Park Slope in Brooklyn, New York. Love Brooklyn, fourth largest city in the country. Would enjoy meeting any Brooklynites, or any New Yorkers for that matter, that visit this site. You all have an open invitation to visit, hang and listen to some tunes.
Happy Holidays. |

Minneapolis home of the once powerful Vikings, soon to be eliminated Twins and the "Dallas Stars?" and the Minneapolis Lakers. Thank God I've got music! |
I live in Tokyo, Japan, a small metropolitan area of 30 million or so. Lots of 'cookie-cutter' high end stores but few good ones... what's worse, despite the 3rd recession in a decade and a financial system on the verge of collapse, many US makers choose to set their Japan prices 2-3x as high as US prices... |

Greetings from Grand Rapids, Micihgan. I seem to be the first Michiganian to report in; my aren't we a geographically challenged lot?
Always interested in things audio...you can listen to mine if I can listen to yours!
Regards, |
My English is truly better than the last post indicates...while I'll cop to digital dyslexia with regard to spelling Michigan I know when to capitalize city names and pronouns...it looked fine in the preview, what gives? |

New York City -- right around the corner from Sound by Singer (the spot everyone loves to hate, though some skip the love) and not too far up the way from Stereo Exchange. Dangerously close.... |
Mezmo-have you made it to Toys From the Attic yet? |
Sunny Tucson Arizona, back from a short stent in LA (Great city, too many people). Miss the audio exposure there though.

Tireguy -- not yet for TFTA. I just managed to hook a friend of mine on the idea of investing in a fairly nice system (likely some relatively high end monitors and an integrated, for starters) and should be doing the rounds here in the city this weekend to start educating him on some options. Maybe we'll take the trek to Westchester, but if not this weekend, I hope to head up there soon. When I do, I'll tell'em you (and the rest of the gang) sent me. Cheers |

I grew up in Detroit but after tiring of getting my equipment stolen, moved about 1/2 hour outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan, into a town of about 400 people. Small town life is the life for me(wasn't that from a sitcom?), you know all the neighbors. During the first snowstorm we had after moving here a neighbor, on a giant John Deere tractor came at 9am to plow our driveway for us. The sound of the tractor, while we were still sleeping, made my wife dash for the phone to call the police or somthing(as I said we are from Detroit, and we were conditioned). I thought it was an airplane in distress or a lost semi truck in my driveway. I went out in bare feet to introduce myself. My neighbor said a line that morning he's since said to us a few times..."I guess y'all know yer own business, but if I was you I'd.......". He also said that when we put a snow fence 5 feet from our driveway, pointing out that for a snow fence to work it had to be 50 or 75 feet from what you want to protect. DUH...I LOVE it out here, you can actually see the stars at night, have even turned up the stereo in our barn, layed on top the barn with my offspring, stargazing. Beautiful stuff... |
jimmymaclite: great post but you don't name your little town. couldn't be petticoat junction, could it? -cfb |
Hmmm....Hi Kelly: here in Boston I NEVER lock my back door--figure the speakers are too heavy, and the monos are bolted to the rafters in the basement...and who's going to take an emc-1 down off a high shelf? Not enough knobs to sell on the street. And those Nordost silver wires? Looks like cheap computer stuff, no? Maybe I'm naive.... |
Lyons..as in pride of. We have a sister city in France pronounced lee-on. Great site, this. Have spent hours here in the past few weeks... |
I am in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. |
Littleton Colorado. 15-miles sw of The Mile High City. Home of the Denver Broncos, Colorado Avalanche, The Rockies, and that other team that dribbles. We start at 5000-ft and go up higher from there. The air is thin, my head is light, and golf balls just rocket down the fairway like no other place on earth! Love those hipi chicks up in Boulder but if you lean more to the right of center you'll find some nice conservative gals down in Colorado Springs. But I still haven't found great Mexican food... The locals here seem to like Taco Bell. Sorry, I got carried away. I love this place, life is good. |
the southern new england coastline.
I was once in Denver, but there wasn't enough atmosphere
there to sustain life |
hey, abe and judith: i've lived in denver since 1975. send me an email indicating when you'd like to get together and i'll treat you both to some of the best mexican food north or jaurez and an atmosphere or two that'll demonstrate how tight-assed and xenophobic are the denizens of the "southern new england coastline." -cfb |
Kelly, I'm assuming you mean best Mexican style food in order to jump over all of the places to eat in New Mexico. I've been to Colorado. I'll take Rancho de Chimayo or any of a hundred places in NM, including a roadside diner in Penasco (Penyasco -can't make that little thing over the n). You can buy, though. My family is from NM, but I live in the South Bay of L.A. |
paulwp: yes, i quite agree that ñew mexico has great mexicañ-style food, but your folks are all screwed up what with the greeñ chili beiñ' the "mild." -cfb
ps- sante fe is one of my favorite places on earth. and chimayo is almost as mystical as the mesa verde. |
Actually when I was talking about the atmosphere
I meant literally. Went to Breckenridge and had to
have oxygen. However, I agree. We new englanders are
a tight assed bunch. |
Actually, Kelly, I grew up aroud people who grew and ate the original NM green chile, smaller than the Anaheim green that is now used everywhere. So hot I couldnt even stand to be in the house when my mother was roasting it. The real hot NM green loses a little fire when it ripens to red. The only thing hotter that I have ever tasted is a Habanero.
Since you insisted on showing off, how do you do that ~ thing over the n?

I'm from Cleveland,Ohio.Very close to Hopkins airport. I live in a little suburb called Brook Park, OH (44142) which is 10 miles south west (mostly south) of downtown Cleveland. I used to haunt Hi-Tech Hi-Fi on Mayfield Road, a local highend 2 channel stereo store until they closed. I'm looking to get to together with other audiophiles and discuss speaker/amp setups.
You can see my modest system here -

Feel free to email me, my linked account from A'gon is checked daily (usually). I look forward to hearing from audiophiles in the North East Ohio area!
FYI - I'm planning a pilgramage to Golden Gramophone in Fairlawn, OH, soon. I've never been there, but it has been highly recommended to me by fellow Audiogon member and Ohio resident 'Timperry.' I'm looking forward to hearing their JM Labs, Vandersteen, and Von Schweikert loudspeakers.
Cheers,

pablo,
the secret to getting "non-standard" symbols like the tilde to show up on AudiogoÑ posts is to cut and paste from a word processing system. i'm a mac user, so i'm able to migrate among "windows" very quickly. almost everything i post, i then copy and paste to word or wordperfect to do a spell check; if anything needs changing, i delete the original in the thread and paste from the copied and corrected word processing version. if you want to use symbols like the tilde ~ or other stuff, like £ § ® © ™ ¥...., compose in the word processor with a "standard" font like geneva using your symbols insert keys.
i'd love to try some of your mom's or other family members' super-hot chilies. what i was referring to was the color of the "sauce." in denver the pork chili is always green (no tomato or tomatilla added).
-cfb |
Kelly-when do you find time to work let alone listen to your system? you have more posts then most everyone and go to extreme lengths to make sure they are accurate, very honorable. I don't have that much ambition with my posts, sorry ;) I am too damn tired to that most days.

Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I am also looking for some local Audiophiles to hang with. It's a lot more fun sharing your upgrades and tweeks with somebody else. I wonder if the University would allow an Audio club??? We'll see :) |
