Hello from Costa Rica
Hola Chicos,
I'm an old wolf sneaking and sniffing here. Thanks for letting me be part of you!
I just wish to you a very happy listening and also I beg for your understanding with my poor English.
When I was a kid, I told my dad that I wanted to learn and play Classical Guitar. I started when I was 12 years old. When I got to College, my dad told me that he needed to talk to me. When he said things like this, always was in a really serious manners. I got to the sofa at the living room, and he started to say this: Roberto, I am seeing you with your guitar, playing at least 5 to 6 hours every day. Tell me something, are you planning to pay your life bills with the guitar? If you are thinking to do this, I have to recommend to you, don't! And do you know why? Because you are not that good! Don't get me wrong here. I have being supporting you with this since you were 12 years old. Every Wednesday before two o'clock, there is an envelope with the money for your guitar teacher at the top of the desk. I love to listen to you, your mom, your brother and your friends, but paying bills of the life, is a different history. I ended studying electronics.
I don't want to get you bored with my stories, so again, thanks!

Re: Hello from Costa Rica
Hola, hola...of course I remember you! Good to find you here!. Yup, I am a planar type speaker fan. Love Magnepans, too. Ribbon are excellent to my ears also...but honestly way of speaking, there are good products on these days. Speakers had changed for good in the last 10 years. Dynamic speaker are offering very low distortion, and great stage. I just, do love good quality sound. My taste is toward the Planar...but this is my liking.

Re: Hello from Costa Rica
Gracias Mike, soy un lobo viejo del audio. Mi primer contacto con hi end audio fue por el año 76 con Harold Beveridge. Tuve los 2SW y el modelo System 3. De ahí pasé a Apogee Duettas, y Magneplanar Timpany 3B. Con los Timpany estaba con Bryston 4B, dos amps, uno para bajos y el otro para medios y agudos. Los tenía conectados en conexión vertical. En el 87 conocí a los CLS de Martin Logan, y tuve todos sus modelos, hasta ahora con los CLXs. En amplificiación desde Levinson, Krell, Classe, Forté, Audio Research y ahora estoy casado con Conrad Johnson...tornamesas desde Goldmund Studio, Linn LP-13 y Delphi de Oracle. Cartridges Koesu, Black and Rose, Sumiko 3s con cantilever de zafiro, y ahora Denon 103R. Me encanta moving coil. Ahora estoy sólo digital. Estoy encantado con el resultado que obtengo con Exasound E-32, Up Tone Audio linear power supply JS-2 junto con el cable Lush V1 y BPT line conditioner Signature 3.5 Plus.
Gracias por tu cálida bienvenida. Si hay algo en que te puedo ayudar, estaría encantado de hacerlo. Soy un abuelo muy feliz con este maravilloso sonido...
Abrazo desde Costa Rica,
