Howdy from Texas!
Long time lurker, thought I would join in the fun.
About me...... I am a maintenance manager at an O&G manufacturing plant in Columbus Texas.
For many years I played guitar/bass and vox in punk/garage bands.
I and a friend opened a record store in Missoula Montana in the mid 90’s that I left and he is still running it today.
At the same time I was a manager/salesman of a hi/fi shop called Stereo Plus/Everything Electronic
I gave up playing music because it (me) was hazardous to my health.
I have always been into record collecting but have had to start over many times do to
A-selling my records to fund my addiction or
B- having my records stolen by a junky friend or girlfriend.
I have been sober now for 15 years.
Sobriety is boring but I e learned that boring is good for everything but my waistline...
I set out to not reveal too much about myself but look what I have done;)
My system consists of Dunlavy SC-IV, SM-1, SC-1, HRCC, Purifi amps, many modified Dynaco ST-70’s
PAS2’s, Akito PH-2, Phonoclone, ARCAM avr390,
Thorens TD-125mkII, TD-160, Technics SP-25, Rega P-5
Fidelity Research FR-64fx, Sony PUA-7 (stand alone), Jelco SS-750d
I also collect vintage moving coil cartridges from Fidelity Research, Accuphase etc..
But my favorite cartridges by a mile are Aidas Black Sound Red Heart(phenomenal) and Transfiguration Aria (also phenomenal)
I’ve also built a few DIY speakers from Zaph’s aluminum monitors to Seas Loki and the above Dunlavy HRCC
So that’s me in a nutshell.
Oh, I’m a dog lover and general animal rescuer.
Thanks for having me here.
