Hello from Sunny Manila!

[fildude]

Hi everyone! I'm not really very new into audio. Over the past 30+ years, I've been in and out of this very challenging and very expensive hobby. The choices and availability of amps and the likes in Manila is not as varied as what may be found in North America or in Europe. I do have a mix of some very nice (at least to me and to my ears) audio equipment but I guess just like most of us, I'm always looking at improving the sound quality of my audio systems.

Presently, my main system is composed of McIntosh MC2105 power amp, McIntosh C26 preamp, Cayin 15A CDP and Sonus Faber Concertino (Pre-home) Speakers. My bedroom system is composed of Luxman L58A Integrated Amp driving a pair of Rogers LS3/5A 11 Ohms speakers with Rega Apollo CDP. I have others stashed away somewhere to avoid difficult to answer questions from the Commander-In-Chief (I guess you know who I'm referring to) but ready to be brought out at the right time.

Looking forward to learning more about audio from all of you!!!

Thanks to all for the warm welcome!
John, I will take photos and post these. Just need to find out how, but will manage, hopefully.
Chris, my music preference is mellow jazz, mostly trios and quartets (Yamamoto / Fourplay / Eddie Higgins / Oscar Peterson / Thomas Hardin, etc.) and female voices as in the likes of Diana Krall, Stacey Kent, Jane Monheit, etc., etc. Thus, the reason why I prefer equipments that can provide clean,detailed sound with good sound stage.
