Cool Hello From Western NC


Hi Everyone.

I have been a bit of an audio maverick all my life. Back in the 70s when my friends were buying modestly priced high volume brands (Pioneer, Sansui, JBL, etc.) I would same my milk money and buy more higher end brands (Tandberg, ADS, B&O, etc.). Not that there is anything wrong with volume brands, but I did take heat for spending $1k on a receiver.

The other thing about me is that I never throw anything audio or video away. I still have and use my original receiver and speakers that I bought in 1978. I also have collected a good deal of vinyl over the years that I still listen to.

Back in the early 90s I added Dolby Pro Logic to my 2-channel system which has now evolved to the full 7.1 system it is today. The pieces were added bit by bit as I could afford.

So here I am chasing the ever elusive flat bass response out of my subwoofer.

Today I frequent sites like AVS and AudioKarma along with my other hobbies.

I like to listen to my analog LPs in multi channel surround mode on my Lexicon.
I'm currently digitizing my LPs to store on a big media server along with all my photos, CDs and DVDs.
I like 70s Prog Rock.
I despise "formula" music.

These are just my opinions and anyone into audio is cool no matter what they listen to or what they listen to it on.

Re: Hello From Western NC


Welcome, resguy! We'd love to hear about some of those oldies that you have floating around.


Note that we have now begun moving vendors to the new pull down option at the top of the forum pages. You will find it between "Shack Shopping" and "Glossary". This will represent a great improvement in the vendor reference database, making it easier than ever to find what you are looking for.

Contact me with any suggested entries, category recommendations, or additional information about the vendors that we have. If you are a vendor and want your company listed, there is an option to provide us with the information.
