Hi friends,
Have been reading your very frendly threads for sometimes. Since I'm french speaking hope my writing
makes sense!
Always have been a music lover! I play guitar, bass, harmonica, accordeon, flute and a little piano.
I like all kind of music fron classical-opera to heavy rock, country-folk and jazz. Everything well done
has my ear.
Love DIYing. First tweeked my tube amps in 70's. Blew many with wrong tubes or bias...
Had many kits Dynaco tube amps, Heathkit, many diy single ended amps EL84's, EL34's, KT66...
Many speakers to. Now I have all Emotiva components: XPA-5 amplifier 5X 200W, UMC-1 processor, speakers T2 and
C2 center, E2 and Oppo BDP83 bluray for cinema only. I use a Music Angel 12AX7 preamp with XPA-5 X2 + MHZS tube cd player for stereo hifi listening. Sometimes I take out an old Cambridge CD4 cd player to keep it going.
https://emotiva.com/ Best buy in America. Very good components! Low prices for the quality. Directly from
manufacturer.
Also still listen to my Dynaco SCA 35 EL84 14W X2, Gainclones diy 40W X2 + 12W X2, Yakin chinese integrated amp EL34
40W X2 modified.
To me nothing beats my jams with old friends with my guitars on my Vox AC30 and Fender Jazz bass +Ampeg amp.
I am retired! So music is my first and ever companion with my cool wife ( WAF is ideal here!) No problemo with
Women Acceptance Factor!
I am a member of l'Association Montrealaise des Audiophiles. An audiophile club in Montreal. We meet to listen to sound
systems & all kinds of music first tuesday of every month and classical music the third tuesday with a dedicated subject.
The club was founded in 1996. We also always have DIY projects on the go. Preamps, Gainclones, Pass Labs amps, Speakers etc...

Have a nice day!
