Hi

I'm a new member. I figured I should introduce myself. It's the easiest and fastest way to break the enchantment I must have been under for the last few weeks...

... this is what my profile says. 61 DAYS! I opened the forums at least 6-8+ times and got drawn in to just start reading. Every time! Before you know, suddenly it's been three hours and your neck hurts. I will tell you right now that I don't remember the question that I registered to post. I wish I did. I really did mean to post it, but this is where I believe the enchantment comes in. I was already mesmerized by all the information  and personalities. I read and read, and read, and read... I don't even remember most of it really. Messmerizing, I'll tell you!!

I found the forum quite a while ago when I was directed by a fellow stereo lover to check out the Decware site. ALL THE PRETTY PICTURES!! All so completely out of my grasp... I really just considered them out of my league. Along with having no real place to put a Decware setup, tubes are made of glass and are fragile. Fragile really has had no place in my world for many reasons.

I have never really frequented the forums, but  I would just occasionally lurk and daydream about having a nice listening room for the few vintage stereo pieces I walked away with from a local thrift or garage sale. This pretty well means solid state. I was OK with that for a long time. I have always been told tubes were superior, so I ignored them. I have no Idea what straw broke the camels back... but, I am pretty well done with the chase of the next failing transistor set,on its last legs needing repair to last more than a couple years not even sounding at there best.

Fortunately, I have recently moved and and now have a place where a stereo will be safe and I can enjoy it. Game on.

Cheers folks, happy to be here...

Thanks so much!
