    I'm Dave.

    Default Hi all

    Hi,

    My name is Dave and I live way across the pond in the state of Michigan. I'm 65 and have been in audio since age 12. I'm also a Folk musician and singer, playing traditional Appalachian Old Time and Celtic ballads. Started learning music the same year I got started in audio. I play fiddle, 5-string clawhammer banjo and hurdy-gurdy.

    I have owned more tube amps than solid-state, and am into high efficiency speakers. Right or wrong, they just do it for me best. Also have a decent sized vinyl collection as well as CDs. I can't afford true high end, so I make do with what I can manage to get my hands on. I listen to all kinds of music, but like Folk, Classic Jazz and Vintage/Classic Rock the best. These days I live in a small place (trailer house/mobile home) so have problems getting as good of sound as I did in better times in the past.

    I just found this forum and liked reading the many friendly posts I've looked over (unlike a few forums I've been on.) Don't know if I'll say much here, but if the right subject pops up, I may just jump in.

    Dave Leonard

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Hi Dave,

    'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man Came singing songs of love".....so sang Scottish born Donovan in 1968! The fact that I can remember the lyrics puts me at a certain vintage! Have fun here.
