Who R U?

Hey, Tireguy, there's a group for everyone. I left out the group for which I'm the charter member: the village idiot!
Cornfed- I just had a visit from the local chapter of the aaoic. Instead of a lecture, they offered me a honorary position. It seems that they were willing to over look my early DBT days. Of course, I left them behind long ago- right along with my sanity.

I don't always agree with Jcbtubes. But this time he is dead on. I couldn't agree with him more. I am referring to the charter member part. He sure got that one right.
Ya babeeeeeeeeee.

My name is Eric (21) and I'm from Waterloo Canada, which is about an hour away from Toronto. Currently in my third year of a Biotechnology program at University of Waterloo. Audiogon has done a world of good to help me get my system up and running. I finally realized that tubes was for me and decided to go for the Rogue Magnum Integrated :) Hopefully that works out for the best. In my spare time I like to Mountain Climb, sail, race mountain bikes and swim. I work for the Coast Guard in the summers doing Search and Rescue and run a website design firm with my brother. I really like the non sarcastic/condescending atmosphere on Audiogon, unlike other internet site forums... People here seem to be intelligent and truly experienced. Thanks everybody for making this site what it is. If you're ever around the Toronto area and want to talk audio, drop me an email.

Hi there, Eric. We're always happy to hear (read) a new voice (poster).

Buckingham- Glad to see another younger member here(between you and me the old folks think they own the place, we need to set the record straight:) I am also a tubey sort of guy....well for the moment anyway(the exception would be an accuphase A50v), I just was never happy with the sound of solid state in my system, but now with a tube amp and a ss pre, it is great! Are you into vinyl by any chance? I find that all younger audiophiles are strictly digital(as is the case with me), I'll admit is sounds better but I can't afford it at the moment, between the gear and I would need all new software it would be difficult at the moment. Look forward to talking with you some more, enjoy your addiction!
