Hello from Seattle...
hello..I am Bay ..and I am an audioholic. Its been 10 minutes since my last song...sigh.
Okay, a good friend of mine emailed me and said I should join as it is a friendly place, he feels I have expertise to lend and hey, I am a social and funny guy...so be glad to have me and no I am not narcissistic at all (just teasing guys and gals). Like to see this site take off and stay friendly. I for one am not an audio snob...I like high end and I like good values...I dont chase labels..I chase value and do it yourself !!
So thank you all and look forward to chatting...
Now would someone PLEASE tell me how I can update the blank picture in the profile section !! I feel like I should be JOHN DOE...

Welcome Bay! Click on Settings in the Top Right Hand Corner. Then look to the left side of the screen for "Edit Avatar". Pick a picture for your Avatar from your computer and upload it. Also, in that same screen (on the left side) you can edit your signature to include a list of your gear, a funny quote, etc.
