hello from Chicago!
Hi, all, just a quick post to say hello and to express thanks for the great resources here on the forums. I'll be especially interested to learn more about digital audio/streaming.
I'm also an analog guy and am currently messing around with a restored Technics SP-10 and a restored/upgraded Garrard 401.
Four months ago, I picked up a lightly used pair of Magnepan 3.7i and am powering them with a pair of Sanders Sound monoblocks. My pre is an ARC Ref 40, but I'm also messing around with an all-digital approach.
For music--the most important thing--I'm a big jazzhead but also dig female-fronted indie, electronic, new music, and, really, anything that captures my interest on a given day.
All the best from Chicago!
