Jerome W and 1KW meet up in Paris
There is something special about this online community. Last night my wife , my son and I were welcomed into Jerome's home . Cross continent last minute encounters with members meeting in person can not be too common . I feel I have known Jerome longer than Just last night since we have both been active members on this forum since it started. Jerome has a lovely wife and family, they could not have been more gracious hosts. We started with champagne and a tour of his 2 listening rooms. This was my first time hearing Shindu and his hand built speakers. The turntable which was built locally as well has a floating platter supported by opposing circular magnets. After listening to a few songs on vinyl it was off for a gourmet meal and wine at one of Jerome's favorite restaurants. The dinner and conversation made for a very memorable evening . Before we knew it time had flown by; it was nearly midnight and we were the last to leave the restaurant . I look forward to meeting up with Jerome and his wife again. It would be fun to have them over at my place. Next time dinner is on me :D Thanks again Jerome :music:

David.......What a wonderful meet and great in Paris. Although I have not had the pleasure to meet Narcisa and Jerome's children, I did have the pleasure of a visit from Jerome at my home in Florida. He is an intelligent, kind, and humble man with a good heart. Like your visit, mine went by way too fast. I am happy you and Jerome had the opportunity to meet and spend an evening together. I hope to visit Jerome in Paris one day, too.
This is Jerome during his visit to my home getting to meet Marlene's horse Gus. https://c1.staticflickr.com/6/5447/9...d8d0f7f4_c.jpg |
David
Your post is a reminder of our evening with Jerome and Narcisa in Paris. As you note they are most gracious hosts and wonderful to spend time with. I wish we could have scheduled more time in Paris again this year but we only have a couple of hours layover on our return from Spain and Portugal this June. Next year I think I need to set aside extra time in both Belgium and France for get togethers. |
Jérôme and Narcissa are fantastic hosts.
I visited him last year, when he was testing a DIY Altec speaker (with the designer at his left side). http://www.metazahren.com/photograph...IMG_2883_1.jpg |
Hi Guys,
Well ! I ´m completely "red" now ! [emoji5] Too many compliments ! It is always a great pleasure to meet great people from AA. I have been blessed to meet IRL Dan, Jim and Linda, Bart, and now David and Lisa with their son. We have lots of things in common. I have been in contact with David since the very first days of AA, always feeling very close to him. I admire him for keeping this hobby for what it is : a hobby. Without getting nuts about permanent "upgrades". Enjoy the rest of your trip in Paris David. And come back anytime ! Next time see you in Pennsylvania with God's will ! Best wishes. |
