Hi All

[Meloski]

My name is Michael, I am a winemaker in the Napa Valley of California. I am new to higher quality audio and have been assembling my system for about six months. A simple system consisting of, Jolita BR202 tube amp, Technics SL1200MKII w/ a AT440MLa cartridge, a Lehmann Black Cube Phono stage, feeding into a pair of Paradigm Titan V2 bookshelf speakers, which will be replaced on Wednesday, when I pick up my new pair of Martian Logan Motion 40 floor standing speakers. All genres of music is played in our home but lately the girls (11 & 15) have been into classic rock, I have been buying them records that they have requested after previewing on Spotify. Their collection contains The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith and Pink Floyd so far. They have a long list but the nearest record store is a hour away. Music is played in the house everyday!

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Michael and welcome to the AoS. Beautiful place you are living in.

Hello Michael. Welcome to AOS.

Sounds like your girls will be keeping you busy. Try getting your rock tracks on 12" singles, they can offer superb sound quality.

Do you have plans for your system apart from the speaker upgrade? We like to hear what people have in mind.

There is a Gallery section if you'd like to post some equipment photos. They are always appreciated.

Tell us what music you listen to yourself.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.
