Hi from the Washington coast!

oktyabr · 02:08 AM

How rude of me! And I apologize... I actually came here looking for full range information (all googles seem to end here) and posted several times before I even realized that the "introductions" forum existed! Oooops!

Anyway my name is Jon, I'm 40 something, a lifelong hobby-audiophile/speaker junky and recently moved from the Seattle area to a small town on the Washington coast with my wife and 14 year old son to pursue at least a different pace of life if not financial ease

I've owned tons of pretty good commercial gear over the years including dynaco, mcintosh, vandersteen, snell, dahlquist, magnapan, Martin logan, and tons more of vintage stuff. My favorite speaker is probably the largest Teledyne AR stuff but always seem to be searching for something new or at least different.

Our oldest two children are adults and live away from home and my current line of work usually leaves me plenty of "free" time in the winter months and I think I'm finally tired of buying someone else's equipment so finding this DIY forum couldn't have happened at a much better time.

Love the community here; lots of helpful folks and interesting reads!

Welcome to the forum! You will find plenty of good info here as well as other Washington state DIY types (and BC).

I lived on the Kitsap peninsula once, but it was too gloomy for me and had to flee south!

You traitor!

You had hardly developed any rust spots when you took off. First to Portland (There's a big change :^), then to North Carolina.

oktyabr,

Welcome to the Forum.

Best Regards,

Thanks for the welcome guys!

It is a bit of drive and my work schedule isn't all that flexible currently, but I'll see what I can do about making at least one of the meets.

Hello Jon and welcome aboard. Tell us, what little town on the coast. I was in your neck recently.

Hi Jon - and Welcome to diyAudio!!!!

Cal - I thought that they had your photo at the border entry point...

Have you been using that old fishing boat at midnight again????

Cal Weldon · 28th June 2011, 08:52 PM

Yes it's actually a converted canoe with submarine capabilities. I use beer for ballast and surface on the USA side when it's gone.
