How old are you?

60+7
(Do we get to erase this whole year......?)

Is it a stretch to say Hi-Fi enthusiasts helped advance the quality of live music?

Double nickel and a dime. Tunes cranked now and for most of it. 
Time takes its toll; have exact change. 

Lovers of parties,
Lovers of fun,
We are the Class of 81!

So, 57.

Got my first system, an all-in-one unit from Sears with an 8-track player, in 1978. Built my second system myself from parts at Radio Shack and plans I found in books at school. This led to studying electrical engineering in college. After trying a number commercial systems over many years, I am back into building my own tube-based amplifiers to use with commercial sources. Love DIY!

Yah, as I thought... average here is 50-60 years old... the age when it’s ok to spend tons of money for nice sounding gear :)
