High end stereo systems aka audiophile.  Currently running Genesis 201 speakers with custom tube mono's.  Don't ask about the theater room in the basement.



WOW can i come over?? *)*

If you don't mind me asking, what are you using as a source with that gear?

EAD Signature processor, custom CD player given to me by an engineer that worked at NSM, the CD output is run through a Genesis Lens which does a fantastic job taking out the digital clipping.  The tube amps are one of kind which were designed and built by an engineer in New Jersey specifically for the 201 mid/tweeter.  I got the speakers and amps from a writer/critics for one of the audiophile magazines.

Awesome.

Do you use the EAD for 2 channel listening? (sorry about the questions, wrong forum i know, just don't get me asking bout cables *)*)

EAD is used strickly in 2 channel.  I had a Macintosh 2 channel processor but I found I liked the EAD more.  Cables are custom Kimber cables except for the sub towers, those are the Genesis cables.

and flying radio controlled nitro methanol planes.

20 years ago that was my main hobby along with racing karts. Used to be the local club captain, and worked at a shop selling radio equipment and plane kits. Enjoyed pylon racing and also slope soaring - still got a few planes around here, will fire them up one of these days.

I'd been into rebuilding muscle cars for many years, only one I have left now is a 1980 VC Brock. Dont get it out much these days !!!, in fact only been out once in the last 6 months and that was for a mates wedding.





I was into the bmx scene when I was growing up and also like to play around with 80's freestyle bikes, my orange ones totally built using NOS frame & parts and has never been ridden- its just to good

used to collect action figures and toys my self

i actually miss the thrill of collection toys. nothing beats finding a bunch of strawberry shortcake dolls for $1 and making $80 or one day found a near complete set of lion voltrons kid wanted $2 and then said nah 50c so i said keep the change and gave him $5 note. i resold for $180  $#$

atm im getting into going bush,fishing camping and trapping

I used to be into cars years ago.. i still like and can appreciate a nicely modified car no matter what it is.. big or small.

This 1980 Escort panelvan was my favourite pastime, spent a shitload of dollars doing it up, had a warmed over 2 litre in it and used to kick some ass. Sold it to make room for the pins and only got about a third of what i spent on it.. as i always knew i would if i sold it.

this usually only got weekend cruising use (i owned two cars at the time)  It was lucky to clock about 3000kays in a year! Sometimes im sorry that i sold it... especially as the young guy who bought it trashed it !!!
