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??

My turn. I'm a 44 y/o man who could stand to lose a few pounds. Boy do I fit into a group. I am an orthpedic surgeon specializing in spinal surgery. I have invented a couple of implants which has helped fuel a newfound passion for music and an old one for fast cars. I have spent the past year putting together a new sytem. I originally started with home theater, but have now graduated to a separate but combined system. I have used this site extensively to learn and to buy everything from amps to speakers. My wife puts up with my obsessions very good-naturedly, but my 5 children (aged 3-11) take up a LOT of my time.We are at a lucky time, where the music is good, the equipment is stupendous (compared to my college system of a Sansui amp with a Rega turntable and Advent speakers)and the sources are finally catching up.

Doug is completely correct. I bought a Rowland Coherence preamp that has a bypass input that defaults volume control to the theater processor. another way to ay that is that it has unity gain. funvtionally, when I listen to music the HT is completely out of the loop.When tha HT is going, i must choose the bypass circuit and the HT processor treats the main spaeakers as it's own front channels.David
