Hello all, my name is George (Ge0). I am new to this forum as of today. I stumbled across this site a few times in recent months to read some excellent equipment reviews. So, I decided to join you. Perhaps I can even contribute.
Now a little about me. I'm in my early 50's. I have been an audiophile since I was 10. Audio sparked my interest in electronics. So, that's what I studied. I have a masters degree in Electrical Engineering from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo Michigan. I moved to metro Detroit after finishing college. I've been working in automotive electronics development ever since.
I have two hobbies. One is cycling (which I won't get into here). The other of course is audio (both home and car). I've always been a DIY'er. I've built my own electronics and loudspeakers for as long as I can remember. As a matter of fact, I'm working on a new set of speakers now. I'm in the process of selecting midrange and tweeters:
All drivers are run active via dedicated DSP and amplification channels per driver. This is what I consider fun
I belong to a local audio group called the Southeastern Michigan Woofer and Tweeter Marching Society (SMWTMS). Although I have to admit I haven't been to a meeting in years. Well to be exact, since I started having children . Why did I mention this? Well, I suspect there are a few of our members here. That, and to give you an idea of who some of my mentors were: Dr. Earl Geddes, Bern Muller, the late David Clark, the late Arnold Krueger, and the late Tom Nousaine.
Over the summer I installed an aftermarket sound system in my car after becoming frustrated with the factory supplied Bose equipment:
It consists of a 12 channel DSP amplifier and assorted Dynaudio, Focal, and ScanSpeak loudspeaker drivers. If you care to know more about my car system then please visit here: The long and involved process of upgrading my 2016 Macan S stereo system | DiyMobileAudio.com Car Stereo Forum
In addition to building things I also have a passion for understanding the science behind what we hear (acoustics, psychoacoustics, tactile acoustics, etc.). For example, has anyone seen this video describing the McGurk effect:
I suspect those folks who can hear big differences in audio cabling have been hearing some Fah's instead of Bah's
Well, that's about it for now. I look forward to being part of this forum.
