Hi from NC

[SteveZ]

I've been interested in 2 channel stereo equipment and sound since the early 70s. I'm on the older side of young. Someone on the Audiogon forum linked this site and said it was a nice place to post. Thanks for the opportunity to join! I noticed several members listed their devices. Is that the norm for this site?

Regards to all,
Steve

Hi Steve. It's great to have you here!  Yes, it's fine if you post what devices you have. I enjoy seeing what the guys use and it's been very helpful in me upgrading my gear and cables.

 Fellow NCer here.
Good place to hang your hat.
Welcome and look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks much, Don. I look forward to participating.

Hey, another McIntosh guy. 

Welcome aboard Steve.

SteveZ - another NC guy here.   In fact, much of AudioNervosa originated with a bunch of guys here in NC (among others) back in early 2007 if I recall correctly.  Pretty sure Nick B has been around since those days as well.  Where in NC are you?    I'm in Durham.

Yes, Mike. Since 2-11-2007. Happy to be here

Nick!  You beat me by 3 days.   Do you remember how you first heard about AudioNervosa?  (and were you part of the crew that got a AN t-shirt?)

[S Clark]

Welcome.  We're a small site, but that also make us a family.  Glad you're with us.

Hi Mike,
So it appears I have seniority...by 3 days...??   I checked over at AC and I registered there on 7-25–2005. So I'm pretty sure that I found out about AN through AC. I've been over at Agon for quite a while as well. Can't get logged in right now to check the exact date.
As to that T-shirt, no I didn't get one. I think Richidoo was part of the original founding group.

Yep.  Rich (Richidoo), Carl (Carlman) and a number of others were all part of that early effort.  If I remember correctly, it was Carl that first put up the AudioNervosa forums back in early 2007.   A number of us knew each other from local audio G2Gs here in the RTP area of NC and just saw a need for something better so along came AudioNervosa.  I'm sure word spread via numerous other forums such as AC, Agon & AudioAsylum.  Didn't take long for a number of other big contributors to jump in.   The t-shirts and current site branding came about in late 2010/early 2011 I believe. 

Nick, can't believe we've been here for 15 years and thank you for carrying the torch!   I'm not sure it gives us seniority, but perhaps more than a bit of senility?     I'm mostly just an occasional lurker here these days but still enjoy the visit.  A lot of good people here that have kept AN an engaging and hostile-free place to spend time.

I joined in Oct 2011.
Where's my dang t-shirt.
Looking at Steve's outfit, he should fit in here nicely.

Guys, just to set the record straight, nobody "got" one of the AN tee shirts. Carl had them made up back in the spring of 2011 as thank you gift for people who made donations to help cover operating costs of the site.

Don, you just missed it by a couple of months.

If anybody has some pics of the T-shirt, I'd appreciate it if you would post them. Would be fun to see 

[mdconnelly]

Looks like the images were up in Carl's first post but no longer there.    I also posted images in this post:

Sadly, it seems those images got lost somewhere along the way.   I'll see if I can scrounge them up somewhere.
