I wanted to try something I saw elsewhere. If it goes over well, great. If not, I tried.

If you are willing to audition your Odyssey equipment for newcomers, post up your location and gear so they can send you a message to connect.
I'm located just East of Pittsburgh in the small town of Indiana, PA. I have Odyssey Kismet (in Stratos) monos and an Odyssey Candela Pre-amp. Open to newbies and I used to sell audio equipment, so I'm pretty good with questions. Also open to just hanging out with anyone who just wants to listen and commiserate with a fellow audiophile (with a drink or not!).
