@hifiman5 we also live in a 200 year old farmhouse in Lancaster Co, PA (Stevens, PA). One neighbor is Amish and the other is a 35'er (which as you probably know are even more conservative and strict than the Amish).

headphonedreams , you won  in the birth  lottery .

Last year moved from the DC/Baltimore area (Maryland) to Biltmore Lake, NC, just outside Asheville, "the San Francisco of the south"...

Anchorage Alaska 

Top left-hand corner of Wyoming. Never gets better for me than this.

I live on the sound wave of music between north pole and antartica and in between in quebec....

Acoustic is my language and music my real country....

Poetry summarize the two....

The great North Wet

And you are thrice divorced woodsage, no?

Not to mention all bound up from eating all that government cheese. 

Bellevue WA, an eastern suburb of Seattle. 

Grew up in Blauvelt New York, next to the Tappan Zee. Living in Weare New Hampshire for last 40 years.

Rapid City SD. 

Kansas City Metro Area!!....not exactly the audiophile capitol of the country. But, it is definitely becoming a high end hometheater hub in the country.

 

Many homes around here have significant sized basements. Relatively young guys have started finishing/converting basements into hometheater rooms, learning about audio, upgrading speakers, measuring/treating their rooms, integrating subwoofers correctly, etc and are able to produce some very high quality sound even for a 2 channel application in their theater rooms. There is definitely the trend of multipurpose theater/entertainment rooms for movies, music, games, etc here.

 

Proud of my underdog city where dudes are perhaps not as well off as dudes in other affluent parts of the country...but, they are definitely breathing new life into a dying hobby....

 

Maywood NJ. 12 miles away from NYC.
