lugnut(patrick): great screen name and really nice bio. funny, but when i tell people of my old home state, iowa, i frequently get comments like, "oh yeah, where they grow all those potatoes." works both ways.
welcome to the 'gon!

Ok, I've been a daily Gon addict for about 8 months and wish to extend my grattitude to everyone for sharing the knowledge. I'm 51, married for 28 years, the father of one. My passions are photography (it's how I earn my living), drag racing (wicked 67 Nova), and flyfishing. I live in Idaho and am part owner of an internet service company for Realtors. I made my first leap into hifi when I first married. I doubt I measure up to most of the folks here when it comes to equipment. I've had a Linn LP 12 since 82 and have been collecting vinyl for my entire life. I was taught at an early age how to care for my precious recordings so going digital wasn't something I pursued before but am in the market for a new CD player. I have two systems and will dispose of one soon. My primary system is Linn and the second is Naim. I bought both through blind listening so I guess I prefer British components...at least solid state stuff. I appreciate tube equipment but don't care to take the time to warm them up. I guess I'm saying that other things are equally important in my life. My wife and I have been to more concerts than most other people we know. I feel fortunate to have seen the Beatles, Rolling Stones....on and on. But I must admit that I prefer recorded music. If I were stranded on an island and could only have a few recordings I would include Neil Young (my hero), the Beatles, Steely Dan, Bob Dylan, Super Tramp, Karla Bonoff and Allan Parsons. My roots are in country music and bluegrass having been raised in a hillbilly household. I love cars (American muscle) and modifying them. I gravitate toward those I meet that have superior knowledge or intelligence. Can't learn anything from an idiot! A couple of other comments. Idaho isn't in the midwest...that's Iowa. Contrary to what is widely believed, this is the single most accepting place I have ever been; a real haven for the live and let live type. If you ever come out west I would be glad to give advice on what to do and where to go. My regards to all. Patrick |
I've the same tastes for the music as you steve + some german krautrock stuff. I'm sure that I can continue your likes much further. Zorn is only the beginning... |
sbindeman: you've actually seen gustav mahler perform/conduct? IAE, your tastes appear as eclectic as my own (tho, i've a difficult time imagining how patricia barber AND zappa could coexist as anyone's musical exemplars-perhaps you can explain that from one philosophical perspective or another). i do, most sincerely, welcome you to the 'gon and look forward to reading your opinions. -cfb |
Steve-It sounds like it is going to be very pleasurable having you here, nice to meet you. Just so you know me and Gustav Mahlar are real tight, we went to school together :) FWIW I am one of the many "thread jesters" here, all kidding aside great to have you contributing here.

Hi Everyone. I'm a philosophy professor who lives in the DC area. I've been involved (obsessed?) with music since my college years in the late 60's (I'm 53 now). I occasionally play saxophone and clarinet (especially when my 2 kids are home and let me play with their various bands). I'm happy to say my love of music has passed on to both of them. Once a year or so I teach a course on world music. When I lived in Europe during my junior year in college I was perfectly happy with an $8 all in one record player that automatically turned off when it finished playing so I could easily fall asleep nightly to Dr. Zhivago or Wildflowers or Mozart's 39th Symphony. My wife of 28 years, bless her soul,similarly is still content with the stand alone cd player she plays in the kitchen. Alas, I am no longer satisfied with this level of sound reproduction. I caught the bug about 10 years ago when a friend introduced me to Stereophile, the Absolute Sound, and to separates. After seemingly endless changes I've reached the following: Soundlab Ultimate 2 speakers, Innersound Electrostatic Amp, CAT Sig 1 mk2 Preamp, ARC CD2 (about to upgrade via Audiogon to Muse 8/296) cdp, Michael Green Designs roomtunes and (about to arrive any day) MGD Justarack deluxe stereo rack, ESP power cables and power distributor/ conditioner, Stealth gold interconnects and silver speaker cable, AR AE1 turntable/arm with Sumiko Blue Point Special cartridge. I own nearly 4000 records and over 5000 cd's -- and also about 15,000 books. The truly weird thing about all this is that somehow I think my purchasing choices illustrate something significant about my taste and predilections in life. I also play golf, write and publish book reviews and essays in philosophy, and listen to tons of music from all parts of the world as often as I can. To mention a few performers that I like (and have seen live whenever possible): Diamanda Galas, Nusrat Feteh Ali Khan, the Fairfield Four, the Blind Boys of Alabama, the Residents, Pink Floyd, Gustav Mahler, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Miles Davis, Art Pepper, Kadri Gopalnath, Alvin Lucier, Eric Dolphy, Ry Cooder, Indonesian Gamelan, Tuvan Throat Singers, Malian Griots, Patricia Barber, Frank Zappa, Hans Theelnik, Fred Frith, John Zorn (... oh, sorry I went on so long but if anyone wants further info about any of these performers I'd be happy to oblige. Their work at least to me is always emotionally gratifying.)

