Hi Everyone!
I'm Pat and I'm from the South Hills of Pittsburgh. Pretty awesome to find this forum as it seems like a lot of you are local. Besides just talking about all kinds of audio stuff I'm hoping to learn more about repair/upgrade work and find someone local to help diagnose an amp project of mine that isn't working well.
Anyways... about me... my musical tastes are all over the map, I grew up with and still love 80s/90s alternative, I like 60s/70s classic rock, I like modern prog and jam, I like all things jazz, and pretty much everything in between. I've been a tech geek and music enthusiast all my life so naturally I've always wanted to have the most badass system possible, but I've always been on a tight budget... enter the world of DIY and buying used audio gear.
