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 name is Todd, I go by retroguy. I have been in the Electronics Industry all of my life. Built my first crystal set at Eight and my first Two way at fifteen. Earned most of a BSEE at UIUC in the early 90's. I'm 35 shortly have a lovely wife that has danced for the Geoffrey in New York and now has her Masters in Chem. Does research for ADM Corporate. We have two incredible sons, Euler who is four and Feynman who is 18 months. Not much into HT, It's hard enough to get two channels to sound good. I was very fortunate to find my wife, she loves music as much as I do. Our children are constantly listening to music as well and showning a talent. My oldest boy has a nice singing voice when he's not being to shy. Enjoy your music. This was a genius thread to start.
Gmkowal, it's great to build your own speakers, the final payoff is extraordinary. I have designed and built some 30 pairs of speakers over the years. I am currently working on a ribbon hybrid. Tweeter/mid from an original Apogee Duetta, and several Vifa options. Anyone have any suggestions? Good luck on yours. retroguy
