Any vets among the Audiophiles here?


With the anniversary of D-Day, and Flag day taking place recently there has been a lot of thought given to the people who fought and in many cases died to our freedom. I don't just mean in the US.

Keeping those things in mind I was wondering if we have any vets here. I know Slappy was in the service, and look what it did to him!!!: ) I don't know if you want to mention it here, but I want to take a moment to thank you for the service you provided to your country.

All of the freedoms we have including the chance to simply sit around and listen to music was won for all of us.

Thank You!

Bummer. I completely misinterpreted the heading. I was going to ask advice concerning my Akita.
He's wolfish. A spitz breed like Huskies, Malamutes, Samoyeds. More feral certainly than your basic boxer or spaniel. And much more dangerous, but no wolf. I'm sure they'd take him down in a short minute.

On the original topic, now that I realize what it is, I earned a 1-Y classification for having a blind eye. I still have it.
Hello,
I was in the Air Force, on Okinawa, in 1968 when I bought my first system. Garrard SL95 turntable, Shure cartridge, Coral speakers and a Lux tubed integrated amp.
served in the U.S.Army 1974 thru 1986 as a Telecommunictions Operator, and then did the same thing as a civilian for the Navy for 4 more years GO FIGURE.
I bought alot of stereo gear while in the service.
The biggest baddest speakers I had were these monsterous JBL 4343 Monitors I bought special order in Germany in 1979.
Even back then they cost me almost 2K, Which was almost what I paid for my new car a FIAT 128.
Oh those were the days. I wish I would have kept the speakers. Just the drivers alone would sell for 2k today.
