I've been enjoying this hobby since 1985 and am mesmerized by all the audiophiles that I have talked with.  I've love music first and foremost, but I also love to listen to equipment as its so dam nice to look at.  I'm a big fan of Yamaha and Luxman as there equipment is so musical and enjoyable.  People like to call me the mid-fi guy, and thats cool with me, if they had low-fi, I'm good with that too.  Cheers
