Hello from Florida

[Hoffer]

Came across this site by pure happenstance. Guess I got lucky.

Currently residing in Jacksonville. FL. I'm considered a Yankee by the locals given my Connecticut/Boston roots, but I'm cool with it. Not much to do here though besides golfing and 4-wheeling (surprisingly I find myself enjoying the latter over the former these days). At least it gives me time to concentrate on growing my vinyl collection while dabbling in hirez audio.

Looking forward to chatting with many of you..

Hi David, welcome to AoS from me.
So what does your system consist of & what sort of music do you like to play on it?

Hi there!:)

Hi David, welcome to AoS from me.
So what does your system consist of & what sort of music do you like to play on it?

My system:

VPI Aries II turntable
Shelter 501mkII cartridge
JMW 10.5i tonearm
Cary 306 SACD cd player
Mac Mini
Stello U3 usb converter
Ayre P5xe phono preamp
Cary SLP-05 preamp
Accuphase A50 amp
Focus Audio FP 80 SEs speakers
VPI 16.5 RCM
Cabling from Acoustic Zen and Wireworld


My music always includes a heavy dose of rock (all kinds - hard, folk, alt, metal, punk, etc), a good amount of jazz (70s and older) and a little old school country (Cash, Willie Nelson, etc). 2/3ds of my collection is on cd (downloaded in AIFF to the mac) including a handful of SACDs. The rest is vinyl.

Thanks for asking,

Dave

Hi David, welcome to AoS from me too - I'm struggling to identify your avatar 100% - pretty sure it is a Galaxie - I'm going for a '66...?

Anyway, hope you enjoy the forum - have fun. :)

Hello Dave. Is that a Galaxie in your avatar?

[The Grand Wazoo]

Never mind the bleedin' car, it's the power amp (http://www.audioinnovationen.de/html/accuphase_a-50.html) that I'm drooling over!
I demand that you hand it over right away, it'll look far more at home next to my DP67 than your Cary.

Good catch guys. '67 to be exact.

Not a chance Chris. You'll have to pry all 108 lbs of it out of my cold, dead hands..

That's the one -the little tinker that it is!
