Hi all!

[eddy200]

Hello everyone. I was once registered on adisc (tbdl.org in the dark ages) as deepend or deep or something of the like until I deleted my account but I am now back. I apologize for my hasty departure about a half-year ago, but I was 'caught' by my fam and had to seriously be on the down-low for a while with this kind of stuff. I now find myself in better circumstances again and would like to reconnect to this great community of peeps.

I am 21, male;
AB/DL but more DL than AB;
Straight with a GF who knows and supports me;
Christian with mixed (left right and moderate) political views.

I am also an audiophile;
Sound engineer;
Aspiring entrepreneur;
Short-hand cook;
and a bit of a connoisseur of fine tobacco products.

What sort of audio equipment do you have, or aspire to having? I once had a

and I miss it...

What manner of tobacco? pipe or cigars? (I've not heard of cigarette or chewing tobacco connoisseurs, though I am partial to an Indian beedi on occasion.)

I like all kinds of food, Fire, If it's in front of me I eat it, and there's a good chance that I've cooked it too.

Raccoon, my personal library consists mainly of CDs and LPs. I just have a standard sony CD player with a headphone out for the CDs since I don't have any SACDs or anything up that alley. However I do enjoy a good 180 gram pure virgin vinyl record. I currently spin on a technics sl-1200 Mk2, with the stock tonearm and a shure M97xE cart, running into a pioneer VSX-305 receiver. I run two sets of speakers in an A + B configuration off the receiver; a pair of Sony HH-s700, (they came with a mid-range bookshelf system) these handle the mid and upper range. The other pair is a set of speakers given to me by a friend and mentor of mine in the audiophile world (he's got like $60k plus invested in his two (2) McIntosh systems) and I don't really know what they are. They are one-way with 10" drivers, walnut cabinets and wicker grills and look to be from the mid to late seventies in origin. But they do sound great, I would value them at around $200-$300 only because they only really handle the lower to mid-range effectively, they need something else to help them upstairs.

However I would love and do plan on eventually having a system with nothing less then a McIntosh receiver, two McIntosh mono-block amps, a dedicated phono pre-amp, a VPI super scoutmaster turntable and some kind of pair of ridiculous over-the-top speakers. One piece at a time ...

As for tobacco ...
I like pipe tobacco, usually something with black Cavendish. As for stoggies I usually smoke a Partagas sambosso or padre, and sometimes I indulge in a black label. However my favorite cigar is a Rockey Patel 1992 - sooo good, especially with gin and tonic.
