The best State or region for Audiophile

To all those living in earthquake zones, do vibration control devices really work. To all those in quake-free Antarctica, how do you get power. Finally, what cables work best in each time zone and earth’s parallels

Which State is the most power reliable?

Other than my living room, especially late at night, I can’t think of a better place.

I would say LA because of it's incredible resources for audiophilia AND live music, except for the living in your car part. I would rather listen to music rather than the inevitable hours spent sitting in cars in SoCal. If you had a good listening space and didn't have to compete for every square inch of space, and could stay in a local area without traveling a lot, that would be OK.

New York would also be good because of incredible resources, but you have the space and proximity restrictions which would require higher orders of wealth just to have a good space to listen.

The Bay Area is a nice compromise in terms of audiophile resources, weather, and mobility without the LA freeway berzerkers, though the Bay Area is catching up in that regard.

The Pac Northwest is probably similar to the Bay Area, with even greater natural beauty but the months of gloom.

There was a guy who used to frequent the Apogee group. He bought a whole school with many separate buildings(abandoned) for peanuts in the Great Plains of Canada and set up many large spaces with stereo systems and Apogees. Maybe he had the best spot of all, especially with those long winters with nothing to do but listen.
