Who R U?


A while back Garfish mentioned he lked the idea of getting to know some of us better.As no one has started a thread like this before I will take the plunge.I have been involved in and read many heated exchanges here in AudioGon.I hope no one attacks me for this thread saying "who cares about you,this is audio" Anyway,Im 45 and live in W.N.Y.I have never been married but have a music loving 11 year old daughter who lives with me.I have been a nurse for 20 years.Before that I was a Navy Corpsman for several years.I recently became engaged (first time) to a beautiful 30 year old music loving woman.At my age a 30 year old is a keeper and I have never been happier!! My other interests??Im into vinyl,who has time for anything else??

Yes , Greg, those cleaner-scooters are indeed an intelligent solution, the Parisians would have never adopted the Swiss plastic bag do it yourself penitent way. They don't have that guilt complex about being "untidy", like my compatriots. Remember that medical student song: "Je suis homme d'nature....etc...."
I am a 44 year old single male who has the audiophile bug.
After 10 years of dreaming I decided to invest in a
real audio system.However,it seems that every unplanned
emergency has come up and I am pissed!
I am now on a mission!
Aragon power amp,Conrad -Johnson or Rogue tube preamp,Rega cd player,Nordost Red Dawn cables,Paradigm Studio 40 or Meadowlark speakers.

Johnny7 You have a great dream list in mind.Your choice of amp,CD player and cables is right on! May I suggest a Rogue Audio 66 or 99 preamp and the Paradigm 40's, 60's or 80's

i use an arc sp3c, adcom555II, fried model h sub/sat system, and my front end is vpi hw19III/smeIV/various carts/cd with a dac in the box, etc.
