Member Countries???

[BajaGringo]

So what countries are you all from? I am a Yank born in California but living in Baja California, Mexico...

[Marco]

Most of us here are somewhere in the UK, Baja. I'm in Wales, as you can see from my location.

You certainly seem to have settled in ok anyway, judging by your number of posts! Nice one :smoking:

I love the subject Marco - have been an audio nut going back 30+ years when I was doing service in the Navy and have never looked back. I find it quite interesting to hear and share the perspective from new friends abroad. My dad was born in Germany, my mom in Sweden and I have lived and worked abroad in Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Singapore, Sumatra and now finally here in Mexico, where I plan to finally set anchor.

I appreciate the forum and allowing me to participate...

[Marco]

You're very welcome :)

I hope this will continue to be one of your favourite haunts!

I like the perspective on hi-fi given by our overseas members.

Marco.

Not with that life history it won't. :lol:

[BajaGringo]

But the good news is that even wearing a straight jacket, one can enjoy a day of good tunes on good audio gear...

[Filterlab]

Providing of course that one can actually reach the controls.

Once a Glaswegian criminal, always..........., strait-jacket or no.

I agree with thoughts, Baja, but 'Looney Tunes' may be more appropriate with Marco's potted history.

(Always thought there was a bit of the Itie in you, Marco. Maybe you forgot to include that bit about selling duff ice-creams in Sauchiehall Street)

A touch of Latino Gaelic, no doubt.

Scusi, por favore
