I started in 1986 with NAD separates and Klipsch Heresy II
(The whole system became 'casualty' of divorce #1 in 1989)
1990 broke, living alone. Then on program "6 months same as cash" i purchased Magnepan MG 1.4 with Adcom separates.

1991 i moved to one bedroom studio, and had to give up on MG's. Purchased, from used HIFI store German Quadral medium sized tower.

Things were looking up better in 1992, so i went with Vandersteen 2ci

1995, Vandy's and all CD's, along with Adcom separates went up with my divorce #2. I settled with Denon Receiver and Boston Acoustic VR60

1996, bought all Linn and Linn Tukan

1998 bought Velodyne SUB

2000, Triangle Zephyr, Monitor Audio Gold 3SE and kept ACI Sapphire II/ ACI Titan SUB

2002 built my own Watt/Puppy 'clones'. Seas CB17RCY (same mids as in Wilson CUB) Focal 120TDX, and pair of Peerless woofers.
