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?

Sunny Tucson Arizona, back from a short stent in LA (Great city, too many people). Miss the audio exposure there though.

Tireguy -- not yet for TFTA. I just managed to hook a friend of mine on the idea of investing in a fairly nice system (likely some relatively high end monitors and an integrated, for starters) and should be doing the rounds here in the city this weekend to start educating him on some options. Maybe we'll take the trek to Westchester, but if not this weekend, I hope to head up there soon. When I do, I'll tell'em you (and the rest of the gang) sent me. Cheers

La Mirada, California. 5 miles west of Disneyland and 15 miles east of LA. The closest toy stores I frequent to are AudioVideo Today, Digital EAR and Ambrosia in Bel Air.

I grew up in Detroit but after tiring of getting my equipment stolen, moved about 1/2 hour outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan, into a town of about 400 people. Small town life is the life for me(wasn't that from a sitcom?), you know all the neighbors. During the first snowstorm we had after moving here a neighbor, on a giant John Deere tractor came at 9am to plow our driveway for us. The sound of the tractor, while we were still sleeping, made my wife dash for the phone to call the police or somthing(as I said we are from Detroit, and we were conditioned). I thought it was an airplane in distress or a lost semi truck in my driveway. I went out in bare feet to introduce myself. My neighbor said a line that morning he's since said to us a few times..."I guess y'all know yer own business, but if I was you I'd.......". He also said that when we put a snow fence 5 feet from our driveway, pointing out that for a snow fence to work it had to be 50 or 75 feet from what you want to protect. DUH...I LOVE it out here, you can actually see the stars at night, have even turned up the stereo in our barn, layed on top the barn with my offspring, stargazing. Beautiful stuff...