So I've heard ska but didnt know what it was. I certainly remember My Boy Lollipop. And I like reggae. Enough for this thread, thanks. |
cfb, Paulwp - Don't want to pull thread off-topic, so real quicklike: Whazzamatta, cfb, that wasn't enuff for ya? E-mail me direct if you want to chat about any particular styles you're interested in. Paul, ska was an early-to-mid 60's Jamaican percursor to reggae, epitomized by the band The Skatellites, still active (though key original members have died). Mostly unknown in America at the time, some ska-influenced hits did infiltrate the top 40 - Millie Small's "My Boy Lollipop", Lee Dorsey's "Working In A Coalmine", Desmond Dekker's "The Israelites". Ska's signature rhythm sounds sort of like a double-time reggae with horns, more of a dance music. It experienced a British revival as the post-punk "Two-Tone" movement around 1980, producing bands like The Specials and The English Beat (spawning in turn a less-significant American revival in mid-90's). Lots of the biggest name reggae artists and producers of the 70's, including Bob Marley and The Wailers, got their starts in ska.
"Glam" = glam-rock, as in "glamour". Early 70's movement hugely popular in England, not so much in the 'States, at least while still at its short-lived peak. Prime practitioners included David Bowie (who moved on, as he always does), Marc Bolan/T. Rex, Slade, Gary Glitter, and many other less durable acts. It was also an influence on acts like Queen, The Sweet, The New York Dolls, Alice Cooper, Elton John, Kiss, and lots more. Generally speaking, glam incorporated melodic hard rock and bubblegum influences into a catchy, singles-oriented form that featured lots of repetitive riffs, chant-like rhythms, vocal harmonies and deliberately odd or goofy lyrics with gimmicky production. It was a very visually-focused genre, extremely androgynous with flashy makeup, platform boots, outrageously tight, shiny and sparkly costumes, colored or strangely-cut hairdo's, oversized collars, buttons and buckles, and often with sci-fi or mystical imagery. Not as earthy as the psychedelic hippie look before it; not as dark as the heavy metal, as slick as the disco, or as cold as the new wave looks that came after. Bands from Parliament to Sonic Youth to pre-grunge hair-metal acts all owe something to the spacy-comic look. Perhaps the best-known musical remnant of the style today is Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Part 2" (you know, the one with the lyrics that consist of nothing but the chanted word "hey"), blared through P.A.'s at team sports events everywhere. (Apologies to David99!) |
You know, I've never really understood what ska is, though I like the name, and now I have to figure out "glam." What on earth is that? |
zaikesman: yep, u b welcome here. nice post. i particularly like your listing of "primary stylistic touchstones." are there any others? -cfb |
I R: a 37y.o. single but well-attached guy, no kids, from DC area who gets his $ for records and gear from a succession of sales jobs (not a "career", I fear), including stints in the audio hardware and software retail bizzes. I currently work for a local cabinetry company as a designer/estimator/salesguy, and have done designs for custom audio harware and software storage (not the majority of our work, however). I have 2-3 years worth of college coursework taken at various times, but am just a HS grad.
I've played the guitar since 11y.o., and still play in local rock bands, in a retro/punk bag. As a player, my primary stylistic touchstones are post-war electric blues, 50's rhythm & blues, rockabilly, rock and roll, 60's British invasion, surf, instrumental, soul, garage punk, folk rock, baroque pop, mod, ska, psychedelic, 70's proto punk, glam, power pop, reggae, new wave, punk rock, funk and 80's harDCore punk and indie rock. I'm also very influenced by jazz, but can't say that I'm good enough to really play it, just try to incorporate a swinging feel and the odd passing note or chord substitution.
