Title: Why are you here?
Post by Donnie on 09/09/26 at 15:24:39

All right, here we go again in my quest to learn more about "things".

Why are you here?

I have noticed that there are several categories of folks around here, and truthfully there are probably people here for multiple of those reasons.

You have the folks who like to listen to music.
There are those who have an attraction to gear. A subset of those like to experiment with tubes and other accoutrements.
Quite a few are looking for help with problems.
Some like to buy and sell equipment, the excitement of buy low and sell high is their addiction.

I'm sure that there are a plethora of other reasons that my feeble mind hasn't even considered, but I wanted to start with something....

So I'm here because I kinda like hanging out riffraff, plus I like my music to sound as nice as I can make it within my limited abilities.

So why are you here?

I'm here, and have been for a long time, for a number or reasons.

One of the top is that I like to interact with the regulars and newcomers here--good folk, who understand the value of music and excellent audio sound. Another is Steve himself--I feel both a kindred spirit with him in important ways, and that he is also a fascinatingly different individual who provides an incredible service to the audio world and his work has enriched my life.

Donnie mentioned other reasons and I'll relist them with a few revisions:

I LOVE to listen to music. It has long been one of my favorite activities, and it has grown in attraction over the years--I totally love music: listening to it, creating it, reading about music and musicians.

Ever since my Dad got a Dynaco and AR and EMI (loudspeaker) system when I was five I have been fascinated with audio gear.

I like to experiment with tubes and other accoutrements.

I like to gather information and understanding about audio, sometimes I am looking for help with problems (great place for that), and I like to be able to help others with information or advice or assistance.

I find this is a good place to sell equipment at my idea of a fair price, and to purchase equipment.

This is a really diverse and interesting community. That is one big reason I have been here so long and return daily.
