Just a man in his prime age 
Been a fanboy of the good sound from my early ages, it’s like a chronic disease i guess. Starting listening cassettes, some vinyls, then mp3s (alot of them..), collecting favourite tracks from the 80’s; moving slowly to hi-res and now I try to listen DSD mainly (lower hi-res PCM is inside DAP and PC). It’s a pure fun to learn new things from the audiophile world (as long as I don’t have to break the bank..).
