Introduction

Looks 14 in these photos as well!!

I am REALLY old. I mean REALLY!!!!!!!!

You, I and the overall majority here are relatively old*, in the perspective you just put it, without a doubt.

Asian girls look younger in general, I agree. Just from Lisa's pictures, and of the three other girls in her band, I too would say between 13 and 15.
This is all relative.

When I first saw Dr. K's avatar and his first post and first picture of his rig, it slightly crossed my mind that she could be one of his daughters.
But I tried googling first, and I found out who she was; Lisa from the Black Pink's band: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Pink

She's very pretty (20-years old), and she is not particularly my music genre (after watching some youtube videos), but that's ok, that's more than ok as a cool avatar with a special young cachet of innocence and peace. The system is well organized, peacefully, passionately and discretely emphasized. The overall effect is pleasant, thoughtful, original, ...I just like it all. This is all bonuses to us. ...It's the music that drives us, that makes our wheels turning. It's all electrifying.

If you observe carefully you can have a fair glimpse of the music genres that makes him orbiting around. I'd say some jazz, some classical chamber, some new age, etc.

* Between 40 and 80 (average 60).

I did google her before I asked. I wanted to confirm your coolness factor level. :b

I like your system, your room, your taste...welcome!

Dayum! That was fast. Black Pink is awesome! Thanks for the welcome.

 

[dr k]

Thanks. Back in the day, Pipedreams were out of my financial sphere. I'm driving my ALS with the Carver Cherry 180 tube amp, and they are very synergistic match as expected. This weekend I'm going to hook them up to my Reference Line 100 watt Class A solid state amp (remember those?).

 

[dr k]

Ha! Fooled ya. I wish more women were in this hobby. She's a member of a new girl group out of South Korea. They debuted a year ago and have become internationally popular.

Yes, I too love line sources. The ALS is different than all other line sources I know. It produces a huge soundstage but has very focused imaging like a 2-way monitor speaker. No more 6 feet wide vocals.

LOL. So am I. She's the youngest in the group. I think the oldest is the dark haired one, who's 22.

Are you a FBI profiler? Cuz you're damn close! I like almost all genre of music, including Asian pop.

No, I'm just a French Canadian with various music taste like you. I'm not particularly fond of Pop, Rap, Hard Core Metal, Disco, ...that kind of stuff.
But I'm wide open with creativity and originality and dance music that is peaceful for the kids. ...Including us, of course.

Hello dr k. Welcome to WBF!

May I ask what part of Texas you reside in? I am in the Arlington area but travel a decent amount around the state.

Relatively old???

I beg your pardon, we are in the second trimester of life.

0 - 33 first trimester
34-66 second trimester
67-100 third trimester

Shorten the bake period to 90 years and maybe I can make it into that second trimester already.

The people lucky enough to hit the third tiers with all their parts intact can count their blessings day by day.

What is the life expectancy in the USA in 2017?

Life expectancy for males is 76.37 years.

So, the third and last tiers is roughly ten years, and not thirty-three years. :b ...Good luck Spider-Man!
_____

* Divide 76 by 3 and you have 25.33

1. 0 to 25.33
2. 25.33 to 50.66
3. 50.66 to 76.37

Anything above 76.37 is like to reborn again, starting all over @ zero. ;-)

Welcome to WBF, dr k. But I think the photo under your name is inappropriate.

There are plenty of girlie sites on the internet for old men. Please don't make WBF one of them!

How do you geezers ever expect to interest women who like music and, maybe, audio in our hobby -- and in WBF -- with gross and offensive posts and discussions like these?

Welcome to WBF, dr k. But I think the photo under your name is inappropriate.

I must admit that I also find an old guy behind what appears to be a thirteen old girl creepy, whoever she is.

Ron, I have no clue what you're talking about. I don't even want to think about it. Next time I won't ask about artists in people's avatar.
I am very surprised by your comments. We all know now who the young artist singer is.

Regards,

Hello Dr. K and please allow me to offer you a very warm welcome to the What's Best Forum! We have a couple of members from down in your neck of the woods here. I am very familiar with most all of the components within your rig. Do you know if you have V1 or V2 of Bob's crossovers?

Also, if you are ever interested in custom granite footers for the speakers or custom aluminum footers with spikes for the speakers, I can lead you in the right direction. Congrat's on acquiring a bit of history within your rig. These will be Bob's last flagship speakers! I have a couple of buddies that own these speakers. Two down in Florida and one down in Atlanta. If you are ever around the NC/Tenn border in Sept, grab the bases and bring them up to Carverfest. Bob would be happy to sign them.

And Bob - geez! There are plenty of disgusting girlie sites on the internet for old men. Please don't make WBF one of them!

Thank you for the welcome. The avatar is a 20 year old pop music artist in Asia. Have I violated a forum policy? If someone used Ariana Grande as an avatar, would that be inappropriate too? If I'm violating any forum policy, I'll be happy to change my avatar and apologize to you all.

Old guy? Since when is 40 old? 13yo? Creepy? She's a 20 yo Asian pop music artist. And she's very conservative by western standards. How you can sexualize a dorky face photo of an adult music artist is beyond me. Please get your mind out of the gutter.

Then I am not part of the "we" group.

But if I have learned anything as I have aged, it is that age literally is just a number. You are as old as you choose to be and think you are. I live in an "over 55" community where most of the residents are well north of that. Lots of guys at or over 70 at the gym regularly, playing tennis, pickle ball, golf, running (not a lot of those), fast walking, etc. Sit on your butt all day listening to music (or anything else) and you won't enjoy aging.

Oops. Sorry for the OT rant.

 

[treitz3]

Gentlemen, I think there might have been a misunderstanding on the avatar. It's all good unless someone points out something specific and without question otherwise.

You have not violated any forum policy, dr k.

Gentlemen, let's carry on without the drama, shall we?

Welcome to the forum... you're room looks like a great getaway.

off topic — i wouldn't mind a rule that we post a picture of ourselves, in the event we cross paths at an audio store, audio show, etc. (said the guy with the cat avatar!) the internet already depersonalizes us all, why exacerbate that with photos of something other than ourselves?
