We were in the same boarding school when we were in high school. We were allowed to return home during the weekends. So, during weekends, sometimes we stayed in his house, sometimes our house. As you know, he is a very bubbly person and has a lot of stories to tell. I listened to so many of his stories about golf, pets, and the B&O components. As you know, I am now into audio and golf.

In 1980, he was waxing lyrical about a NAD Integrated (yes, that famous NAD) and an AR bookshelf he heard at a store abroad. I was all ears, seeing if I might learn something new as I was "tweaking" an AIWA/AKAI mini component he bought us earlier in the year. I was 9.

I also credit dimfer for tipping me off on AVM liquid.

Two guys here at WS pointed me in more exotic gear directions Bogart of AA whose company always brings in little heard of gems and ttommy who is never afraid to try something different.
Years later, my older brother did it to me again! I was happy, vary happy with my system at the time he began his massive rebuilding program. Reminds me of the 6 Million Dollar Man's narrative intro......."We will rebuild him." When he ordered VR-9s that caused my comfort zone and Keith's as well to require some re-adjustments. Thanks to him, Lamm came into the picture and later VR-9s as well. I'm just crossing my fingers that his VR-11s aren't going to cause another paradigm shift.
On the software side two people primarily rocked me at the first HiFi Show we joined and got me into collecting the more esoteric stuff. Prior to that I was not as adventurous. These two cool gentlemen hung out in our room and had bags full of demo grade LPs. What started out as individual demo sessions turned into a shoot out of super collectible goodies. I think this is still the most fun I'd ever had in a show. These two are non-other than Jadis and Jon Agner. They are the ones who transformed me from a guppy to a certified shark. When they had to go, my kawawa looking collection needed some help. MVA came to the rescue with a bag full of his own more contemporary but just as drool inspiring collection. At this point I was driven over the edge and into the deep blue sea. King Neptune nga raw. Since then I've come to meet the REALLY big sharks...The Poseidons. Tamang tama dahil mga collections nila pang Poseidon Adventure.....nakakabaliktad ng mundo like MT and Coltrane and now Emperor aka Mr. 0 to 200 in 3.6 seconds. Then there are the quiet ones who will pull out recordings so rare and excellent in quality I end up yelling "Ang daya niyo naman eh! Kung wala kayong extra na puwedeng awitan, huwag niyo na lang parinig!" Yeah you know who you are!
