Hey - Nice to be here. I'm a 60 year old long time "recorded music-phile" which means a long time audiophile. Mostly listen to bebop and modern jazz (1950 and forward) and classic rock and roll. This site is amazing -- a tribute to all of you. I hope I can contribute in return for all there is to gain.

Below, is my current system. Looking to perhaps upgrade DAC/Preamp and associated components.

• Peachtree iDecco (as DAC/Preamp only)
• Paradigm Reference Active/40 Speakers
• Harmonic Technology Truth Link Interconnect
• Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer
• Velodyne SMS-1 Bass Management
• Lenovo T410 Laptop Server (Win7 Pro, Samsung SSD, 8gb RAM, JRiver 21) Halide USB/SPDIF Bridge

Hi Matt,

Welcome to the forum!

 

[Torec]

Thank you.

Good taste in music. Don't read the shindo forum. You will spend lots of money and end up with the best bop/hard bop system in town.

Thank you all for your welcome.

How could I get more info about the Shindo Forum? -- So I can be sure not to read.

Do not press here if you wish to avoid the Shindo forum

Thanks -- it helps to know where not to place the arrow and left click. That is a relief. Thanks again.

Thanks Paul. Good thing I didn't click -- I might develop a serious case of unattainable want. Yikes!

Hi Matt, welcome. Let's not exchange thoughts about audiophilia, good vinyls or Jazz. Ever.
