Hi to All that strive for the Best !

Ever since I was in diapers I have been listening to music. That's my Dad's fault.http://www.whatsbestforum.com/images/smilies/cool.gif
My Dad's HIFI system back in the 60s comprised of JBL's , Marantz, and a Dual table.
Well lots of time has passed since then and now my kids listen to HIFI as well.
The trick is in trying to turn on as many people to the joy of listening to music, my passion.
Have had lots of different gear in my journey and am still enjoying the ride.

OB sent me a link to this site. Thanks Steve........I think.

Take care,
Rugyboogie

Hi rugyboogie,

I resided in Vancouver from 1974 to 1994. Purchased most of my audio stuff from Sound Plus while I resided there. I miss the beautiful Vancouver summers.

Think you'll find more than a few here! In fact, some own more than a few decks :)

Sorry for the late reply, been very busy.

Hi mullard88

Yes the Vancouver summers are great, just too short.
Sound Plus was a great place to go for good music and gear.
Doug had to sell due to health reasons and the new owner ( Mike ) was not interested in making the store work.
Mike closed the doors not giving anyone any notice to employees, Doug or anyone else.
Doug is now on his next chapter, enjoying life and traveling. He and I are still good friends.
When you come to Vancouver come by for a visit, doors are open.

Hi Bruce
Yes you are right we sat next to each other at Mike L place when he was host for the NWAS meeting.
Thank you for the invite, I will take you up as we travel to Seatlle and Portland 2-3 times a year.
If you should be up this way let me know, doors are open for you here too.

Take care,
Mike

Welcome rugyboogie. My dad also gave me the music bug way back when. I remember when he showed me how to use his Dual 1019 turntable with the Shure cartridge (with the little dust brush attached) feeding into his Scott amplifier/receiver.

Hi Frantz , slowGEEZR and D18

In my case the passion of living with music , it's one of the best things that my Dad passed on to me.

slowGEEZR my dad has a 1229Q Dual with a Shure cartridge, Scott receiver along with JBL Century (orange foam) speakers. Spooky, Halloween stuff....

D18 Live in the same neck of the woods, if you ever want to stop by let me know.
