This is a good place to start. I've met a number of forum participants in person and some have a local music club where I live. If you don't have one in your area, consider starting one. You can use Facebook or Meetup to find like minded individuals.
How to find local audiophiles
I was wondering how you find others blessed (or afflicted) with the audiophile bug in your local area. If you live in a major metro area, I know there are clubs or audio stores that can make connections. I live in Lexington, Ky., and I haven't heard of a club. Surprisingly, for a city this size, not really high end audio stores specializing in two channel gear. It might be nice to exchange thoughts with like minded people face to face.
