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??

Hi my name is Frank and have been involved with this hobby for over 22 years. I am 46 live in Nj with three kids and my wife of twenty four years. My first system was a NAD 3140 intergrated driving DCM Time Windows with an NAD turntable. I still have the NAD and my sister has the DCM. I just ordered a Antique Sound Labs 30w tube intergrated and will finally retire my NAD(but still keep it). My main system is a CAT SKi mk11 preamp with CJ Premier 11a driving Revel Performa F30 with a Classe cdp 5 and VPI Hw 19 with Benz Glider all hooked up with Mit 330 and 750 tube terminators. The budget system will now be the asl 30 watt driving BW 302 withMIT 330 interconnect to Marantz CD 63 and Audioquest Slate wires. If anyone has any suggestions I always listen
pfkdmiac: yo, frank. you certainly belong here. multiple systems. still playin' vinyl. planning for the next upgrade. and the one after the one after that. doesn't seem like you need any suggestions. but keep on askin'. somebody's sure to answer. -cfb
Hi Frank! If you're not already a member (can't tell from the handle) I'd like to invite you to join the NJ Audio Society (part of this is selfish, I'd like to force you to host a meeting so we can hear those systems!). Welcome aboard! Whereabouts in NJ you from, if I may ask?
I am 21 and have been doing hifi for about 10 years now. I got hooked when my father bought a B&O system (yes, I know what you're thinking) and I came to understand that there were stereos made by companies other than Sony. I just graduated from college and am a software engineer with Hewlett Packard in Ft. Collins, Colorado. I used to be really active on Audiogon but left for a while when the board got shut down, but I am glad to be back. My hobbies are music, movies, reading and trying to explain to people that Bose is not the end-all in stereos.
