Hi Y'all,
Name's Julian - and I've been a slave of my stereo system for about 50 years. I'm retired but stay very active in community and civic activities.
My wife and I lived in North Alabama until 4 years ago and moved even further south. She wanted to move because it would take us even further from the nearest audio store. We do have a car stereo store here locally, serving the needs of the most discriminating audiophile, and there is a guy in the next county who has a bose system. Maybe I'll call him and ask if I can come over and listen.
My next door neighbor has a nice 8 track machine that I'm trying to buy to improve my system, and I've got a real nice dolby thing to make it sound better.
My stuff contains the following : Took me 50 years to gather it all together. Hope it'll last another 50 years.
