Who R U?

great post. as a somewhat frequent visitor/poster, i'm interested to learn a bit more about the folks whose advice i (sometimes) follow. i'm a 30 year old lawyer (i know, i know, but at least i'm being honest). i was born and raised in michigan, spent 5 years living in new york, another four months in san francisco and i've been living in hong kong for nearly 2 and half years. i'm looking forward to moving back to new york later this year. when i'm not at home sitting in the sweet spot (either by myself re-falling in love with sounds that never cease to amaze me, or explaining what those "lightbulb like thingys on top of that box on the floor" are), i'm likely traveling. i grew up in a klipsch horn household, so i was bitten by the bug early on. my first mid-fi adventures were in high school/college and it's been all uphill (downhill?) ever since. enjoy. randy.

I,am 35 years old,live in new jersey,started my love for music and audio equipment since my high school days where i would dj at local party's and wedding's.Did a 1 year intern at the apollo theater in harlem N.Y. as a sound engineer after graduating from the institute of audio research.Hope someone had warned me.[no money in this bussness] went back to school and presently,i make a living as a aircraft maintenence technician.HAPPY LISTENING.

I am 48 years old and live in midtown Manhattan. My father was a recording engineer, so I grew up with Altec Lansing Voice of the Theater's and Revox A77 reel to reel tape recorders. I was the "tape machine operator" on John Denver's recording of "Rocky Mountain High" in the early 70's. I grew into the high fi hobby early, and apart from my father's professional interest. Had my first "system" at 18. I have tended to buy the best equipment that I could afford and justify and then keep it for 10-20 years. I am back seriously in the audiophile game for about a year, after a good 10 year hiatus. I have my own business providing data processing consulting services primarily to New York's financial industry.

Fpeel; Is the common denominator of Hi-end audio and hang gliding perhaps "soaring"? Cheers. Craig.

Hey Guys, It's nice to meet my fellow audiophile crazies. I'm a past president of the NJ audio society, and have written for The Audiophile Voice, Positive Feedback, and SoundStage.com. I'm presently the editor at StereoTimes.com. In case you are interested, my colleague at StereoTimes.com, Adnan Arduman (from Turkey), has a nice website with pictures and bios of many audiophiles from Greece and Turkey, with another section devoted to 'philes (and their systems) from around the world (myself included). It's quite an interesting site, called "Nuance and Fluence". If you'd like to check it out, go to: http://www.arduman.com/aa scroll down and click on the link, "My Friend's Systems".
