Hi everybody! I am 28. I've been visiting the site for about a month now and just joined A'gon two days ago. This is a great site! I am a chiropractic physician. I just recently graduated with tons of loans.
Anyway, my first foray into audio was back in 1993 when I was attending the University of Illinois(UIUC). I went to a shop in town and listened to what I thought were Dunlavy SC IV's and Cello equipment, incredible sound. But, I later found out it was actually the SC-I's!!! That did IT. Plus, the salesguy sold me a copy of Stereophile. Bad move. Of course, it was the Recommended Components issue. (Uh-oh is RIGHT!) I started with a Technics receiver, Sony walkman-CD player and Paradigm Phantoms in my dorm room. You could hear me down the hall and around the corner. I mothballed my current system for the last 2 years due to a poor apartment environment and busy schedule. I just started back-up again 3 months ago. Today, I am running all tube equipment and an analog-only front end. System is Merrill KT-1 TT, Morch UP4, Stanton CS100, Music Reference RM5MKIII, Aronov SA-60 and Alon Petites.(All bought used/demo, except UP4.) I am a tweaker to the end too! I am a tweaker even with my car, which is a Nissan 200SX SE-R.(my baby) It is heavily modified and very noisy, but the handling is almost TELEPATHIC! I've lived in Seattle, WA and Sunnyvale, CA and I am now residing in South Jersey. (Family is there) The one thing I miss most about the West Coast besides the incredible weather is MY WINDY MOUNTAIN ROADS! DAMN! Anyway, now that I have a basement and halfway decent room acoustics, I am spending MUCH MORE time tweaking and listening. I am even thinking about tube rolling, it never ends.
Life is short. Enjoy the music.
