    Greetings From Coastal North Carolina

    Looking forward to spending some time with you folks. I guess I'm more of a gear head than a music lover......heck I would put on a cat fight if it was well recorded and made my gear sound good

    Speaking of gear I have a Transcendent Sound (The Masterpiece) preamp, ATI 1502 amp, a Denon DP-1250 turn table with Hana cartridge, three Teac R2Rs, and a pair of shop built LS bass bins with Altec horns. drivers and Beyma tweeter, and a NAD CDP. This is my second system.

    The main system at my other place is a Primaluna Dialog Premium HP, Rega 3 table with Hana cartridge, SVS subwoofer, Jolida JD100 CDP, Sugar Cube from Sweet Vinyl, Vision Q phono preamp from Van Alstine and hopefully my Spatial Audio M4 Sapphires with Sapele baffles will arrive by my birthday!

    That's all for now....Cheers!
