I'm new to the forum. I am a former musician which qualifies me to tell myself, yes that sounds great, or no, that is awful. A blessing and a curse, depending on the view point. I enjoy normal people. discussing music and audio equipment, especially, at real world pricing. I don't don't professional baseball player money to bankroll this hobby (obsession) but I enjoy taking steps to get the most out of what I have which is probably 'low fi' compared to many others. I am retired, and so I am not hopeful of ever owning a mega system. Thanks for letting me do a quick introduction. My likes are jazz, blues, new age, pop, Celtic, Viking music, some RR. No R & B.
