Default Hello from Chicago

What a nice site you all have here. I admit I was attracted in part by the lack of conflict and argument in your sharing and discussions. Best vibe on the web. I live out in the western suburbs, jazz and blues are the top of my listening list but I have been known to enjoy rap, punk, edm, and even a little country. My hi fi heart leans to the high efficiency of horns, but I don't match those with flea power. I have a fabulous wife, no wife factor here, in fact every room in the house has a radio or a hi fi in it. My interests are varied, I spend more hi fi time in the winter, spring I garden, summer I sail, fall and winter I hunt. I look forward to enjoying the site, pondering your comments and gleaning a few insights.
happy to be aboard,
Greg
