| Best concert you've attended SRV at the Charleston WV Municipal Auditorium. Sat down in my seat and next to me is one of my friends from high school. And my last concert. Greene Day American Idiot tour. Terrible seats but the energy of the crowd was amazing. I was probably ... | |
| How old were you when audio gear first caught your interest? Probably around 11-12. My dad took me to Montgomery Wards and we bought a stereo from them. I remember taking it to my aunt and uncles place so I could listen to Brandy by Looking Glass over and over. I was smitten with music from then on. Then I... | |
| How and where to report Scammer? "Is that your listing that the photos were stolen from? If not why do you care about it?" Are you serious? | |
| DIY mid to low end speakers. Worth the price? I have built 5 different DIY kits and have loved the whole process. Get a good soldering system. GO FOR IT. I am really impressed with the quality of the PE Overnight Sensations. Little things, but they punch way beyond what you would expect. I... | |
| Your oldest gear? Almost everything I have is old. Right now in my main system is a pair of Rectilinear 5s from 1977 driven by a Kenwood KA-7200 with a 2-year old WiiM Pro. Soon I will replace the Kenwood with a The Fisher 400 from the mid 60's. | |
| Do you own gear from defunct brands? Rectilinear and DCM. And I have two of The Fisher receivers. | |
| What is your scariest moment in High End audio? I had installed my speakers hanging from the ceiling of my attic bedroom. They were big big speakers, Rectilinear 7a's. I had to walk to my bed in the dark since there was no 3-way switch for the lights. As I groped my way to the bed, I hit one o... | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist If you haven't, check out Sierra Ferrel. Good ole girl from my state, West Virginia. And ditto on Allison Russell. | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles Not sure meat loaf related (meatloaf adjacent?) but last week we stayed in a small Arizona town with one restaurant, and it was packed, and no one had even been served so we left. "Lets see what Dollar General has to offer" We got some of their f... | |

| Most recent concert April 23, 2005 Green Day American Idiot tour Pittsburg PA | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Outlaws opened for Skynyrd. "There goes another love song" was on the radio some, but few were prepared for The Florida Guitar Army. 40 minute long Green Grass and High Tides encore blew everyone away. Skynyrd came out drunk and were terrible and... | |
| My Gray Experience Years ago I bought gray market camera gear. Luckily never had a problem. Later I bought gray market car stereo stuff. Again, all good. But always knew there could be an issue. | |

| Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation UPS drivers are well compensated. And I know our driver, he is a neighbor, well two hollers over. He is good friends with the folks that hunt on our property. When we are gone he will keep tabs on our house. My dog loves him. |
