Hi all.
I'm newer to hi-fi and I'm here to listen, ask some hopefully educated questions, and learn a thing or five.
I've inherited most of my gear, but have been upgrading as I can, with the mindset of diy. (Doing this on my own has been as enjoyable a hobby as a good listening session.)
I have an AR XA w/Grado, Nikko Beta 40 Pre, Nikko Alpha III Power, AR91 (3-way, floorstanding)
I dream about building my own Phono Preamp, interconnects, a pair of speakers my wife digs, and a turntable someday.
So far, my exposure to Hi-Fi has been Jim Smith's podcast, Allen Wright's Tube Amp Cookbook, and some of Frank Van Alstine's Audio Basics archives.
I share my listening space with my kids (3 & 1) My kids dig the music and we have a lot of fun.
