Well-known member
It was one year ago today that I first joined the MLOC. I am humbled by the knowledge and helpfulness of the members on this site. I was definatly not an audiophile when I first joined this site. I was a person who loved music for as long as I can remember. I still wouldn't consider myself an audiophile but a person who loves music that happens to have a little bit of knowledge about audio equipment thanks to the members on this site.
I rarely post on any of the equipment or technical threads, because of my lack of knowledge on the subjects, but I read everyone and am learning everyday.
They say we are creatures of habit, I had my last system for over 18 years before replacing everything and purcahsing the one I have now. So I figure that will be the case with my current system. So far I have successfully fought off the dreaded Joeyitis disease, Although I came very close to pulling the trigger on a pair of used Summits I'd found on the Gon for $7,500. I'm back to normal and enjoying what I have.
My favorite forums are the music reviews and my favorite thread is Sunday Morning Music. Below is a list of Artists I now have in my collection that were not there a year ago, thanks to the suggestions of members from this site. I am a rocker by nature but I feel I've mellowed with age,(even though others tell me I haven't). Thank you to all for their knowledge, insite, opinions, and expierences with audio, and most of all for sharing your music selections and suggestions, Because for me IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC.
New music for me from your suggestions.
Luka Bloom -- Review from Kruppy The Turf album is outstanding not a week goes by I don't listen to at least one track,but usually the whole album.
Dead Can Dance -- Cherian recommendation and review,I like them, proof I'm mellowing out
Joe McQueen and Friends -- Sugarmedia recommendation, Ten At 86, liked it.
Susan Wong -- Another Cherian recommendation, great recording, music not my cup of tea but the wife liked it.
Nickel Creek -- Robin review, nice recording, to country for me
Amanda McBroom -- Audiostone review, I liked this one, more proof I'm mellowing out
Patricia Barber -- Wardsweb review, I live in Chicago never heard of her until I was on this site, go figure
Porcupine Tree -- Jonfo recommendation. Liked both Albums I picked up. Surround recordings are excellent. By the way Jonathan I refer to the wiring diagram of your system often. Unbelievable!!
Ours -- Sorry Tom, The lead singer is no Jeff Buckley, But the track sometimes ain't bad -- this one only cost 65 cents on ebay.
Casino Royal -- Actually heard a track member Burke brought to a Chicago Audio Society meeting before picking up the disc from classic records, good album, great recording
Don't have an album yet from Madeleine Peyroux, but as often as I here Robin and others talk about her I'm sure I will soon.
Just one more thing, I put in a review a while back in the other section of music reviews for Greg Brown's "The Poet Game" This is one of my all-time Favorites, as a middle aged man,(which many of us here are), this album really speaks to me, anyone going to the get-together in June that would like a copy let me know and I'll burn one.
Thanks to Tom for this wonderful site
Thanks to all for the last year
Thanks for listening