I was conscious of quality audio as a kid through my father, who was a music lover, not an audiophile or hobbyist. He had thousands of LP's, 90% classical, most of the rest jazz. His last system was assembled in the 70's, Dual TT, MacIntosh SS receiver and Allison speakers. He added CD fairly early on in the mid-80's and has thousands of them, too. I never liked classical as a kid or young adult, but have begun to get into certain kinds in last several years, mostly early and modern, rather than the 18th-19th century standards Dad mostly listened to.
I have a several thousand record collection myself, including lots of 45's and some 78's, and a few hundred CD's. Most of the stuff is rock, jazz, and blues from the 50's, 60's, and 70's, much of it pretty obscure, but I don't consider myself a serious collector, just an opportunistic accumulator. I also listen to a lot of classical radio through my system, but mostly NPR talk or sports in the car.
I used to be the co-owner of a local independent record label that was active in the 80's releasing area punk-related bands on vinyl, and sold over 10,000 pieces nationally and around the world. I learned a lot about the technical side of recording in the studio, though I'm no wonk (anyway, digital came in after I mostly stopped producing). I still try to see rock bands live in clubs, but there isn't as much I want to attend these days.
In the last few years, I think I've spent as much on my system as on music, a trend that somewhat alarms me. For the record, the main components are: c-j PV-8 tube pre, MV-55 tube amp, modded Technics 1200 TT with B-M Glider M2, Theta Basic IIIa/Pearl digital separates, Audiolab 8000t tuner, HHB CD-R burner, NAD 6300 cassette, a vintage Sony Esprit 3-band full parametric EQ for dubbing touch-ups, Sennheiser HD600/MF X-Cans v.2 headphone combo (I've never been completely satisfied with any headphone setup I've tried, and am still not), all Cardas Cross wire, through Thiel CS2.2 floorstanding 3-ways. Next step possibilities: a turntable/arm upgrade, remote pre, separate phono pre, more amp power. I never see myself as aspiring to state-of-the-art system status, but I've already spent more time and money on the darn thing than I ever used to think I could be lured into, or am proud of, to be truthful. I bought most of the stuff used though, and stay away from high-end stereo shops like the plague, in addition to having no audio buddies and not attending the shows. So there! |
jmarkarian: well, james, we're happy you've shed your veil to join in on these discussions. sounds like your search is well-defined and admirable. we look forward to your coming contributions. -cfb |
Hi everyone --my name is James and I'm a 35 year old strategist for a silcon valley software company. I've lived in the bay area for going on 14 years now, so I'm too soft to live anywhere else. I'll post my system details in the proper place as a reference, but I'll say a little about my audio philosophy here.
I've read a lot of the posts on this thread and others and have tried to come to a one-man consensus on what's important about audio. For me, as involved in the gear as I tend to get, the only thing that matters is the music itself. My one goal for this part of my life is to recreate a certain feeling. That feeling is the shiver I get and the hairs standing up on the back of my neck as I experience music that touches me. I've been fortunate enough to attend many live concerts that have moved me in this way. The aim, therefore, of any piece of equipment, any tweak, any placement change, is to get closer to being able to experience that unique feeling in my listening room.
I've lurked on this site for a couple of years and have interacted with many incredible people that have spent considerable time offering their assistance. Outside of audio, I run, bike, snowboard, travel and like to drive (track and autocross) a variety of vehicles: Formula Ford/Mazda, plus my Ferrari and Porsche.
Looking forward to meeting more of you and even posting now and then when I have something to offer. |
Swampwalker, yes right now I'm totally digital for the same reason as you... $$$
And lack of software. I will probably go analogue next year when I'm a little more knowledgeable about the subject. |
Brulee you know the saying "love like youth is wasted on the young", very true. |
Hi Tireguy, What do you considrer older folks? Blink once and you will be forty. Blink twice and you will be fifty. Me likes tubes too. Ah, but i was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. I enjoy your humor Tireguy but tire the guy who flaunts his youth. I look forward to your posts. Keep up the good fun. |
Buckingham- Glad to see another younger member here(between you and me the old folks think they own the place, we need to set the record straight:) I am also a tubey sort of guy....well for the moment anyway(the exception would be an accuphase A50v), I just was never happy with the sound of solid state in my system, but now with a tube amp and a ss pre, it is great! Are you into vinyl by any chance? I find that all younger audiophiles are strictly digital(as is the case with me), I'll admit is sounds better but I can't afford it at the moment, between the gear and I would need all new software it would be difficult at the moment. Look forward to talking with you some more, enjoy your addiction!

