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??

Biotime: I'm 31yo and have been an audiophile for 12 years. It started out with ACCURATE, rather than boomy, reproduction of sound in my car. My best/last car system had McIntosh CD/tuner and amps and 12 Dynaudio Speakers with 2 digital signal processors to put independent delays on the driver's side speakers for proper imaging (similar to TACT RCS. Sounded great for a car.

I've been doing the home stuff for about 3 years. I'm a Physicist so I enjoy both the acoustical and gearhead aspects of this hobby, but I also love music. I pay for the audio toys with my consulting firm that designs biotech instrumentation for genetic research.

I'm 51, a publisher, and was introduced to hi-end audio by my 19 old son, a sophomore at U of TX in Austin. He is studying electrical engineering and preparing for a career in audio engineering. I am putting together a system in my home office and thoroughly enjoying the hobby. I also play golf and enjoy decorating our home (sounds crazy, but my wife does like to do it).

I've been working with a therepist for twenty years trying to figure out the answer to that question. I'll let you know when/if I come to a conclusion.

I'm a 22 yrs. old and have been into Hifi for about 4 yrs. I am a second class petty officer in the navy serving on active duty in Groton, CT, the Submarine capital of the world. I just re-enlisted for another 5 years. Right now I am in the process of upgrading my system. I started off working on home theater, but my tastes have turned to two-channel stereo. For speakers I have B&W 805's powered by my Pioneer Elite receiver, although I just bought a McCormack DNA-225. I use audioquest cables, and my dvd player for a source component. I am about to transfer to the west coast and will finish upgrading when I get settled.
