are any of your friends audiophiles?

Albert,

Many thanks for your thoughts and tips. They are appreciated and you may be right... After all, Tucson's population is fast nearing the million mark, so there ought to be a few more audiophiles and music lovers somewhere around here. And I think your idea to hold your meetings consistently on the same day and time is a good one. :)

I have 2 audiophile/music loving friends. One lives about 4 blocks from me and the other moved about 60 miles south of me a year ago. When all of us lived closer we would get together about once a month rotating to listen and enjoy each others very different systems. It is kind of funny that we all prefer our own systems over the others. Just how it should be.

I have recently talked over the phone with a guy that moved 100 miles south of me from Ohio. I invited him up this weekend to meet and listen to some music, since his system is still in Ohio with his family. He accepted the invite for this Saturday. I am looking forward to making another audio friend.

We didn't discuss smoking, but I feel sure we can work it out.

I have spoken to a couple of music and audio stores in the area about sponsoring a monthly get together for people interested in audio and music. One said they were very interested. It might be kind of tough for a small city of 50,000 but you never know.

WWWrecords, where in Ohio?

Chad, sorry for the confusion. I live in Missouri and the guy from Ohio now lives in Tulsa. I didn't make my post very clear.

My cousin is a music lover and has a modest system. He's a master carpenter and actually sometimes builds recording studio spaces. Yet when I showed him my system, I almost had to beg him to sit in the sweet spot, like he was afraid he'd like it too much.
