I'm sorta new to the forum, don't have much to say most of the time. I was taught it's better to remain silent and have people think you're a fool than speak and remove all doubt.

I started in hifi back when I was in high school, 1970-ish, with a pair of Infinity Transmission Line something or others, the ones with the Walsh tweeter. Back in the day it was getting that upper octave that made the stereo for me.

Took a big turn one day when I heard a pair of Klipschorns at a party.... they were playing Flim and the BBs first album, of course on a turntable, think it was a B&O tangential tracker with that lovely B&O cartridge... tracks like ugly on an ape at 1(!) gram.

Anyway, here I am now with the same Klipschorns I bought back in '79, after going through many merry-go-round rides with amps, preamps, cd players, turntables etc.

Pretty much just 'enjoy the music' as of late, no real ambitions to augment the stereo.

I guess I shouldn't say that, I'm starting to think of a second stereo in the living room (the big rig is in the basement).... already collecting bits and pieces to make it so.

I hadn't seen you around and worried that you'd left the fold.

You need to post more and maybe bring back the underdog avatar.

ok, back by popular demand.

I saw someone else with "my" avatar, thought I would change it rather than ruffle feathers using my 'simpsonizeme' picture... so folks would recognize me if they saw me in meatspace.

That term always kinda creeps me out.

Hi LousyTourist,


Nice to meet you Sir.

Go on with that Second Stereo in the Living Room. :thmbsp:

I have one in the attic, one in the terrace, one in the living room, two in the bedroom, one in each of 3 kids room. Even one in the bathroom. (and in my car i have 2 15 inch woofers in the trunk, and in the van the kids have 4 way system with a sub.) :music:

Its good that the wife tolerates my crazy hobby.

yours,
Foo
