Well...I see I am the first response of 2013; wow...this is an old, but very worthwhile thread; I've enjoyed reading it, which is why I'm posting. My name is Jeff, I'm a journalist in Las Vegas, and reintroducing myself to my love of stereos and hi-fi ( I know that's real old-school) that I had in high school. I'm 55; my gear is primarily mid-fi: Arcam Alpha 9 integrated and power amp, which I bi-amp to B&W 805's. I have an Arcam Alpha 9 CD player (wonderful) and MCD (great); my surround system is powered by a Marantz SR 7005; I have a collection of other gear...I have upgrade plans...but so far....enjoying what I have. I love my music...; everyone....here's to a great 2013, and to a thread that lives on.
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??
