Virginia Beach

There's another thread here for this area but it is over two years old with no follow on posts. So here's another go at it. I have no friends that care for my hobby, especially two channel. And then they ask where the Bose surround is at and I have a mini stroke every time.

I'm looking to try to get some serious people involved and if only just for a short time to gather new ideas and share experiences. So post something, give me a shout..whatever. We'll figure something out. And yes I know about the Richmond chapter. I'm not interested in driving an hour and a half to get there. Just keeping it local. Virginia Beach and Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk residents... where are you?

Still no takers? :-/ Come on. Wheres the spirit? Or is this the cheap Bose theatre surround market? I need to move to NC. They have a place called The Analog Store. Guess what they sell? And they survive! lol. For real though.... New idea! How about one full day. Like a mini audio show. Bring a couple pieces of gear and some cables you are fond of and we'll give em all a listen, mix and match, drink tasty Belgian beer (im not promoting alcoholism here) and chat it up about experiences thus far. It would be a beneficial thing for those in the beginning stages and for those with established rigs. I'd have no problem recommending my place but it isn't the ideal listening room and 5 is a crowd. And its an apartment. Don't want to get reported. lol! Maybe I should invite the neighbors that would call the cops. ;-) Hope to hear from more of you.

Man, I feel ya. I have made a few attemts at starting a club with no takers---NONE. There's one guy I occasionally go vinyl hunting with and that's it. I've tried in two other major audio sites and FB. I just don't get it. With all of the people that live in the seven cities, which has to be in the millions now, it is so hard to get something going.

Tigger:

Hang in there and keep trying. I have been in 2 audio clubs and they can be loads of fun. My local group is here in Hampton Roads and I started it about 4 years ago. We have 5 members and that is the max. we can fit in at the present time. Three of us spin vinyl in addition to cd's. Most of us have mature systems -- Martin Logan, Snell, Maggies etc.
what do you enjoy listening to?
