I'm 31 and live in the deep hills of Colorado. I'm lucky because I have a number of the best audio companies in the world in my back yard - Dunlavy, Avalon, Rowland, Bouler, Audio Magic, Green Mountain and Ayre. They all seem to be fairly friendly and willing to extend a welcome to anyone that stops by. I got into this hobby in high school when I noticed that as I upgraded my car stereo, it could go louder without sounding worse. My car audio dealer was also a high-end dealer and got me started with a used CJ preamp and a little Adcom amp. Despite the CJ blowing up about 10 times, I never managed to give up on audio and have since built my system to the point where my focus has gone from music to equipment and back to music again - my system lets me enjoy what I hear rather than nit-picking about perceived flaws or things I can improve on. I'm married to a woman who claims to not care about the gear, but who has objected if I bring home something on audition that she doesn't think sounds good. I have no kids (yet), though I have two dogs who couldn't care less about the source of my tunes.
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??
