Hi everyone, I'm 48, sell new Cadillac's for Don Massey and have been in to Audio since I was a kid. A good friend of mine had a Magnavox console stereo (really his folks) and we used to listen to the Venture's on it. What great sound that thing had. Because of that, we started to play the guitar, which I still play today. So now, 36 years later I find myself collecting older Pioneer gear and listing to cd's as apposed to albums. I have a small collection of Pioneer gear, SX-626 (two of them), SX-650, SX-1500TD, SX-980, SX-1250 (two of them), SX-D7000, Series 20 A-27, the infamous SX-1980 and A-88X. I listen to all of them from time to time. Right now I have the SX-D7000 hooked up to Infinity SM-225's (I run two pair hooked in parallel). Source is a Sony DVP 7700 and a Monarchy 22-A D/A converter With a Velodyne CT-120 sub for bass. Not a bad setup. Excellent soundstage and detail. I have gotten a lot of good info. from Audiogon. If anyone has any questions about the older Pioneer gear, I will be more than happy to answer them, if I can. Mike

A while back Garfish mentioned he lked the idea of getting to know some of us better.As no one has started a thread like this before I will take the plunge.I have been involved in and read many heated exchanges here in AudioGon.I hope no one attacks me for this thread saying "who cares about you,this is audio" Anyway,Im 45 and live in W.N.Y.I have never been married but have a music loving 11 year old daughter who lives with me.I have been a nurse for 20 years.Before that I was a Navy Corpsman for several years.I recently became engaged (first time) to a beautiful 30 year old music loving woman.At my age a 30 year old is a keeper and I have never been happier!! My other interests??Im into vinyl,who has time for anything else??
