Hi,
I've been into audio since I was 16. My first high end system consisted of Dahlquist DQ 10s driven by Hafler Electronics and a Connlseur Turntable with Grace Tonearm and Sumiko F9E cartridge. Soon I was working for the local High End store in Belleville, IL called Audio Musicale right outside St.Louis, MO.
My system has continued to evolve during my career as an educator for 30 years to its current state which still evolving.
