Hi,
I chose my username, "unchilled", recalling my children frequently told me to "chill, Dad" when they were teenagers. My first audio system, in the early 80's, was an Onkyo receiver with a budget Technics phonograph and Rogersound Lab speakers (a local southern California brand.) First CD player that I could listen (i.e. not drilling my eardrums) to was a Magnavox/Philips.
I enjoy mainly classical music and jazz -- my exposure to popular music when growing up was self-limited -- silly snobbery in retrospect. Played the violin as a teenager, but stopped playing in my 20's -- and did not receive any recognition for my service to mankind by doing so.
Current system: Galibier Serac (design by Thom Mackris -- great guy), Siggwan 12" unipivot, ZYX Airy 3 (not the new carbon cantilevered) or rebuilt Lyra Argo (decapitated the cantilever with a flying LP); phono stages/preamps -- Klyne 7PX2, Gill Alana with K&K phono board; power amp -- Herron solid state; speakers -- Green Mountain Eos HX; cabling -- predominantly Cerious Technologies by Robert Grost (autocorrect prefers the deceased poet Robert Frost). CD player -- I'm a nonviolent Luddite -- is an Arcam FMJ CD36.
I'm an anesthesiologist (anaesthetist), working at UCLA since 1984. Chief joy in life -- family. Also enjoy the occasional concert, we are blessed with a fine symphony orchestra led by maestro Dudamel.
Cheers,
Harvey
