Greetings from Oz!

[lordvader]

Hi. I guess I may as well introduce myself.
My name's Michael, and I'm from Melbourne, VIC (that's in Australia). I'm currently studying an engineering/computer science double degree at RMIT (in my 3rd year). I absolutely adore classical music, as well as rock music (real rock music, not the crud being churned out today).
I've only recently taken a massive interest in DIY and Hi-Fi in general, and have learnt heaps from sources such as these forums. My passion is audio integrity, but I guess that'll also be my crux, as most of the projects I want to attempt (and then mod) are such that I doubt I'll go beyond the "fantasise about it" stage.
I'm sure once I graduate and get a job I'll be able to indulge myself fully. In the meantime, I'm sure I'll have heaps of fun with the kits in my budget (step one: make my PC sound good ...).

Re: Hehehe

I have family in Adelaide, if that counts ...

 

[griff]

nothing in adelaide counts (JUST KIDDING!!!!)

 

[GlennME]

Yet another Melbournian.

 

[spikeymikey]

i know a hot chick fom SA? does that count? Melbournians do rock. So does Australia. Speaking of which, if you know the store audiophile, a family friend owns that store. Not sure what it's like or anything but yer.
