I was raised on classic rock I got absolutely eat up the Tragically Hip in the late 1980s and followed the tour buses all over the USA(and into Canada once) from about 1995 and sold antiques and rare vinyl and other rarities of pop culture cannabis and pepper seeds that I had bred too. Lifelong NORML member I love bicycling and gardening but hate the outdoors. I am a voracious reader and usually reading 3 books at a time get bored with one put it down start back on another. I have the same Carver 6250 receiver that I got for graduation in 1990 but have JBLs Bose 501 and 301 with TAD drivers and Peerless tweeters Norman Laboratories Model 10s which I have redone the surrounds and crossovers on recently I have an ancient Technics SL-DL5 that has had the speed adjusted on by Me every 3 years or so.I use a DVD player for Cds but listen to vinyl quite a lot.I do not dig surround sound or watch movies up loud.I am thinking about building some open baffle speakers and buying a new Ortofon cart as the one I use is 30 plus years old.
