What can I possibly say about myself? I'm 35, single and living in New York (Sounds like a personal ad!) An acupuncturist by profession, I'm also a film-maker/photographer with a passion for fine cognac and most especially absinthe. No hang-gliding or parachuting though.Living in New York City is exciting enough! My father loved both music and electronics and I guess you could say I was influenced by his interests as a youngster. I've had the hi-fi bug for 20 years cobbling together mostly mid-fi junk until an older friend of mine took me down to his basement for a listen to his Sota/Conrad-Johnson/Magnepan Tympani rig. Blew my mind!! It's been downhill ever since! I'm currently enjoying my Krell seperates/Linn 'table/Revox B760 tuner/vintage Nakamichi deck and several vintage Reel-to-Reel machines. In addition to collecting vinyl for 20 years, I've recently started collecting R2R tapes (mostly from e-bay). CD's are also welcome as I'm no snob! When it comes to music Jazz is king but my taste is extremely diverse from rock to classical to pop to...well you get the idea! In closing I think I should mention that I have an absolutely beautiful and wonderful girlfriend who is both a teacher and psychologist. I'm also convinced that when it comes to audio-related matters she probably thinks I'm completely insane but has never actually come out and said this. Needless to say it's one of the MANY things I love about her! Audiogon is a great site! Keep 'em comin' folks!!
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??
