Actually when I was talking about the atmosphere
I meant literally. Went to Breckenridge and had to
have oxygen. However, I agree. We new englanders are
a tight assed bunch. |
paulwp: yes, i quite agree that ñew mexico has great mexicañ-style food, but your folks are all screwed up what with the greeñ chili beiñ' the "mild." -cfb
ps- sante fe is one of my favorite places on earth. and chimayo is almost as mystical as the mesa verde. |
Kelly, I'm assuming you mean best Mexican style food in order to jump over all of the places to eat in New Mexico. I've been to Colorado. I'll take Rancho de Chimayo or any of a hundred places in NM, including a roadside diner in Penasco (Penyasco -can't make that little thing over the n). You can buy, though. My family is from NM, but I live in the South Bay of L.A. |
hey, abe and judith: i've lived in denver since 1975. send me an email indicating when you'd like to get together and i'll treat you both to some of the best mexican food north or jaurez and an atmosphere or two that'll demonstrate how tight-assed and xenophobic are the denizens of the "southern new england coastline." -cfb |
the southern new england coastline.
I was once in Denver, but there wasn't enough atmosphere
there to sustain life |
Littleton Colorado. 15-miles sw of The Mile High City. Home of the Denver Broncos, Colorado Avalanche, The Rockies, and that other team that dribbles. We start at 5000-ft and go up higher from there. The air is thin, my head is light, and golf balls just rocket down the fairway like no other place on earth! Love those hipi chicks up in Boulder but if you lean more to the right of center you'll find some nice conservative gals down in Colorado Springs. But I still haven't found great Mexican food... The locals here seem to like Taco Bell. Sorry, I got carried away. I love this place, life is good. |
I am in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. |
Lyons..as in pride of. We have a sister city in France pronounced lee-on. Great site, this. Have spent hours here in the past few weeks... |
Hmmm....Hi Kelly: here in Boston I NEVER lock my back door--figure the speakers are too heavy, and the monos are bolted to the rafters in the basement...and who's going to take an emc-1 down off a high shelf? Not enough knobs to sell on the street. And those Nordost silver wires? Looks like cheap computer stuff, no? Maybe I'm naive.... |
jimmymaclite: great post but you don't name your little town. couldn't be petticoat junction, could it? -cfb |
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... |
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. |
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 |
Miami, Roads area; 81 degrees today. What a beautiful day it was!
KP |
Sunny Tucson Arizona, back from a short stent in LA (Great city, too many people). Miss the audio exposure there though.
Todd |
Mezmo-have you made it to Toys From the Attic yet? |
New York City -- right around the corner from Sound by Singer (the spot everyone loves to hate, though some skip the love) and not too far up the way from Stereo Exchange. Dangerously close.... |
Long Beach (Belmont Heights), California |
Gary Condit-ville (Remember Chandra?) - Modesto, CA |
My English is truly better than the last post indicates...while I'll cop to digital dyslexia with regard to spelling Michigan I know when to capitalize city names and pronouns...it looked fine in the preview, what gives? |
Greetings from Grand Rapids, Micihgan. I seem to be the first Michiganian to report in; my aren't we a geographically challenged lot?
Always interested in things audio...you can listen to mine if I can listen to yours!

Walkertown, NC (the triad area) |

Have e-mailed several of my fellow Ohio residents and have gotten no response.Why ask to be contacted,if you have no intention of returning a response or worse yet:wanting to know a persons' system ,then leaving things "high n dry".It makes me hesitant to participate in these forums!Sincerely,Disillusioned. |
W.Jefferson, Ohio, near Columbus.. |
I live in Tokyo, Japan, a small metropolitan area of 30 million or so. Lots of 'cookie-cutter' high end stores but few good ones... what's worse, despite the 3rd recession in a decade and a financial system on the verge of collapse, many US makers choose to set their Japan prices 2-3x as high as US prices... |
Minneapolis home of the once powerful Vikings, soon to be eliminated Twins and the "Dallas Stars?" and the Minneapolis Lakers. Thank God I've got music! |

Park Slope in Brooklyn, New York. Love Brooklyn, fourth largest city in the country. Would enjoy meeting any Brooklynites, or any New Yorkers for that matter, that visit this site. You all have an open invitation to visit, hang and listen to some tunes.
Happy Holidays. |
boston? is that in the us of a? :) -cfb |

Checkin in from Oakland California, just 9 minutes east of San Francisco, where a SWF is about as rare as an audiophile without upgrade fever. |
Try finding a high end audio shop in Fargo, North Dakota...:-)
This place is great. Learned a lot and have met some very nice people. |
I Live in beautiful Loveland, Ohio. It's a small suburb on the north end of Cincinnati. |
Metairie LA, right outside New Orleans |
Just a stone's throw from Albany, if you have a very good, arm, but the mountains are in the way. South Shore of Montreal, P.Q. You should try to make it up here for the Montreal Jazz Festival. Your big Yankee dollar goes a long way up here. Keep Canada green, bring money.
Have a great holiday season. |
Okotoks Alberta (just south of Calgary). Have thoroughyly enjoyed my last 2 years here. Seasons Greetings and a safe holiday wish for all members and their respective families! |
Just west of Sacramento in Davis, California. |
Well if nothing else we are diverse! Glad to hear from so many. David I drive fast and I think I could make it out in 3 hours! as long as I don't run into the fuzz......again:( I was making great time down to white plains and then out of NO where a nice law enforcement officer had an oppertunity to introduce himself to me, we had a long chat and parted friends ;) But that is another story all together I had to beat him to death with his own shoes! |
Charlotte NC. Actually I'm a transplant from Brooklyn NY. I know a few "philes" and there are hi-end shops as well. Have a great Christmas and a safe New Year. |
Seasons Greetings to All,
I am from Atlanta Ga. We have several High-end stores here,(we even have an Audiophile Club) but many brands still not available. One of my best buddies shares my obsession. Audiogon is great source of entertainment for me, as well as a place to buy and sell gear.
Cheers,
Dan |
Where much of the music is created. |
Raleigh, North Carolina. This is a pretty neat area for audio and live music of all types. There are several good, long-time high-end dealers in NC, in addition to VAC, Cary Audio, Soliliquy. |
