How to find local audiophiles

I've been into this thing since the mid 70's!  I love my music and relaxing to listen to my collection of vinyl.  I'm in the Daytona Beach area and there are actually two really high end shops the Ormond Beach area just up the road from me.  One of them is my main go to guy.  Super place to hang out and all around great owner.  All of the times I have been there, however, I have never met another "local" music lover.  I know they have to be here, but they all must keep to themselves.  

I gave up on this site probably more than a decade ago trying to create an audio club in my area. AG's policies thwarted this at every turn. Greed, is what it boils down to, honestly. If they were truly about audio, then they would have different policies or a separate audio networking area, where folks who want to do just this could communicate and GTG.

I am near Charlotte and we established our own audio club.

I once connected with an audiophile and was kindly invited to his home to hear his system. All very expensive gear but he was playing at such a low level there were no dynamics or bass. Just old vinyl records. Made no sense and it wasn’t good listening. He seemed afraid he might hurt it if he turned it up.

Good point. Finding anyone in hi-end is hard enough. Add in same taste would be impossible.
