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??

I am a 44 year old single male who has the audiophile bug.
After 10 years of dreaming I decided to invest in a
real audio system.However,it seems that every unplanned
emergency has come up and I am pissed!
I am now on a mission!
Aragon power amp,Conrad -Johnson or Rogue tube preamp,Rega cd player,Nordost Red Dawn cables,Paradigm Studio 40 or Meadowlark speakers.

Johnny7, have fun in your quest, and don'y forget to watch out for the PLANNED emergencies!
Johnny7 You have a great dream list in mind.Your choice of amp,CD player and cables is right on! May I suggest a Rogue Audio 66 or 99 preamp and the Paradigm 40's, 60's or 80's
hi,im tom, and im an audio addict. i cant help myself. i have 7k LPs, about 1kCDs, 100+ open reels, and who knows how many cassettes for the car.
ill be 57 in oct, from buffalo,ny, and have lived thru 2 of the most horrendous earthquakes (71+94) and still wanna live in so cal.
oh the used record scene here is AWESOME! i LOVE paying 50cents to a buk for used LPs.
i use an arc sp3c, adcom555II, fried model h sub/sat system, and my front end is vpi hw19III/smeIV/various carts/cd with a dac in the box, etc.
nothing wrong with adcom amps! the 555II, 5400, the 5500, and the 5800 are all verrrrrrry good. the 565 pre doesnt stnad in the same league with the arc! big surprise, eh?

used to have a 340 duster, i loved that car. lions drag strip went away too long ago, i really enjoyed going there. guess ill try palmdale one day.
i claim to hear diffs in wire so take a lot of flack from the chihuahuas at AR.
i listen to KLON (88.1) almost exclusively, a jazz/bllues station from long beachste univ (KLON.org-listen on line). yeah, rock but since kmet died on the vine, only klos comes close. then theres kcrw 89.9, and kxlu 88.9 (very little compression etc) and little else.
TTS=vpihw19III/smeIV/sumiko virtuoso dti vdh/mit w/wbt plugs.
