Yannis is from Limnos, a beautiful island on the northern Aegean sea and an island well known from the ancient times.

He studied physics in the National University of Athens and he spent all his active career teaching physics and chemistry.

He is very lucky to be in a nice and quiet place like that and away from the craziness of the big cities. On top of that it happens to be a music lover and an audiophile with plenty of time to enjoy his hobby in peace.

Yannis every so often he gets a collection madness and for this reason his listening room is full of audio equipment. By the way he never sales any of his old gear he just decorate them in a room for this reason he has all the audio staff he purchased over the years.

He has about 25 reel to reel tape recorders, several cassette decks and in this collection includes some of the legendary ones like Revox, Nakamichi and so on.His latest collection madness are old tube radios. He started about two months ago and he already have 10 pieces.

One of the most dedicated ACA members that he is flying two to three times per year just for one of our meetings.

Υannis jointed ACA on October 2009
