hello from los angeles!
i've been lurking audio forums for many years...been a record collector my whole life but didn't start taking sound seriously until my first mcintosh amps about 10 years ago-- c20, c22, mc30's, 225...all thru k-horns.
heard my first SET amp about 7 years ago and was immediately converted. my first SET purchase was a pair of sophia electric 300b's that i loved.
soon after that i started reading stereophile and became very interested in shindo thanks to art dudley (who i already miss dearly!).
the shindo sound seemed extremely suited to my 'music comes first' approach. this lead me to a visit to pitch perfect and then very quickly selling everything i'd collected thus far to start financing my journey into shindo where i very happily remain.
i figure it's time to step out of the shadows and say hello since i'll be needing quite a bit of assistance with a new build i'm (slowly) working up based around a pair of altec 1505b horns and vott cabinets.
here's my current main system--
(and there's quite a bit of other gear upstairs that makes appearances in the main room here and there!)
speakers:
mod'd altec valencias w/ werner jagusch xo's. (also have devore 0/96's in rotation)
pre:
shindo monbrison.
amp:
shindo cortese 300b.
turntable:
emt 930st w/ hanze power supply. schick 9.6" arm w/ emt jsd6p cart into an auditorium 23 hommage t2 sut for the stereos. schick 12" arm w/ miyajima zero cart into miyajima mono etr sut for the monos.
power:
shindo mr. t.
cabling:
shindo interconnects, auditorium 23 speaker wire.
...and a lot of records!
