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??

Greetings Karl and welcome to the fold. Cornfedboy in his inimitable way has said it all. I do indeed need to be healed, but not from my audiophilia nervosa though. May the banks be gentle on you, may your practice abound with rich clients and last not least, may your stereo florish.
Regards,

Welcome Karl! I am also in the medical profession but not at your level.I have an extensive background in psychiatry, but for the life of me,I am unable to find any reference in my old,dusty books about Audiophile Neurosis.I know it must be considered a major disorder though,as all one has to do is spend some time here to see for ones self!!! Happy posting and be careful!

There are many reasons people pursue excellence and perfection. The fact that we do it in relation to A) Cool machines that B) Produce pleasurable music is just icing on the cake. Perseverating on RFI, ground loops and SET versus MOSFET keeps our minds from straying to more distressing thoughts (like what am I doing with my life ETC.) I like this neurosis. Very theraputic.
