G'day folks!
I'm new to the Audio Shark website but not to my love of music and its faithful reproduction - from my first system that included a Heathkit AR-15 receiver that I built in high school with Rectilinear III speakers (thanks Julian Hirsch of Stereo Review) and a Miracord 50H TT and that Shure V-15 type III to my current set-up with Wilson Sashas, ARC REF 250's, ARC REF 5SE, Vendetta phono stage, VPI TNT VI with rim drive and Koetsu Urushi/Lyra Kleos with mostly Transparent Reference cabling. As many of you, I became enamored of this hobby reading the early Absolute Sounds and Stereophile magazines. What a Golden Age of audio jounalism that was. Harry Pearson had much to do with my early education regarding what we should strive for in audio. Michael Fremer's piece on the Analogplanet.com is a worthy read regarding HP's life.
A number of years ago, Dennis Davis and I started the Bay Area Audio Society (now called the San Francisco Audiophile Society and in the very capable hands of Alon Sagee). Frankly I was out of audio for the last decade or two (life changes, work, kids) but have been upgrading in the last couple of years and rediscovering how beautiful the musical experience can be (even at home). My goals are to improve on what I already have - power conditioning, new phono stage maybe.
Anyway, thanks for listening and really looking forward to learning more from the wealth of information in the "pool."
Best regards,
Wilson
