Hi All
I just joined and thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Bob. I'm retired and currently residing in Niagara Falls NY. I'm a confirmed bachelor and I've been an audiophile for many years. I like all kinds of music, but my favorite is classic rock. As you can see by my avatar, I love Pink Floyd.
I hope I can contribute to this forum and if I make any mistakes, please don't hesitate to tell me.

Welcome to the Lounge!
I love Niagra Falls and have been there many times but not recently. Gotta get back there someday.
I love PF too and should have my WYWH SACD tomorrow!

Niagra Falls, slowly I turned . . .
Welcome, Bob.
When I saw the thread title I was thinking Buffalo or Niagra Falls.
I'm eagerly awaiting WYWH, as well. I still remember hearing it for the first time while I was at SU.

Thanks for the welcome Guys. I saw the WYWH tour June 28, 1975 in Hamilton Ontario Canada. Man, I remember it like it was yesterday ;D

It was by far the best concert I ever saw.

Welcome to the forum Bob.... Floyd and old sorta just go together. Their music and where I was in the 70s made for a great mix!!! ;D They are still one of my favorites also. For me, The Wall is something I can listen to over and over and over again.....  |

Welcome to the blue wall. Let us know what you have for gear so we can get a feel for where you are and where you are going! (Pics work, too!)
You've probably read quite a lot here before joining. If that's true, this place struck a chord.
We are friends and mostly polite and respectful. Those of us who suffer from OFS are tolerated. (Old Fart Syndrome)

Thanks for the welcome Guys. I've only been here 3 weeks and I really enjoy it here. Lots of friendly people who have one thing in common. We enjoy being audiophiles.
Note: See my sig for a list of my gear. This has been my system for the last 15 years and I've never felt the urge to upgrade. To say I'm happy would be an understatement.
BTW, my amp and linestage are both tubed. As of right now, I'm without them. They are at my local dealer being re-tubed.
One more thing. I will be a member of the Emotiva family as I plan on buying an ERC-2 cd player.
Thanks again for making me feel at home.

Thanks again for making me feel at home. Your welcome! Now, go wash the dishes! Unless you have a date. Then make them wash up. All kidding aside, please let us know your impressions of the ERC-2 when you have had a chance to evaluate. We love reviews! |

For me, The Wall is something I can listen to over and over and over again..... I like all Floyd albums but my favorite three are: 1. Dark Side Of The Moon. 2. Wish You Were Here. 3. The Wall. |
