Do you, or did you, have Audiophile buddies that you shared music, gear, times with?


In my lifetime, from the military, to business, to racing, vacations and more, sharing all with a close friend was part of the magic of those times.
Have you had someone close to you that made or makes your audiophile experience(s) even better?  My primary audiophile friend has passed, but I enjoyed so many great musical times with him.  From Magnepans, to Martin Logan,  Dahlquist, Conrad Johnson, ARC and so many more....a major part of the joy, learning and more was the friend that I shared nearly all of it with.  The fact that we both liked sports cars, Bordeaux and modern architecture/furniture was also great, but the music/audio connection was, likely,  the best.  I think the holidays make me think of friends and family experiences and music has been much a part of those times. 

Have a good and safe holiday season.

I have one left in Washington state. Been bud, for 47 years. I heard him playing a guitar on his porch. I was amazed.. I was a mechanic, he was a tree surgeon. Been best of friends every sense. Me moved to take care of his MIL.  Now to move back is just a pain in the rear.

Heck if it wasn't for family I might be tempted, to move that direction.. My problem, I keep liking warmer winter climates, and cooler summers.  I can drag my music with me.. San Antonio type climate. My bones just quit aching. :-) He's saying the same thing, He's never gotten use to all the rain.. Warmer climate.. I sure like it up there though.. Sheldon...

He was a Polk Audio guy, still is. STA, or RTA, I can't remember, HUGE speakers... Lots of drivers.. My Bud...Once a month or so....we talk..
Music, what he has recorded, the dogs, our health, our stories... LOL

My Friend...
