What happened to Jfox

Hello all!

Turned on the system tonight for the first time in about a year and decided to surf Audiogon.

I put together a wonderful frankenstein Audio Note system (meaning not 100% Audio Note), and once the audio chase was over my interest waned. Go figure. ;)

Interesting audio story (well, maybe not but here it is anyway...). For many years, I fought a ground loop buzz in my system, especially when I wasn't running fully balanced. I spent hours and hours troubleshooting the buzz. Installed dedicated AC lines, whole house power filter. You name it.

Two years ago, we remodeled a bathroom that required some electrical work at the main panel. Once the bathroom was complete...no more buzz. The problem had been caused by wiring at the panel. The exact cause is still a mystery...but the buzz is gone. Woo-hoo!

Happy Listening.

PS - I too miss AudioFeil's acerbic wit and high ethics.

Hey, Grant (Tvad), great to see you back here! Hope all is going well. And do enjoy the top-notch system you worked so hard to develop.

Same here. As well as his wealth of knowledge and experience, and his balanced perspectives on what matters most in a system, and what matters less.

Best regards,

Does this mean that once you put your great system together, your interest waned in both Audiogon and in listening to your system? Yikes!

Tvad ,
you always struck me as some one who loves music and not just an equitment geek. I'm surprised you didn't use your system for an entire year! I hope you'll enjoy music reproduction in your home.

Guilty of both. My interests wax and wane. I have been in the wane phase. Waxing to follow...
