New to your forum here...been out of the scene for a few years and just decided to dust of some of my equipment and get back into it (lol not going so well in that end butt working on it)...any way while I was piddling with with my old equipment I just got to thinking about old times and how I got started as a bass head...lol me and my best friend started in early 90's with about the cheapest and crappiest equip you could buy...so anyway it got me curious about you other members...what started the bug? What got you interested? Whether you're a basshead, audiophile, car audio enthusiast or whatever you call yourself I'm interested in hearing about your experience and what piqued your interest

As a child/teen I had my father's EXCELLENT Mcintiosh 20W MONO tube amp, a Mcintosh preamp (also tubes) and a 15" Altec Lansing studio monitor speaker in a huge cabinet to play with and on!! Talk about AUDIOPHILE quality sound equipment!

IOW my FATHER taught me to be an audiophile! The best EQUIPMENT!

Now I have two Klipsch La Scala speakers powered by a Macintosh MC2105 SOLID STATE amp, and two 15" Subwoofers through a Phase Linear 400 power amp! BIAMPING! Not great EQ but I have a 20 band stereo professional equalizer with 1/4" phone plug inputs/outputs NOT IMPLEMENTER YET! ! Just two LPFs on the RCA inputs to the Phase Linear 400, which with the BASS control on the Technics preamp handles pretty nicely

Oh and that Alpine auto system I have in Baby II? Still sounding GREAT!! Not quite as great as my INDOOR system, but little is!

What is it with you and CAPS and exclamation points? Are you always excited and yelling?
When I read the stupid shit you write, I feel like I'm on an emotional roller coaster. All the yelling and excitement.

I have Bipolar Disorder, became unmanageable for me in 2015 and I got on 100mg Seroquel HS which helps me. Of course CDB Oil and Cannabis also helped me, for YEARS!

Alright then, lol. MAKES SENSE!

As Frank Zappa said, "I'm not normal". In fact, I say "Why be normal?" and "What box?" and embrace the label "weird". Better than being BORING!

If you guys means John Queerthe and by atoms you mean little boys booty holes, then yes, he does dream of such a thing.

No, I certainly DO NOT mean little boys booty holes. I mean those things that retarded scientists think are physical. Those little mirco-torsion fields.
