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??

Treljia,David99...I work in the boring world of pigment production,studied Chemistry at college in general terms(Physical,Organic,Inorganic). My real expertise is in popular music,specialised subject- Dylan.D99 yeah well the girlfriend is pretty supported of the hi-fi because she knows I love music so much..sometimes she even hears a difference when I change/upgrade....actually I've just had a really stressful day being messed about by a guy who was supposed to buy my old amps...it's took the edge off my new purchase which I've been listening to and now have to abandon testing due to it being 23:30 here..oh well there's always tomorrow.. Regards, Ben
I'm 36 years old,live in Glasgow,Scotland..have done my whole life.I studed Chemistry and work in the Chemical Industry for a multi-national (boo!)-work shifts which is great because I work 4 12 hour shifts on and 6 days off-hurrah.Plenty of time to buy and listen to music. I have never managed to work out how to spend less than I earn but as we say here ..no pockets in a shroud. I'm single but seeing a girl-the story of my life. I really only got into audio about 4 years ago when I left home-yeah mummy's boy I know..but I have been a music addict since 14 years of age started off with Rush and now listen to everything-trying to expand my classical knowledge/appreciation at the moment. I've learned about buying hi-fi the hard way(via the mags-doh) though with no disastarous outlays but a few cul-de-sacs. My system is just about to change with the arrival of a class A amp-a Sugden A21a-to partner my few months old Proac Studio 150's(ex-dem)-the digital end will be next but at the moment is a Nakamichi DVD player via Audio Alchemy Dti/DITB upgraded DAC---I'll wait a while to see the next generation player/DAC's. Music is my main hobby and I am proud of the fact that I love it as much as ever..I also follow soccer and read a bit. Audiogon is great-fantastic knowledge base-I like the passionate debates but wish it wouldn't descend into pettyness so much but such is life..I've flamed on the net too so I don't want to be a hypocrite..... Take care everybody and enjoy your music. Regards, Ben
