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??

Hey Tim.warhurst@ nice to know you Aussies are there. I know that New Zeland and Australia are about as close as New york and L.A. but your a hell of a lot closer than Minneapolis to the Kiwi's. Try out the Plinus amps or even the integrated amp they have. I had the SA100 prior to my Aloia, really clean class A or AB and not at all electronic sound. I think the have some of the best bang for the buck out there. Good luck, and thanks for a great Olympics! J.D.

Treljia,David99...I work in the boring world of pigment production,studied Chemistry at college in general terms(Physical,Organic,Inorganic). My real expertise is in popular music,specialised subject- Dylan.D99 yeah well the girlfriend is pretty supported of the hi-fi because she knows I love music so much..sometimes she even hears a difference when I change/upgrade....actually I've just had a really stressful day being messed about by a guy who was supposed to buy my old amps...it's took the edge off my new purchase which I've been listening to and now have to abandon testing due to it being 23:30 here..oh well there's always tomorrow.. Regards, Ben

Hi Bencampbell, specialised subject-Dylan, Me too. Maybe one of us should start a Dylan thread. Gotta go, theres smoke pouring out of a box car door. P.S. Don't follow leaders watch the parking meters. Nice to meet you Ben.

Personally I'm glad that David99 had the nerve to start this potentially contentious thread, and as he mentioned me in it, I feel a small amount of joint responsibility for it too. I think the thread has been highly successful, extremely interesting, and very worthwhile. So, I sincerely hope no one pollutes it with pettiness and negativity. I have really enjoyed getting to know other Audiogon members, and as far as I'm concerned, this is one of the most valuable threads of the year. Thanks David. Cheers and Happy holidays to all. Craig.

Craig,I agree! Maybe we "hot heads" can save the potentially damaging comments/views for the other audio related threads.Lets keep this one clean please! Ive been turned on to a new CD.Its unusual for me to be excited at a first listen to something new.Usually I have to get a bit used to it.Its the first,self titled release from a modern rock band called "Days Of The New" Its really unusual and I think some of you that would never consider modern rock may enjoy it.Craig,check it out.The copy I have on loan is a CD-R.If you dont enjoy it as much as I think you may,I will buy it off you.Happy Holidays all!!
