that is he SAYS howdy.
i have been remiss in posting here but now i will change that. i can yap for as long as anybody.
first, the music i love. mostly jazz, world, rock n roll, classical (self guided for the most part), opera hasn't bitten me yet, hip hop is for others, some pop, and other music that i take a shine to.
equipment. i started with dynaco a25s, then stacked a25s, dynaquad ambience extraction, even now (just so you BARELY can detect rear channels). i had infinity monitor jrs, LS3/5As, i own spendor s3/5s, maggie MMGs, and i still love my Fried model RIIs. i had the sub (transmission line both channels) from the Fried model H and am used to hearing IMF monitor IIIs and Fried monitor IVs so i NEED the low end.
i dearly loved the ADC XLM, and the Sonus carts, grace F9e, plus the micro-acoustics 2002e. i also love moving coil carts like my FR1mkIII, ortofon mc200 (now retired and in need of soundsmith), AT oc9, a krell, and would love to go into the upper middle of ortofon's line, and higher like the a95. i have a sota sapphire/MMT combo and had the grace 707/kd500 combo. i once had the rabco st4 tt on which the XLM sang. i also used a grado F1+ on that tt which i found to be a fantastic tracker and was quite musical.
i hear differences in wire but won't go overboard. the preamp is an ARC sp3a1 (c), amp is an adcom 555II. adcom's amps are soooo much better than their preamps although i never tried the passive one. tubes in the preamp make for a very nice sound. vinyl is preferred over all digital sources although the hi rez formats come VERY close.
well, that ought to do it for a while.
