Hello to all, I'm glad to be here and look forward to making new friends. I suppose a little about myself is in order here.
It has been a long time for me, having started a family and not being able to keep up with the world of quality stereo and equipment. My old Marantz gave it up, and since then, I haven't had anything of value worth mentioning. I WAS able to get a $600 stereo VCR in 85 when the TV networks started broadcasting in stereo and the remnants of my good system carried it well. Miami Vice was awesome if you remember, and I anticipated THAT for weeks! LOL Even the grouchy ol lady had to admit that was good.
So, now that's all in the past, kids are grown and long gone, and I'm about to retire soon and need a good hobby to keep me busy and keep me from getting rusty too soon. I'm a cabinetmaker and really enjoy my work. I anticipate making home entertainment centers, shop standard or custom, and any kind of custom woodworking that throws me a challenge is what I really enjoy.
The other thing is that now I have a chance to assemble a really nice stereo system and enjoy it. (and NO, I don't want anything with a damn remote!) I'm really excited about getting my first Sansui receiver. I've heard them many times over the years and I want one! The same goes with a nice pair of Bose 901's, I just don't think I could go wrong with that combination.
In summation, I'm looking forward to a new life of stereo enjoyment. And being here with a whole community of people who share the passion. Awesome!
