Hi, folks.
I've been "into" higher-end audio gear for nearly 40 years. High-end in my world is "what can I afford?" I was an active gear buyer/trader/seller from the mid-80s through the 90s after being introduced to hi-fi by a friend. My first foray into this wild hobby was a Jolida 302B and Daline 3.1 speakers. From there I experimented with various tube and solid-state amps, preamps, and speakers - everything from 20-watt SET to 1000-watt mono-blocks. When I relocated for a job in 2007 I had no place to set up my system until I finished my basement about 7 years ago and found myself back in search of "the sound". Still looking and am very much enjoying the adventure.
I fit into the "old-guy" category that I have been reading about in some of the threads - 64 and counting. I found this site looking for upgrade kits for my Klipsch RP-8000F speakers in my second system. Looking forward to meeting fellow enthusiasts and learning new things (DYI, etc.).
Rick
