to where he's set things aside for me. One day he asked if I wanted to come over to his house and listen to 78s. I happily accepted, and we spent a terrific evening in his "listening room"--a spare bedroom filled with shelves of 78 albums and singles, and a little KLH bookshelf system with the speakers plopped randomly on stacks of LPs. The music was wonderful. ;-)
