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??

39 year old project manager from georgia living in Trinidad thanks to the construction economy in the states. Wife and three sons are here and they all like my audio fixation. Best part about coming to Trinidad is that it forced me into smaller systems due to shipping and importation tax. Teak here is less than 5 dollars US per board foot so I have been making horns and single driver enclosures (thanks dave from planet 10) that look pretty good and sound amazing with the SET amp I bought here (thanks jayfalvo, I'm having a blast with the amp). Bought my first system from a Canadian here on A'gon a couple of years ago (naim, spendor and rel, awesome set up in my book) and I have been hooked ever since. I hope everyones experience has been like mine on A'gon, I have had no problems buying and every purchase has come with a wealth of knowledge for free. Anyway, thats me. Thanks, Tracy

Great to see such varied persons into audio. I am a 55 year old broadcast technician living in NJ with a wive and two kids in college. Oh, I can not wait for them to graduate and get their lives under way. Maybe I will then have money again for even better gear. Too all. I hope the new year, brings you new gear. Happy listening.

I'm Ray and I don't understand why people want to give their age. You are only letting yourselves be typecast. I want to be known for the substance of my contributions, not that I'm too young (haven't really experienced much, therefore don't give much weight to my opinions) or too old (he's way past the point of having reasonable thought processes so just disregard what this old fuddy-duddy is trying to convey. With that said, I am Ray, an audiophile and classical music fan. I like analog and vinyl. I have tube equipment and enjoy collecting originally pressed vinyl records, when and where I can find them. Occasionally, I will sell my duplicates on EBAY. I would really appreciate hearing your comments in reply to the "age-issue".

My name is Daniel, I'm 56 & I live here in the Phoenix area.
Rawsinode, I'm giving my age because I'll soon post my own thread asking members if they have the same concern as me and close (audiophile) friends of mine, my age. My hearing is still quite good, but I know age is going to change that.
I'm going to try to make my system as good as I can afford,
while I still can appreciate it.
I work as a Water Monitor for the City of Phoenix.
My 4/10 schedule gives me 3 day weekends to relax, and I usually spend them listening to music or watching Blu Ray & DVD.
I am really into gear.
