Hello All!
My name is Chalkdust, some people call me Captain Chalkdust for short. I am brand new to the hobby, and even more brand new to the Circle.
Here's how I re-discovered 2 channel, at an estate sale, I picked up a little stereo receiver for $32. A Vector Research VR-2200a from the early 80s. After going to goodwill and buying the cheapest pair of speakers to make the little receiver worked, I found some Sony Core Series Bookshelves and bought a Schiit Modi3. I was hooked! An upgraded disc player, a splurge on some Tekton Lore's, and a gifted old AVR later, it's now a bit of an obsession.
I had forgotten the joys of just sitting and listening, it has brought back the experiences of my tape trading days in the 90s. If you know what B&P means, you'll understand.

I am eager to interact with my neighbors here, virtually to learn and in hopes of meeting in person some time, when we can. Btw, I am in Chesterfield. Thanks in advance to all!