Hi there, Eric. We're always happy to hear (read) a new voice (poster). |
My name is Eric (21) and I'm from Waterloo Canada, which is about an hour away from Toronto. Currently in my third year of a Biotechnology program at University of Waterloo. Audiogon has done a world of good to help me get my system up and running. I finally realized that tubes was for me and decided to go for the Rogue Magnum Integrated :) Hopefully that works out for the best. In my spare time I like to Mountain Climb, sail, race mountain bikes and swim. I work for the Coast Guard in the summers doing Search and Rescue and run a website design firm with my brother. I really like the non sarcastic/condescending atmosphere on Audiogon, unlike other internet site forums... People here seem to be intelligent and truly experienced. Thanks everybody for making this site what it is. If you're ever around the Toronto area and want to talk audio, drop me an email. |
I don't always agree with Jcbtubes. But this time he is dead on. I couldn't agree with him more. I am referring to the charter member part. He sure got that one right.
Ya babeeeeeeeeee. |
Hey, Tireguy, there's a group for everyone. I left out the group for which I'm the charter member: the village idiot!
Cornfed- I just had a visit from the local chapter of the aaoic. Instead of a lecture, they offered me a honorary position. It seems that they were willing to over look my early DBT days. Of course, I left them behind long ago- right along with my sanity. |
hey this is cool I am not angry and such, but young, naive/impressionable :)
Tim |
jonathan: if you keep makin' comments like that, you'd better watch your backside, lest you're targeted by the aaoic (american association of old irascible cynics). iÂ’m a life, or whatÂ’s left of it, member. - cfb |
Bishopwill- Welcome to the neighborhood. As with all diverse communities, you are bound to meet all types around these parts: from the young and naive/impressionable, to the tolerant and knowledgeable, and of course, the old irascible cynic who lives in the big house on the block over. I hope you find/make some friends, and both give and receive a little audio enlightenment in the process.
Welcome (and take heed of Dekays suggestion!;-) |
I can tell I'm in the right place. Actually, Albert, if you read either of my posts carefully, you could not possibly miss my appeal for tolerance and mutual acceptance.
Will
aka the Slithy Tove |
Hey Bishop: Albert's just a little testy from listening to MTV for the past four months (while his system has been down). Ordinarily he would allow you to fault before the flogging began. Oh, and watch out for Brulee (he's a tricky little devil:-) |
Hi Bishopwell, I welcome you regardless of your opinions. I don't have to agree with you but this is audio. Ya can't please everybody. I agree with Albertporter about blind DBX testing but that is just my opinion. Not to be welcomed because you believe in something I don't is ridiculous.
Welcome,welcome,welcome. However, if you are here to fight then I must agree with Albertporter. |
Bishopwill. I do not know if I am among those who welcome you.
Your admission of being a strong supporter of double blind testing makes me apprehensive. I do not welcome those who come here to fight for DBX testing methods.
During my two years here every DBX advocate worked at shifting every discussion to their preferred testing methods. Rarely if ever posting opinions about their favorite music or the equipment necessary to make it work.
I would not be concerned except for the fact that both of your (new and only) posts you bring up the subject. I hope you prove the exception to those who have visited in the past. It would be a refreshing change. |
bishopwill: so you've opened the closet door and declared yourself a crimson-tide "objectivist," no longer lurking in the shadows, ready to play a game of kick-the-can. or is it capture-the-flag?
Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!
this oughta' be fun. a priest and shrink wearin' a single cloak. and a bureaucrat in the bargain!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead and with its head
He went galumphing back.
welcome to the coming fray.....
--cfb (a/k/a, the "beamish boy") |
Bishopwill, it's refreshing to have someone so "up-front" about their views on the always controversial subject of subjectivity vs objectivity in high-end audio. Welcome to the Forum. Cheers. Craig. |
Welcome aboard Bishopwill, sounds as though you have had a very vicssitudes time. But your in great company, and music is always there for ya.
~Tim |
If you will tolerate a post from an absolute A-gon newbie ("long time listener, first time caller"), here goes:
I'm a psychotherapist for the federal government. Took my PhD from the University of Alabama. Also bishop in an independent catholic church (i.e. not "Roman"). Fifty-six years old, long-divorced, son in the music industry. Built my first music system in my pre-teens and have been listening and tinkering ever since.
