Who R U?

Another David, 46, married 26 years, hmm, today? Yikes, I better get home… bummer dude… I've been around Audiogon for a while - just never really poked around the threads much. My wife and I live in Southern Maryland. We own a small mom-pop C-store. I've been addicted to music all my life.

My father used to have a Scott amp/receiver with the Warfdale speakers with the famous Purple Dome tweeters… still don’t know what that means..? He also had a Roberts Reel-Reel that we made endless recordings with every Saturday & Sunday – that was back in the mid 60’s… I purchased a B&O system back in 1977. The old B&O 4400 system – which I still have today - though don't use too much anymore...

I’m just now starting to get into this “new” separates world of audio systems. I now have the Pipedreams #15’s with a VAC Avatar Super and recently picked up a Spectron Musician II for the subs, and a Resolution Audio Opus 21 DAC & CD player. I love most any music – if its music… This is a great website. I’ve always appreciated the respect and mannerisms folks display here. If anyone lives in the Southern Maryland, Virginia, DC, area send me an email so we can hook up…

Great Thread

i was born in switzerland in 1960. was also starting to hang glide in 1975.just read the first threads .did work in a metalweavery for too long ,got so bored, that i started to spend all the money i earned "sometimes more" in stuff that i realy cold'nt afford,like driving porsches and motorbikes. bevor that i met a girl she
was from germany ,she also liked that life style ,did not have another joyce i guess. so when she moved in, we bought our first accoustic research speakers,not knowing much about hifi,but sounded best from a small display . that was in 1981 ,then after those boring 10 years consummating luxury stuff i had purchased my first house , went self employed " still wondering how i managed to buy a house with at least $20'000 in debth", but i did good for 5 more years self employed, i never liked the job as weather shelter installer and seller.then in 1994 my friend asked me to emigrate to canada. shure i sayd , so i sold house porsche and all my new mark levinson ,martin logan ,proceed. sota etc.gear . went to canada. just like that. i was shure to get a simple live started without luxury . well, after arriving in vancouver and having a bit of cash i bought a house in the interior of bc. just bevor leaving vancouver i picked up a pair monos from sonic frontiers could not resist had to drive those infinty rennaisance 90 i brought over. i never installed my stereo until 3years ago .forgot to mention i also picked up a nice looking oracle delphi back in vancouver. the whole thing never sounded right with a ps audio pre amp and old denon cdp. in the mean time since arriving in canada , i had obligations to get the landed imigrant status.i started an equipment rental bussines,had to hire a canadian worker for six month and my wife got pregnant almost lost the house having spent the mortgage money on all this equipment ,had really a tough going with that business ,not good talking english din't help either. with help of another frind i met here , i got true it financialy. now since about a year i am a member of audiogon got hooked again and bought some high end gear . god whenn does it ever end? i have now three boys a working business and a hobby i enjoy and i love to read this forum.i hope this was not waisting to much of your time. thanks for having this forum.erwin.

I am sure some of you have heard of the website myspace.com, I joined in an effort to help a friend launch his website and have found it is great getting to know more about people and groups of people... In any case I would encourage you to join if you are interested in knowing more about fellow audiophiles who participate in this community. I've even took the liberty of making an official audiogon group so we will be able to track each other down. Just add http://groups.myspace.com/audiogon as your group and you'll find other audiogoner's for right now I am the only one and one is the lonliest number :) This is myspace for those who are not familiar with what it is.

For those in doubt of this sort of thing, just give it a shot its free and you can delete it if it you wish. I've got in touch with people I haven't talked to in years, I am able to keep in touch with those I don't see often and its easy.... the one tip I will offer is don't use it during peak hours when you have 8+ million people on any site at one time it slows things down a bit, in particular when your creating a profile.

Let's see if this flies.

Hi Everyone,great thread so here goes,my name is tony and i have been reading this site for 5 years and just recently joined.Age....wow,you guys are gonna make me say it..47 ouch!!!Married to the girl of my dreams 9 years younger,high five anyone?Long story on that....2-kids grown and almost gone.We both enjoy all types of music.But what has attracted me to this site for so many years is the quality of the people here,just a great group of wacky music and movie lovers.Not to mention the wealth of knowledge that can be had when everyone chimes in.I also live in the chicago burbs,work as a construction forman and love dogs,my current being a white german shepherd with a personality that still kills me.How much better can you get...love..music...animals?My wife says if you love those things then you are a good,decent,human being.I tend to agree.Looking forward to talking with you wacko"s..have a good day all.
