Who, me? My name is Andy, I'm 37, divorced once, and I'm stranded in Los Angeles again. For several years I had a happy life in the local mtns. Trees, birds, snow, music. Sigh. Now it's payback time. This too, shall pass.
I'm a part-time care giver to my father, and a part-time jack of many, varied trades. Dad has Alzhimers, and only rersponds well to/reconizes me. Even that is fading. He blessed me with a start in this wonderful hobby when I was 14, and what little engineering knowledge I have I owe to him. I have never specialized in anything, though I have never stopped learning new things. Many subjects facinate me, and I'm always eager to learn as much as I can.
I do consider myself a gear-head, a stereo nut, and not so much an audiophile. (music lover, yes) I have a specific and defined listening ethic, to be sure, but big gear with enormous power supplies / hideously thick energy reserves just turns me on. (example: Rowland Model 7s) I have spent vastly more on gear than I have on music, so there you have it. How's that for brutal honesty? But I'm satisfied, to an extent, and have not made a major gear purchase in a couple of years.
I'm delighted to introduce myself to you all, and look forward to widening my scope of knowledge in this community. Thanks for reading this! Cheers
