How many of you had been to all 50 states of United States.


Most audiophiles enjoy staying at home with nice sound out of their system.

I had been to 39 states including Alaska and Hawaii.

I had not been to Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississppi yet.

But I will go through North Carolina and South Carolina to audition the speakers next week.

So there will be only 9 states left.

Since I am a photographer, I can make excuse to visit those 9 states.

I wish to get Motor home and drive through all of them again except Hawaii some day.

It is not very practical to bring Motor home to Hawaii just for few days' trip.



It is not cold around Seattle during winter time.

But it rains too often.

I will visit Disney World in Florida with my family next Monday.

Then I will drive from Orlando to Charlotte, NC to audition the following speakers on 18th, Friday.

I consider driving this high efficiency speaker (105db/W) with my Silbatone 300B SET amp.

I will report my impression after serious audition at his showroom with 300B SET monoblocks.

You are close!

I recommend you to visit Fairbanks of AK during winter time to see Aurora yourself.

It will be amazing experience.
@ astewart8944

You are the first person to claim to had been to all 50 states.

I am happy to live at the suburb of Seattle except winter time.

It is really nice to stay here during summer time with not so hot temperature and not so humid either.

With the most economic electricity cost, this area is the most suitable for audiophile.

Interesting Episode in Kodiak, 48 years ago!

I had dropped in Anchorage three times on stopover.

But I had lot of fun around Fairbanks twice each staying in 8 days to take photo of aurora.

It is worthwhile to visit Alaska at least once in a life time.

@ stereo5

Wow you had been to 48 Conus states.

You shall visit Alaska and Hawaii someday although you may need to fly.

Actually you can drive to Alaska through Canada although it is a very long way.

I agree with you that you can see more through travelling on the road.
@ boxer12

Why not to New Mexico?

It has a White Sand National Monument which is really beautiful.

It would be nice to cruise around Conus with bike.

I had been to Alaska twice to take beautiful photos of Northern Lights( Aurora). 

It was a quite experience.


@sfar

Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands are not formal state yet.

If you had never been to Alaska yet, I recommend either cruise during summer time or aurora hunting during winter.
@boxer12

I must have gone through Greenville SC to the way to Charlotte, NC,

It was nice area but rain poured cats and dogs.

If it had been cold, then I would have gut stuck.