In the course of a life misspent, I've been a professional singer and symphony player, choral conductor, and music critic for a medium-market daily paper. I'm immune to snob appeal/brand consciousness and the "oh my god, it's new so I gotta have it" syndrome. I buy only when I can hear a clear and convincing improvement over what I already own. I've gone through far less equipment than many of you--I envy the time and money to do the listening, buying, and selling that many of you have done.
Trained as a scientist, I'm a strong advocate for DBX evaluation of equipment. That being said (and before the subjectivists take down my email address and start planning ways to burn down my house) I also know that many subtle differences in amps, preamps, even cables and tweaks CAN be demonstrated through objective testing. Open-mindedness is needed on both sides of this issue. Alas,it is in damned short supply.
Thanks for listening. I'm happy to be a member of this congenial and knowledgable community.

Rivercitylad; as I went to school in Moscow, Idaho (90 miles S. of Spokane), I've spent some time in the fair city of Spokane-- a place I may choose to live if not here on the Oregon coast. Welcome to you and all the new people here on Audiogon.
Congrats to you David, "our" thread now has over 300 posts, and I'm glad to hear of the positive changes in your life and music. I agree, there are some excellent recordings of C/W music, ie Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and G. Jones come to mind-- but I'm still a Bluesman at heart. BTW, in Oct., I added Vandersteen 5s to my system, and am still falling in love with them ;>). Incredible bass.
Dugg, it's nise to si yore Naim bak on the 'Gon. Happy New Year to all A'gon members and readers. Cheers. Craig. |
I actually have been thinking about getting something to get by, but I hate to compromise the sound of my system with something cheap. I am going to look into the new Sony ax7000es player, and will also look into the art io/dac. If anybody has any other suggestions for a reasonable price that will sound good, let me know. |
sandra, i can understand your reluctance to jump in to the digital world, wanting to wait for the format wars to settle out. but, you may end up tuneless for a lot of years! ;~) meanwhile i suggest you pick up an art di/o dac for ~$122 from fullcompass.com, ship it to wayne at boldercables.com, where he'll tweak it for ~$200. then, pair it w/any cheap cd-player of your choice - i like my nad 515 5-disc changer, retailed for $500, i got it a lot less as a demo. do a search on a-gon & on the audio asylum's digital forum for di/o (or dio), for info. while i can't speak for those who have dumped their $20k digital rigs in favor of the di/o, i *can* say i'd rather listen to my set-up than a $3k resolution audio cd-50 that has received so much positive press... also, while my experience w/solid-state amps is that digital sounds better w/a tubed preamp than run straight-in to amps, w/tubed amps, your results may be different. but, w/o a preamp, ya miss out on all the good vinyl & fm available. a quality tuner w/good stations will *really* amaze you, thru your system, if you have never heard it. and even a half-decent vinyl set-up will blow almost *any* digital set-up away, imho... doug s. |
Hi, I use the computer at work(on breaks only, of course), so I only have access at certain times. Anyway, I have Dahlquist speakers (DQ20I), Legend Audio Design mono block amps (triodes), no pre-amp as of yet and no source. I'm waiting for the new format to settle in somewhat-I am interested in the new Sony ax7000es though- before I buy a cd player or pre-amp. I may get a player with volume control or I may get a passive pre-amp, I'm not sure which at this time. So I don't have my stereo running yet, although I have in the past. I have transparent speaker cables and no interconnect as of yet. I'm interested in JPS or Wireworld interconnects, and whichever one I buy I will probably get the same speaker cables. There are so many to choose from, that I may just try them out for awhile before I buy. This is the 3rd pair of Dahlquist speakers that I've owned and I love them. I also love the Legend Audio gear, but I am unsure about whether to get their pre-amp or another. I don't want to lose the sound of the Legends, and if I get another pre-amp I just may. Not sure how that works. Anyway, it's nice to get to know some of the people that are involved in this site. It makes things more personal. Have a great day.

