Hello from Canada

[shawnwes]

Hello All!

I've been following some of your threads so thought I'd join in and try to contribute a little bit to the hobby we all love.
I'm Shawn and I live in the beautiful, desert like, Okanagan Valley, BC which is also home to Canada's wine country.

Music lover since I could walk I got involved with audio as soon as I got my first paycheque and haven't looked back.

After many years in hibernation I got bit by the audio bug again a few years ago and the system has pretty much been renewed over the last 18 months.

It's current manesfestation is:

Vinyl: Rega Planar25 w/ Tangospinner inner platter, 24V motor & TTPSU, RB250/Tecnoweight/Pete Riggles VTAF, DV 20X2H
Valab LCR1-MkIII

Purchased and enroute but haven't yet received is an Audiomods Series 6 tonearm w/micrometer vta.

Digital: Cambridge Audio DacMagic & laptop (mostly cds burned to flac file via JRiver 24.0)

Amp: Exposure 2010s2

Cabling: Audio Sensibility - Statement ICs & Testament speaker cable

Speakers: rotating as req'd - Totem Dreamcatchers, Spica TC60s, PSB GT1s.


Music, mostly vinyl centric, leans heavily towards jazz, rock and orchestral.

Cheers, :cool:

Shawn

Hello Shawn. Welcome to AOS.

Interesting to see you have Spicas. You don't hear much about them these days, but they do have devotees.

There's a lot going on here, so just join in any chat that interests you.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Thanks everyone.

Start of the Victoria Day long weekend here so get 3 days of R&R so there'll be lots of tunes & drinks as the wife & I are just a couple of DINKSAH (Dbl Income No Kids At Home) :lol:

Trying to be patient while awaiting the arrival of the new Audiomods 6 arm to install. There's going to be a TT shootout between the Rega 25 and an Ariston RD 11 Superieur I have in reserve. The winner will stay on & the loser will have to find a new home 'cause I'm a ruthless bugger!
