Hi all, I’m Ray from Brisbane, Australia.
You’ve got a great place here. The exchanges are warm, supportive and involve some story-telling. My system should fit right in: DIY SE 2A3 amplifiers, GPA 604s in MLTL cabs, R2R DAC etc. I even use cables and stands and stuff.
Musical tastes? Well, I wasn’t allowed to listen to much music when I was a kid because of my parents' religious beliefs. Still, I had friends at school who were into music and I used my lunch money to purchase cheap vinyl (being replaced by CDs) which I hid under the bed. I looked forward to my parents going out so I could play music on a badly set up three-in-one. I treasured those moments and sometimes wonder if I’m not trying to recreate the sound of those big old Philips wide-range drivers. I’m currently listening to a lot of ambient (not New Age) and minimal modern composition, though I’m pretty broad in what I listen to. I’d like to learn more about classical, at least to better understand what I might enjoy.
I’m embarking on my second (kind of) SE 2A3 build – not as elegant as some of the builds I’ve seen here(!) – and would be happy to share if there is interest.
Kind regards,
Ray
P.S. My moniker “shoshin” is to remind me to keep an open, curious mind; it’s not a proclamation that I actually have one.
