Hello everybody,
I’ve been looking at these forums here at Audioshark for a few days and wound up kind of inspired. A few days ago I was invited to join by Rob (Ohbythebay) and Bob (Northstar) and saw that the mission title stated that it was a place for “High-End” audio folk. So I assumed it was not a place for me. You see, I don’t own any “High-end” audio that I know of. It is way out of my reach anyway and kind of makes me nervous to be around that kind of gear. Of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that gear or those who have it, that’s nice. It just isn’t my world. I then ran into Bob on another forum that will remain nameless. (It’s also where I know Rob from). He set me straight that I actually could join if I desire to and also extended an invite to me.
So here I am. I’m here because of things going on at that other forum that bother me and sadly, it used to be a nice place, but over the past year it has become hard to post there due to being jumped on from all directions for the slightest things such as a misspelled word or being put down because your gear is not the same as theirs or people baiting you into some sort of schoolyard fight. It just feels so repressive. There are a few good folk there, but I notice they are not around much now days.
Anyway, since I was invited to come here I guess I have some redeeming quality of some type. I’ve been in this hobby a few years, but I’m no expert and I don’t always get it right. I know what I know, but that’s about it. I’ve kept my ears and eyes open and have learned from the folk on and off forum, who know what they are doing and happy to share and teach. At my core though, is a passion and extremely deep love of music. That is first and foremost with me. I have had the love of music since birth. It was never really nurtured in my family so I nurtured myself in it. So deep is my love of music that I not only listen of course, but I pick up on what the artist is doing or conveying. (I’ve always had that ability as far as I know). I also have learned to use music as energy. I have used it to help heal and change environment, not only self, but also in groups. I’m also a musician (who’s a bit out of practice I might add).
I do strive for the best sound reproduction I can by working with what I have - whatever name you want to attach to that.
So that’s a little about me and I’ll try to be as helpful as I can, but most likely I’ll have more questions and need help than I provide. One can’t know everything because willful learning doesn’t stop unless one stops wanting to learn and then forced hard learning takes over.
Even though I’m not high-end and all that, I hope I prove myself of some use around here.
Thank you.

And if you don't, you simply are more modern. :derf:
