Hi!

My name is Mike. I live in North West Arkansas. My profession is Information Technology.

I have been in this audio hobby for the last 35 years. My father introduced me to music and great audio when I was a teenager. At the time he had JBL Paragon, Marantz electronics and a Thorens table.

Having gone through a lot of systems over the last three decades, today I have a reasonably nice setup.

Esoteric K-05 CD/SACD
ARC Ref 5SE
ARC DAC 8
ARC DS450
Revel Salon 2
Shunyata Triton
Shunyata cables (Z-Python, Z-Cobra, Black Mamba CX/HC)
Apple TV2 for streaming

Again, great to be here. Look forward to sharing ideas and advice.

Thanks,
Mike

Welcome Mike!

As Frantz said, your system is top flight and you'll find many here who will express that same sentiment.

Yeah...what gives? ;):p

Thanks guys!

Actually, was very much into vinyl. I had a Linn LP12. Sold it over 10 yrs ago - as well as my record collection. Looking back, I wish I would not have done that.

That's a common refrain I hear from people who've disposed of their record collections...

Welcome Mike,

Great to have someone to exchange opinions about Shunyata new cables in an ARC system - I am still using the old Anaconda Helix.

Glad to do that. The improvements I've heard going from the Black Mamba CX line to the Z line are fantastic. Look forward to exchanging thoughts and impressions.
