DAVID99: I think it is a great idea what post you got here. I got to hand it to you, it took guts, so I will give you my 2 cents because of it. I am 42 and a self employed building contractor in Michigan. I feel like 22 though because of my daily exercise I do for work. I have wife almost 20 years, and 2 girls 13 & 14. Anyone feel sorry for me? Just kidding. I have been building for over 20 years. I custom build homes, remodel, additions, & build custom cabinetry. I am presently building out a custom home theater and full basement with custom kitchen & bar area. That is my ultimate favorite project to do. [Home theater] how cool. This is when I can say " I love my job " My ultimate dream is to be able to either build a H.T. for some famous, or one so awesome where money is no object, and good enough to be magazine material. I have done alot of work for some a/v stores before, some day maybe. My love for music and electronics go back to when I was still in jr. high. My 3 sisters [can't get away from females in my family] listened to music on there 1 pc. stereo, it's been wishing ever since. David if you don't mind I would like to list my humble system I presently own, and would like others to add this to their post add. I think that might add more interest. Also think of all the differant systems and tastes we have. Well here it goes : Sony 65xbr10whdtv, Sony ht1000 tuner, Sony dvp-s9000es, Sony tae-9000es, Sony slv-r1000, Sony md, Sherbourn 5/1500, Pioneer elite ct-91, Pioneer cld-3080, Polk audio sda srs, Polk audio sda crs, Polk audio f/x500, Monitor audio 210, & audio quest cables, with extras, and a custom rack of course. Some upgrading will be around the corner, but remember I have to also support my family. I am sure mine is better than some, and some are a whole lot better, but that's what makes it fun & interesting doesn't it? David I sure hope this is o.k. I sure would like to know what you have, and others...
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??