Dave= foot in mouth :~(
Doug= mind in gutter :~) |
dave, what kind of question is *that* to ask of a lady?!? ;~) detlof, yes, i really *do* feel lucky, happy, blessed... i have a wonderful family, & i am able to enjoy things to their fullest, on a middle-class income, by being choosy, patient, & cheap! :>) dug seed in |
Hi Sandra,welcome! Please tell us what you have for equipment. |
Hi, My name is Sandra. I'm 53 years old, never been married (came close a few times), no kids (but I make a great aunt) and I love music of all kinds. I got interested in hi fi equipment about 8-9 years ago and never looked back. I love reading all the stereo magazines and the stereo sites and this is one of my favorites. I have learned quite a bit by reading the banter here and hope to learn a lot more. I just wonder why more females don't get into this hobby. I don't have all of my stereo put together yet, but am working on it. Hope all of you have a great day. |
Beato tu, as they say in Italy, Doug, which can mean sort of lucky, happy, blessed you! Cheers, Detlof |
hi detlof, the hotrodded lawnmower sits in the garage awaiting spring, & greener pastures... ;~) but, the 24f tempurature didn't stop me from taking the relatively stock pantera to work this a.m.! :>) the msd electronic ignition santa brought it for x-mas means it starts up almost before ya touch the key, even when cold. ah yes, another kind of sweet music, inches away from the back of my head! i don't even know how to turn on the stereo or 6-disc cd-changer it came with, & i've had the car 3 years, now... ;~) mebbe next year, it, too, will be hotrodded, as i have almost all the parts needed for my 475hp motor. it will cost less than a tune-up on those *other* mid-engined italian beasts, too! regards, doug s., ever the cheapskate... |
Grandpad, the thread you suggest, in fact exists. I myself live overseas, by the beautiful lake of Zurich, in Switzerland, in the heart of Europe. Regards, Detlof |
Cornfedboy and Detlof, thanks for the warm welcome. At this point I consider myself an old newbie. So I tend to spend more time lurking and generally keep my mouth shut, other than to ask questions. Have learned alot and gotten some good advice. Occasionally offer some advice/opinion when I at least think I know something. Great fun.
You know, the only thing missing from this thread is that most contributors didn't indicate where they live. Too bad, it would be fun for 'goners to get together. Perhaps we should start a new thread "Where R U?"! |
Hi Doug, haven't seen you around for a while. Great to see you like LL as well. How is your hotrodded lawn mower?!
Cheers! |
hey dave99, i always loved bluegrass, but never country. then i heard lyle lovett was country, & i have all his albums - does that make me a country fan? ;~) and, re: rogue - i am *not* a rogue basher. i've just heard better, is all... ;~) regards, doug s. |
Tim- Mario is planning on a end of January seminar with Rogue Audio.Not sure of the exact date yet or who else will be there.
Tim,you have to slow those spinning tires a bit!
Your dad CFB will take away your stereo if you get another speeding ticket! |
Dave your getting old, "country'aint too bad", when you give in its all over buddy! J/K. Good for you, I how ever can't manage to maintain a girlfriend that can tolerate my "ways", lol. Well have to get together eventually, when is mario having his next shindig? Just sent my ticket in from the last safe driving award I was lucky enough to recieve going down there. As the tire turns, so does life, its been a crazy year, hopefully with better to come in the future. If I can live the rest of my life with out another 9-11-01 I would be happy.
Cheers everyone and happy listening,
Tim |
Welcome to all the new posters on this thread.Happy New Year to all!!Kelly,I still have my Rogue 99.I hope to change my name soon to David99magnum!!I cant believe there are almost 300 postings here.Actually Kelly,Craig was more or less the brain child of this thread.I kinda stole his idea and started it.Thanks Craig!!!My original post here needs a bit of updating.I no longer am with the young woman I mentioned.Live and learn! I now have an 'older'(44)and wiser woman in my life.She is incredible! She lives a 1 1/2 hour drive away in Niagara Falls,N.Y. I spend most of my free days there now and I really enjoy the area.She loves music but since Im a metal head it may be a bit of an adjustment.She loves country music!! Has boots and all for line dancing! YEE HA!!! Actually,country 'aint too bad.Very nice digital recordings.Don't worry Kelly,Im not dumping analog.:~)Hey Duddy,I see ewe are still Rogue bashing! Don't forget bud,Mark is a ex heavyweight fighter! :^)Albert,you must be going nuts with no tunes man!!Hey Carl! where R U?? heh,heh,heh! I miss that! Craig,congrats dude! almost 300!!! |
fujindemon: you've told us everthing except "where r u." guess you'll need to visit that thread next. in any event, you're in good company here with your rouge gear. david99, the wise author of this longest running thread, even named himself after his rouge (or is that, former rouge?). BTW, don't even dream you're thru with your audio purchases. welcome to the 'gon.
