Greetings fellow St. Louis listeners!
I know it may seem to you that I've never been gone, but I'm finally enjoying my music and my gear again.
I seemed to have lost all interest when I quit cigarettes 2 years and going on 2 months ago, but it is finally coming around again.
Anybody ever have that happen?
I'm blaming it on the 'Chantix' drug I took to help me quit smoking, that interferes with the 'pleasure center' of the brain. That is my excuse; I'm sticking to it.
SO, part of me getting 'into' it again might be that I've changed the system I listen to most.
I've been curious about a few brands and items that get mentioned around here, so now I have a few more of them. For the equally curious, anyone that wants to hear what this gear sounds like, get with me and maybe we can pencil in some time for a listen.
I'm still listening primarilly to my Bolder-modded SB3, but also a couple of 'Audio by Van Alstine' pieces: A Trancendance Five pre-amp and updated "Ultimate" ST-70. These are piped into some Hornshoppe Horns and I'm very happy with the way it sounds in the living room. I've also picked up a 'Burson Buffer' to augment the Squeezebox, but the jury is still out as to whether it is going to stay or not.
SO, I've kept a pretty low profile the last couple of years, but times are changing and y'all will probably see more of me.
Hope all goes well with everyone else and you NEVER get to that 'dead' area I was in when I quit listening for too long. And I don't want to go back!
Best Regards,
DeadFish
