Hi -- I am a new member who's a bit dubious about Internet forums, but thinks this looks like a friendly, supportive place. I've been a music lover and audiophile for about four and a half decades. I prefer classical, jazz, and other acoustic music that happens in natural spaces.
My main system includes a Parasound P7 preamp, Parasound CD-1 CD player, VPI HW-19 turntable with SME tonearm and Shure V15VxMR, Yamaha MX-2000 power amp, a Teac X10R reel-to-reel deck, and Celestion 3000 speakers, among other things. I"m also a believer in the musical virtues of multichannel sound, so there's also three Marantz monoblocks, an Oppo BDP103 player, JR149 rear speakers, and a Chinese LS3/5A clone as front center speaker.
My secondary system -- getting more use recently because it's more of a novelty -- includes a modest little Teac AI-301DA amp (I like the small size, plus the built-in Bluetooth and DAC) that's busy breaking in Spatial Audio M4s.
