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??

My name is Daniel, I'm 56 & I live here in the Phoenix area.
Rawsinode, I'm giving my age because I'll soon post my own thread asking members if they have the same concern as me and close (audiophile) friends of mine, my age. My hearing is still quite good, but I know age is going to change that.
I'm going to try to make my system as good as I can afford,
while I still can appreciate it.
I work as a Water Monitor for the City of Phoenix.
My 4/10 schedule gives me 3 day weekends to relax, and I usually spend them listening to music or watching Blu Ray & DVD.
I am really into gear.

I'm 20 years old and an ASU sophomore studying economics. I have been involved in music my whole life. My father is a home theater maniac (I was in an audio magazine at 7 watching Austin Powers in our theater), one of my uncles is a recording engineer, and the other 2 are really into audio. I play about 10 instruments and spent much of high school helping in my uncle's studio in Oakland, where I'm from. Now in my college apartment here in Tempe, I'm building up a solid system. For years I've used my family's extra gear, but I got tired of it. Now I'm running a DAC Magic and kenwood turntable (next upgrade) into my uncle's tube preamp, marantz ma 500 monoblocks, and Paradigm studio reference v2 towers and loving em

Greetings from Blasted. I just turned 56 so I guess I have been an audiophile for ... 45years... if you count an am radio plastered to my ear. I am on my fourth complete build and they have all given me endless hours of fun and just plain pleasure. Being a pack rat, I still have three of the original four. I am finally all tube mono block too and this was a great choice. I spent 18 months auditioning and rating gear. I am getting much faster. Keep on listening and let that smile emerge.

I'm 37 with a wife and two daughters, and I gave up my mancave when we moved. So instead of my functional, but homely, Paradigm HT setup I'm putting together a new system that the wife can actually entertain company around. This will be only my second mid-fi build, as I got a ton of milage out of my first build (8 years and only changed receivers once).
