Hello All!
First time poster here, just joined Audioshark yesterday. I've read many times posts from Audioshark and I am impressed about the diversity of audio subjects dealt with here in various forae. And also, a very friendly atmosphere here!
I used to be into audio when I was a student (admittedly a long time ago), and as life goes, I got more important things to do, so audio got pushed way back. A few years ago, my interest in audio was rekindled, mostly because my interest in Jazz. I realised that things changed dramatically and this I needed to catch up with so many things, mostly the digital side of audio. But it was fun reading into modern digital audio!
I basically started as a headphone person as I had always been attracted by good headphone sound. So I built my system around the legendary GS-X Mk2 headphone amp, added an Italian R2R DAC from Aqua HiFi, and an Aurender N100H as a transport/streamer along with Sennheiser's HD800 headphones.
I very much liked my audio chain, but after a while, listening to headphones exclusively became a bit tiring, so I geared up for two-channel sound. I did a lot of auditioning with respect to speakers and got really transfixed after I heard speakers from ATC. I then bought the ATC SCM 11 bookshelf speakers and, naturally, needed a power amp. I decided for a Odyssey Audio Khartago with the Kismet upgrades that is fed by the pre-amp section of the GS-X Mk2. Lovely sound altogether!
As things go, I intend to make some changes to my setup, particularly concerning the DAC/pre-amp section. You'll hear more from me in the respective forae.
Great to be here!
