I'm here lurking!

I built a system I enjoy, and once the equipment chase and churn was over, I let the Audiogon forum experience go. 

Here is an ironic anecdote. Many of us have spent hours upon hours, and lots of disposable income trying to quiet our systems. Mine had a persistent ground loop hum that I worked on for YEARS. It would come and go depending on the electronics I owned. I tried so many tweaks it made my wife's head spin. I installed dedicated AC lines, and a whole house power filter/surge protector. At one point, we remodeled our kitchen, and part of the remodel involved a partial re-wire of the service panel. Nothing fancy. Added a breaker as I recall. Some of the circuits were re-wired...but no attention was paid to the dedicated audio circuits. At the end of the remodel, my system was dead quiet. Go figure!

Hope you are well, Bon. 

Grant (TVAD) it’s nice to see your post again, have you visit Evanston lately?

Great to see you here again, Grant!  Hope all is going well for you and your wife.

BTW, some time ago I saw some posts you had made in an automobile-related forum.  As an owner of a very similar vehicle, I like your taste in cars :-)

You know, Al, I remember that. Didn't I ask in the forum if you were an audiophile or participated on Audiogon?

Hi Grant,

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that I never submitted a post there; I just used that forum for research purposes before buying the car. And I was registered there under a different screen-name.

In any event, I hope the car has been treating you as well as mine has been treating me. Mine has been perfection, for four years now! Although it doesn't have all that many miles on it, in part because my wife and I are retired and don't do any commuting, and in part because its high performance tires make it unsuitable for use here during much of the winter.

Best,
-- Al
