New guy here
« on: 1 Nov 2017, 02:51 pm »
Hello Audio Circle! I just moved from California to the Mid-west (Chicago Suburbs) and I am looking to find like minded hobbyists. Also the long winters will allow for more time at home viewing movies or listening.
My HT system is based on a dated but still great sounding Golden Theater GTX-1 Pre/Pro and HK 5800 Amp and picture is from a new LG OLED65B6 Display, Oppo BDP85 and 4K Apple TV. Speakers are Boston Acoustics satellites and a DIY sub.
Stereo listening duties are handled by Musical Fidelity A3.2cr Pre and Amp, CD, MSB DAC and Dynaudio Contours.
We moved to a much bigger house and I'm loving having the space to set up my gear properly for the first time! Looking forward to learning more here.
Cheers,
Andy

My happy place. Only 1/2 the records in my collection are out now, still unpacking the rest.

Andy,

Welcome to AC!

I have a burl bowl/dish that looks an awful lot like yours. I just love burl.

Thank you all for such a warm welcoming!
I attended AXPONA last weekend, truly a highlight of living near Chicago now.
Great to see other Dynaudio fans here. Incidentally I had only learned of Salk Sound loudspeakers since joining AC and I was finally able to hear them at the AXPONA show. Truly worth the hype they receive.
Cheers
