Hey All - I'm Tim. I thought I would properly say hello. Been reading a lot, and posting a little in the past weeks since @HayesWeighsIn told me about the forum. Seems like a fine collection of people jawing about things I enjoy.
I grew up western NY, shuffled around the N.E. US a bunch in my late teens, early 20s, spent a few years in Ontario, finally ended up in NYC for nearly a decade before moving with a wife and child to Los Angeles area. I work on the picture side of post production so I’m sorta stuck with the ‘big’ cities for now.
I inherited an old Pioneer PL512 from my uncle somewhere in my early 20s and started buying records, mainly indie rock and electronic stuff. I spent one semester at University of New Hampshire and I think that’s when I REALLY fell in love with vinyl, and began really expanding my musical tastes. Did very little in those months except hang out at the radio station and learn about bands as I randomly grabbed records from their HUGE collection to put on air.
I’ve had a modest collection that has grown and shrunk over the years but scaled all the way down to 4(ish) cubes before moving out west. That has already started expanding again rapidly in the past few years of course.
Now that I’m properly moving into middle age, feels like the perfect time to start getting more serious about sound and my setup while at the same time start feeling very bad about the abuse I put on my old records and that poor ol’ Pioneer.
Anyways, Hi!
