    Hello From Almost Heaven!!

    Hello AS Members,

    My name is Tim and I am from the only state that was created during the Civil War. I have been in this hobby since the summer of 1976 when I worked and saved all summer to buy my first audio system... Harman/Kardon Receiver, BIC Turntable, and a pair of Large Advents.

    Current Audio System:
    McIntosh MA6200 SS Integrated Amplifier
    Jolida JD-202BRC Tube Integrated Amplifier
    Marantz NA7004 Network Audio Player
    Dual 721 Direct Drive Turntable ~ Shure M91 Hi Track MM
    Dual 1219 Idler Drive Turntable ~ Shure M97xe MM
    Acoustic Research XB Belt Drive ~ Denon DL-110 MC ~ Audio Technica AT-MONO3
    Acoustic Research EB-101 Belt Drive ~ Denon DL-301
    ClearAudio Nano V2 MM/MC ~ Van Alstine Vision MM/MC ~ Emotiva USP-1
    Panamax 4300-PM Line Conditioner

    I am thinking changing my system up a notch but, I'll save that for another Thread. I look forward to meeting you and get to know one another.

    See You Around The Forums!!!

    Thank you guys for the warm welcome.
    Understeer is when you hit the wall with your front end. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with your rear end. Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall. Torque is how far you move the wall.
