    Hello!

    Hi everyone!

    It's nice to be a part of this community. This is my first time diving into the world of audio, and I'm really excited about it.

    I recently purchased a Lumin T3 from Mike at Suncoast Audio and it's will be arriving tomorrow. Mike and his team were great to work with!
    I plan to use this with a headphone amplifier for now. My end goal is to get a Luxman integrated amp and the A5. I might come to you with some opinions on this.

    The only catch is that my wife doesn't know about my new expensive hobby :-)

    Welcome aboard. Luxman Ints are awesome and already have a decent Headphone and Phono section.

    Get your wife involved, it made it easier for me.

    Welcome to AS rajk!

    Wrong move there on not involving the wife IMO.
    It's a lot more fun if you can share your audio hobby with your partner.

    Re: Hello!

    Rajk - this where a separate bank account is helpful. Spend your money, not hers, if you don't want to tell her what things cost. But honesty is crucial. Also the main thing about quality audio is not the boxes (which are a nuisance anyway) but the quality of sound they produce so you can enjoy your music to the maximum. She must have her own musical preferences which she can enjoy more through a good system. Share these with her!
    Anyway: welcome!
