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??

Hello,
Although new to Audiogon, I have been into audio for over twenty years. I have been married to one woman for over 15 years, and we have a twelve year old son. At 41, I am a social worker that specializes in adoption. My wife is usually a good sport about my audio pursuits, although my system is banished to being placed in an armoire in our bedroom. Recently, I got a concession to place a single sub outside the armoire, so life is pretty good. I love classical and jazz music, and have been collecting for years. I listen to music for about one to two hours a day. Gear that I have previously owned includes Carver, Harmon Kardin, and JBL many years ago. When we knew we could get a nice house and still afford to eat, I started back into serious audio gear. I started out with all Rotel separates and JBL monitors. I have since replaced Rotel with a Bryston amp and pre-amp(Dac) while keeping the Rotel cd player. The JBL's were replaced by Harbeth's, which I then replaced with JM LAB monitors. After all this upheavel, I think I am close to being happy with my system. I have had two diferrent B & W subs that I liked, especially the last one, but I am now looking for a sub to go with system. Apart from cords, IC's, cables, and maybe a good surge protection unit, I think I am ready to step off the upgrade-merry-go-round for a while. I have really enjoyed getting to know a little about fellow Audiogoner's.
Best Regards,
John Walker
