Hello. My name is Marc and I just found the forum this morning while looking up a cartridge. I have been into audio since I was a kid and have gone through numerous pieces of gear in the last 40 years. My musical tastes run from classical to metal, depending on my mood, as long as it has some good guitar work in it. Heavy blues guitar riffs are my preference, such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Kenny Wayne Shepperd. I also love heavy guitar orchestral stuff like the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
I currently have two systems. The main living room system is pretty simple. A McIntosh MA-6100 integrated and MR-74 tuner, a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 9i speakers and a little Oppo DV980H. I live in an area with a terrific FM station (KINK FM 101.9), so the tuner plays about 12 hours per day. Upstairs is a pair of Radio Craftsmen 500 amps with a Sony TC-758 reel deck and a Harman Kardon T60 table with an AT440ML/OCC cart . Currently it is running through a Heathkit AA-141 preamp, but am in the process of trying to design/build a decent tube pre. It runs through a set of Altec model 15 speakers, which seem to work well in the small listening space.
I bend pipe and tubing for a living, ride a 2013 HD Road Glide during the nice weather, and aside from that, I lead a pretty simple life.
