Thanks for the welcome, I am mostly a reader and learner. I do not post much. but have an occasional question. I will need a short learning curve here. I have been on Audiogon for a while, again mostly as a reader. I am Mizike there. I am Walter "Allen" Sill and live in Wichita KS. I bought my first system in Emporia KS in 1978 two years before I bought my first car. I had a cheapo Kenwood direct drive TT with an Empire cart, a 50 watt per channel Kenwood integrated and Yamaha NS 1000 speakers. I still have the Yamahas, however they are very rough. I was a little hard on them in my youth. I use Tyler Acoustics Woodmere II now along with an Aesthetix Calypso, PS Audio M700 mono amps, OPPO 105, and I just ordered a Lumin T2. Not currently spinning vinyl(lazy I guess). I mostly stream Tidal, thus the new Lumin unit. For now just getting my three post in so I can take full advantage of the site, thanks, Watler61.
