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??

Hello, I am new to Audiogon this year and have already made several purchases. I listen to almost every type of music. If it's good I listen. Favorites are jazz and funk. I am a Systems Engineer for a Consultant company. Since I don't have a TV, music is always playing in my home. I just purchsed Sonic Frontiers Line 2 and a Line 3 and Processor 3 through Audiogon. I will probably put the Line 2, AR LS9 up for sale. Slept on a SFT 1 that had the I2se upgrade. Will not do that again. So far I love the gear. It has really given me a new outlook on the extensive colletion I own. I am also an avid photographer and do some weddings, social and corporate events.
Wow,
Another thread I can't believe I've missed! I'm a 35 year old wholesale fine wine salesman in DC. I'm single but live with the love of my life in our brand new condo in downtown DC. I've been on Audiogon for about 4 years I think, if not longer! I love buying, selling, and especially trading, and I've yet to have a bad experience. The people on here are the coolest bunch of audiofreaks anywhere and I'm proud to be associated with them! Thanks guys!
Wow, I missed this thread too for the last two years. Jond, I wish I would have seen you post earlier: I used to be constantly in the DC area. Nice place to live in a downtown condo (Actually I live in a nice condo, too, but in downtown Calgary). I haven't seen David99 around for a while, but maybe we should push this thread to the 500 mark.

I used to be a very happy audiophile with almost no system changes for 5 years, before that another 5 years with almost no changes. Then my integrated amp broke and I discovered Audiogon. From there I better stop counting...

Besides hanging out on Agon, I was born in Germany in 1974. I lived there until 1997, when I came to Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA!!) to work on my Ph.D. in physics. Finally finished, I live in Calgary, Alberta, and in the Waterloo/Toronto area in Canada. With my wonderful wife being from India and later Singapore, we have can be found anywhere in Canada, US, Singapore, India, Germany. Still have to develop connections to Australia, Afrika, South America, and Antarctica to cover the remaining continents.

Well, best wishes to everyone here and thanks for "wasting" two years of my life...(nothing compared to the seven years of physics though ;-)

born in taipei, taiwan in 1977. i was lucky enough to receive piano lessons for 7 years. i have always loved electronics (cameras, minidiscs, computers...). knowing how beneficial it is for infants to hear music, i ventured into this crazy hobby in 2003, when my son was born. i admit that i love audio jewelry. both classic/vintage technology and cutting edge technology intrigue me. my wife and 2 children currently live in nyc.
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
