Who R U?

So Patrick, how about a ride in that '67 Nova? I used to race a '66 Stingray with 427 (405 HP) four speed. Those where great years when you could open the hood and actually see the engine.

Welcome to Audiogon, pleased to hear comments from another dedicated vinyl junkie.

Some really fascinating new Bios above-- welcome. I can identify a bit with Lugnut (neat name), as I went to U of Idaho ('63-'66), bought a '69 Vitimin C Orange Plymouth Road runner in '69, and have pursued photography as a hobby for 30+ years. I drove that Roadrunner 10 years, kept it in mint condition, then sold it to a 17 year old who wrapped it around a power pole 2 weeks later-- what a waste:>(.

And Zaikesman. Wow, what a wealth of experience-- actually participating in all those kinds of music! I'm impressed for sure as I've only "played at guitar" for 40 years, but really no more than Rock jam sessions in my younger years.

A philosophy professor too! And a Ferrari and Porsche owner/racer! This place is getting damn interesting. I look forward to hearing from all you guys. What's fascinating to me is the tremendous experience and broad diversity of other interests that A'gon members bring with them. We really are more than "audio-nerds". Welcome, and Cheers. Craig

Hello everyone,
My name is John. I was bitten by the bug at the age of 10 and it's been a never ending pursuit ever since. I've been on the 'gon for about a year and have built my entire system here. I work as a bill collector for Time Warner Cable in NYC. This is the first job I've been able to hold for more than a yr.(been w/twc for 3yrs now) it seems that i was made for this job and it has afforded me the ability to put together "my ultimate music/ht system".(chk virtual systems on the 'gon) I love Audiogon and all of you guys and gals. If it wasn't for all of you I would not have been able to put my system together. I'm 37 yrs old and have had trouble meeting anyone, other than sales people, that know as much about hi-fi as I do. Not to sound pompus, I just haven't. So, having found the 'gon and all of you wonderful 'philes, w/this overwelming abundance of knowledge about my beloved obsession, I feel like I've found some long lost family. Everyone I know, including my wife, thinks I'm crazy w/how much I've spent on my system. If I start explaining anything about hi-fi, I get alot of blank stares and agreeing, but not understanding, nods. Aside from audio, I'm the stereotypical male. I love sports, cars, action movies and women. Shush, don't tell my wife that last one. I've gone through this thread and just love being able to learn something about all of you. Thank you all for sharing a little bit of yourselves here....john

jrwr7 (john)- congratulations on your new-found job stability and decision to admit to being a 'phile. i welcome you to the group that chooses to post instead of lurking and look forward to your contributions to the discussions ahead.

John-Great to have you here, it seems that you and I(among most other members) share the same interests! If you are looking for more possible local audiophiles check out the Where RU????? thread, it has helped me meet a few. Look forward to seeing more of your posts.
