Who Is The Oldest


I would be interested to know who is the oldest member at The Shack, that is still actively participating in their theatres...By that I mean, those who are still doing things like improving acoustics, calibrating and tweaking their systems, and the occasional upgrade..

Being an "oldie" myself, I am aware that there are very few of us on the forums..

I'm now 67 and almost every day I'm doing "something" in the theatre..even if it's just cleaning things..

Let's hear from you oldies out there, and what you're up to..

Re: Who Is The Oldest


My dad is 68 and still tinkering around with his HT and Stereo room...his name is Richard so its not a bad word My origianl word was differnt from tinckering but was edited for some reason...now my post makes no sense, just wanted to clear that up before folks thought I was an old guy with a loose mind.

Well Prof... I thought I was probably on the list but I'm just 48. Looks as if I have a ways to go to catch up with the excellent likes of you.

I am only 19. At least, that is while I am playing with all of these toys.

67, eh? Whippersnapper! I may only be 55 but I feel a lot older.

Re: Who Is The Oldest


This is one of the few forums that I read where I'm not the oldest member. Makes me a happy camper. I will celebrate my 39th birthday this year for the 17th time.

Re: Who Is The Oldest


I just love the fact that some things don't diminish with age. My love of faithful audio reproduction is at its highest level ever at 48. My computer room system is well beyond anything I had when I was in my twenties...

Re: Who Is The Oldest


Home theater is just the latest in a long line of high quality audio in my life. I have explored vinyl extensively, SACD, DVD audio, and CDs of course... and finally Home Theater. The intricacies of HT are something I never thought would come to be in consumer audio reproduction. I have fallen in love with this stuff!

As a new member I thank you guys for making me feel welcome here.
