Yes, check out Nrchy's link! The NEWAS has been great, and it started after a few of us checked the Audio Clubs section here on the 'goN. Lots of easygoing guys (plus Nrchy) with all manner of different gear, which we seem to end up trading around. I've got one of Nrchy's power cords, one of rooze's amps and powercords and still one set of his speakers cables left after trying a number of his, Lou's and Nrchy's. I've heard several very cool systems and met some cool characters. Some guys have given me stacks of vinyl. Some have stayed up until early morning hours chattering over good music and beer. Some have driven for two hours with amps, cables, and a stack of music to try in my system, and vice-versa. It's been very educational, and I never would have been hanging out regularly with other audiophiles or been exposed to all this great gear if not for the club.
I really recommend getting even an informal group in your area together, it can be very enriching!
