Hi

I live in the Santa Clara bay area in the Silicon Valley, I want to see anyone here that are living close by that are into high end audiophile stuffs particular designing and building audio electronics. It's hard to find anyone that is into this, it would be nice to find people to share this interest and get together to listen to different systems or talk about designs. I design power amps and have a few built already.

Thanks

Alan

I used to work with an amazing EE who was an accomplished audiophile, but he retired and moved to the midwest. He was one of the top two analog engineers that I have ever worked with, and designed audio systems for his church and other large venues on his own time. I'll ask around...
