My name is Will and I live in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley in Va. I love finding and fixing up audio gear, especially the older stuff! I have been a member here for 1 year, and love this place! :yes: It's kinda like being down at the local watering hole and shooting the chit with your buddies. There are a great bunch of guys here and I enjoy the wit and banter that goes on amongst everyone. I don't have any hi-end gear yet, the best I have right now is a Marantz 2270 with wood case. But I do have some nice equipment such as a Pioneer SX 450, Sherwood S-7100A, Toshiba SA-400, Technics SA-80 (nice lower powered receivers). Plus some decent TTs, speakers, CDPs, cassette decks, integrated amps, tuners and RTRs.
I find most of my stuff at GW, SA and other thrift shops and yard sales. I have gotten a few things off that infamous auction site also. I think the most I spent on one item was $70 for an Akai 4000DB RTR.
I like tinkering around and swapping out different components and speakers in a system, and cartridges in a TT, to find a sound that pleases me. :music:
You won't be seeing much in the way of advice from me, as I know next to nothing compared to a lot of people here. But I do read quite a few of the threads here, as I have gained much knowledge about this hobby by doing that!
My other hobby I'm passionate about is photography. Have been into the digital part of it since the beginning when the highest resolution consumer camera available was less than one megapixel. Also like shooting film too, I have four SLR cameras, plus all the required accessories, like tripods, lenses and yadayadayada. I think you get the picture!

I hope this site is around for a long time! As I really enjoy being here! :thmbsp:
