Not new to Audio but continue to enjoy and invest in the hobby. First "HiFi" system in the 70s included Sansui SP2500X speakers, Harmon Kardon integrated amp, Thorens TD-165 TT with a Stanton 681EEE. I still have the Thorens and the Stanton in great condition. A good friend still has and uses the HK and the Sansuis. The systems come quite a ways from there. Additional details of current 2-channel signal path in the Systems area but briefly...
Tekton Ulfberht speakers, Lyngdorf 2170 Integrated, Home Brew Windows music server, Dr. Feickert Volare table with Hana SL cart, Whest Two.2 Preamp,
I've constructed a HT/Audio room in the latest home. The wife (she is very into the music and my system's harshest critic) and I did a lot of work on the sound in the room where it works very well for HT and 2-ch. Not an easy accomplishment but we made the 2-ch sound a priority and we feel it's uncompromising at this point. HT includes a Denon AVR receiver, Carada 128" scope screen, JVC Projector, DIY Dual Opposed 15" sealed sub powered by two Crown amps.
And my hobby is collecting hobbies... Auto racing (8sec 2001 Bullitt Mustang drag car + 2016 Vette Z06 for curvy stuff), Target/Clay shooting (I do live in Texas after-all), RC Helicopters/Planes/Drones, Golf, and some other minor endeavors.
Life is very, very good and we are certainly blessed. Thanks for letting me join and I hope that I may be an asset to the community!
