Figured it was time I threw my hat in the ring.
I might count as one of the younger audiophiles here, both in terms of time spent learning about sound and sound reproduction, and in age (I clock in at 29 years young, at the moment).
I've played instruments my whole life, primarily upright and electric basses. While in high school I worked with our school's radio station - with that went a small amount of celebrity as the school district owns and uses a 10,000 watt transmitting tower and can be heard across north Texas. My college career briefly included a stint with the campus radio station as well, though it eventually lost out to my studies.
Somehow I ended up leaning towards older things. I found my way here through JELabs, which I think I'd found while researching an Altec 601 I'd found in an elderly friend's house.
As it stands, I'm running a Lenco L70 (branded as a Bogen B61) with an Audio Technica ATP-12T arm and a Shure SC35C| Musical Fidelity V-LPS w/ V-PSU | and rebuilt Altec 128B tube monoblocks. I currently have Infinity Primus 360's set up for listening and am eagerly working towards building cabinets for a pair of RCA LC-1A's I managed to find.
Hoping to learn a lot from y'all, especially about cabinet design and construction, and maybe about building tube phono stages!
