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 all,
I am 46 years old and Hi Fi has been my only serious hobby for the last 30 years. I have been through so much gear that it's embarassing. I have been bitten by the single ended bug. I've owned tubed gear most of my life but this stuff IS really special. I build some stuff too. I live in Richmond, Virginia now but lived in the NY metropolitan area most of my life. I would like to find a few people around here with similar interests. My wife and I are empty nesters and there is NO high end around here so I left my hobbyist friends behind in NJ. If anyone wants to talk hi-fi or music, just write.
Thanks,
Chris

I'm Mark Hubbard, 52, new to Audiogon. I'm a contracts administrator for an international media development organization. My wife, Sue, and I will have been married 18 years in May. Sue has always supported me in putting together the best stereo system our sometimes-limited budget would allow. The advent of CD in the early 80s spurred and renewed our interest in music, and we purchased an average of two carefully researched classical CDs a week for the better part of 14 years.

I've been out of the hobby for the past 8 years and only just recently returned. Audiogon has changed everything!

I wish I could get more of you guys interested in RECORDING. The field is going through an amazing renaissance at this time, with high-quality equipment finally within the reach of home recordists, often at a tiny fraction of the prices we are used to paying for playback equipment. If you're interested, one of the best resources I've found is http://homerecording.com/ If you try it, be sure to visit the BBS as well, where lively discussions on numerous recording topics are always in progress.

I didn't mean to turn this into a pitch -- it's just that I found a lot of great people on this thread who might be interested in creating part of what they listen to.

Thank you for taking the time to read about me, and for sharing about yourselves.

With kind regards,
