Audio since my teens. I remember with fondness my Senn HD414 headphones, my Advent loudspeakers, my Dynaco PAS-3X, and various turntables and cartridges. Now retired, partner, father, and grandfather to some wonderful human beings who fill my life with delight even more than music does. But the music—and yes, the equipment—is still fun.
