Hi all, Vernon Miller here. I'm 51 and live in beautiful New Hampshire. I'm a computer engineer by trade but my real love is messing around with analog. I don't get a chance to do much of it because my real job takes so much of my time, but some day...
Though I think analog media are great, I have been in the digital camp to at least some degree since the beginning (I owned a couple of the awful 1st-generation CD players) and have been patiently waiting for the technology to get good enough and affordable. I think that's happening now. So, I'm moving toward the media server/client model and am digitizing my analog media so that I can enjoy it anywhere with no fuss. (I'm using 96KHz 24-bit compressed with FLAC.) I have no intention of getting rid of my analog devices or media though, I just won't use them except to re-digitize as the technology gets even better.
I'm also glad about Class D amplification and the work that's going on there. I plan to integrate it into my system where practical.
I'm a huge fan of pipe organs and I have a large collection of organ vinyl and CDs. In other words, I'm a real party animal and the chicks dig me :-) Well, my wife likes me most of the time anyway!
