Hey there...
« on: 25 Aug 2020, 02:19 am »
Hi there,

Just checking back in to this site after a decade or so away.  Figured I should stop by and say hey first.  A little about me...

I'm a frustrated musician and total audiophool!  I've lived in south-central Wisconsin for the last four years or so but have lived all over the country and on both coasts. 

Current setup goes as follows...

Ortofon A90
SME 310
Garrard 301
Pass XP-25
Cambridge CXC Transport
Roon ROCK Server
Sonore Micro-Rendu
PS Audio DirectStream DAC
Aesthetix Calypso Signature Preamp
Pass X-150.8
Pure Audio Project Trio 15 TB's

I'm definitely more of a vinyl guy, but streaming is nice when you're too lazy to get off the couch and flip the record.  I just recently picked up the PAP speakers, which are big open baffles and am looking around for the right tube amp to pair them with.  Prior to this I was running PSB Synchrony Ones, which were a better match with the big Pass beast.  I borrowed a friend's Decware Zen Triode SET and am kind of in love with it.  Now if it only had about 10x the power...

I'm into all kinds of music, with a heavy emphasis on weird rock and roll and electronic music, weird jazz, and avant garde music.  All that plus trashy 80's pop.

Anyway, looking forward to nosing around here more often.  Drop me a note if you have thoughts on a good amp pairing for the PAP's!

Thanks!
