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?

Greetings from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I live 4 miles from the base of Jackson Hole Ski Resort (aka Teton Village), the best extreme terrain in America. My closest audiophile friends are in Boise, Idaho, 6.5 hours away. I'm guessing there are others here, but none that I have met. We have one great hi fi shop (B&W, Wilson Audio, Thiel, Krell, Meridian, Bryston, etc.) and a lot of wealth here.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Another Canuck, greetings from Montreal! Quite a geographic cross-section of folks here. There's a number of well known audio manufacturers around here, some decent retailers too. This site has contributed to my enjoyment of music and the associated gear. Thanks to all, and enjoy the holidays.

If you look at a map of California and find Yosemite National Park, I'm at the ten o'clock position in the town of Twain Harte in the beautiful Sierra Mountains. Audiophiles? We don't have no stinking audiophiles. Actually, there are 3 audiophiles that I'm aware of within an hours drive. The closest highend audio shop is over two hours away (unless you consider Radio Shack a high end store). So taking home gear to demo is impossible, and shoping around usually entails a 3-hour trip to the San Francisco Bay Area. SWF 18-35 are available, but is having a full set of teeth a criteria?

I am about half way between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe, not far from a little town called Colfax.

I'm on the Canadian border with Quebec in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. The town is Holland with no Post Office, one paved road with little or no traffic noise to contend with! Quiet and beautiful! And NO audiophile neighbors that I know of. I use AudiogoN as my high-end "store" and these forums for valuable info. Happy holidays to one and all.
