Good Day Everyone! Jumping in here from Greenville SC; I've been a member on Audiogon for a quite a few years and am starting
to participate here as I note a greater depth of substance of posts, equipment reviews, etc...I love listening to many types of music
from pipe organ and taiko drumming, world music, classical, all types of jazz, R&B, rock, prog-rock, new age, fusion, electronica, etc...
My dad had a big band in the 1940s-1970s and I grew up listening to all the greats of Jazz and Swing/BB him on a modest LP-based
system (Technics, SAE, Harmon Kardon, Infiniti RS7s) as well as playing music for most of the first 25 years of my life. I also spent
alot of time playing Symphonic Classical and Wind Ensemble and had great experiences doing that as well as the Big Band/Jazz Ensemble
work. Ever since, I have sought out music of all types; it's my passion and everything I pursue in this hobby is to get as close to the
"real thing" in playback as possible.
The first good system I heard was in Rochester NY in 1982,...DCM Time Windows, Hafler and Carver monos and tube pre-amp and
phono pre-amp; I've been hooked ever since! I've been through a lot of 2-ch and multi-channel audio & home-theater "phases"
but since 2009, I've focused on pure 2-channel listening and picked digital (lost a good number of great LPs many years
ago in a house water-line break) to focus all my time, money and efforts on.
In short,....love music, love this hobby-obsession and really enjoy talking and writing about audio gear and music as many hours a
week as work, life and family will allow
