Newbie to the Site Intro
« on: 12 Mar 2023, 05:59 pm »
Hi Everybody.
I am Charles Vallejo, long time AudioNut aka Audiophile. The passion struck me at a very early age, around 5, when my mother would sit me down in front of an old school turntable stereo system with some great albums, country and some classical as well as children's stories and I would sit for a couple of hours listening to them.

So here I sit 52 years later hopelessly addicted to audio. For the last 30 years I have gotten into what many would consider Hi End Audio. I have gone through the whole gamut of vintage and more modern equipment with a strong foray into all things Altec, JBL, TAD, Klipsch, McIntosh, vintage tube amps, preamps, turntables and pretty much the lot.

It's come to the end of the road and I am liquidating all my excess now.
The system I am listening to now is:
Cube Audio Nunenphur speakers
Audio Horizons Preamp
Sean Casper 2A3 amp
Denon DP7000 in custom plinth
GrooveMaster III Tonearm
Ikeda 9IIIc and Fuuga cartridges

Nearly done???

Hi Everybody.
Happy to find this wonderful site after all these years. I am Charles Vallejo and have been hopelessly addicted to audio and all things audio for 52 years. It all started around 5 when my mom sat me in front of a sears cheapo turntable stereo where I would listen to country, children's music and also classical. Loved it from the get go.

The last 30 years brought me into hi end systems focused around all the great idler vintage tables. I have cycled through over 50 great turntables, and hundreds of other components along the way as an avid hobbyist.

So, that's it in a nutshell.
