I moved to South Florida a few years ago from Los Angeles- what a difference in the audiophile community! In California, there was a plethora of dealers, enthusiasts, club meetings, shows, etc. Here, not much at all, which surprised me. I;ve been to the FL Audio Expo, which is great, but that's in Tampa-- 4 hr drive. Would be happy to find like-minded folks in SoFla, but happy just to chat online here about systems, music, etc.
Lately, I've been thinking about what my upgrade path might be in the near future. I'm 67, so my high frequencies are pretty much shot, plus I have some persistent tinnitus, which doesn't help either. So for future purchases (preamp and/or speakers) I think I want to concentrate less on the ultimate in extraction of low level detail, and more on dynamics, timbral realism, soundstaging, separation/non-congestion. I stream Qobuz, play LPs and CDs.
