    Default Greetings from the Left Coast of Canada

    Hello fellow audio buffs,

    My name is Kenji, and I am an out of work orchestral violist (my orchestra was shut down until May 2021, at the very earliest. Yikes). Listening to a lot of music on my Mission 775 turntable, which I recently resuscitated with a Grace G707 tonearm.

    My system consists of several turntables (Thorens TD160 with Benz Micro Wood SL, modded Rega Planar 3/RB300 with Ortofon OM20, Dual 1009 with Excel ES70EX4 Shibata, and said Mission 775 with Grace 707 and Victor MC100EB II LOMC), Benz Micro Lukaschek PP-1 T9 MC phonostage for LOMC, and the phonostages of a NAD 3140 for MM, Audio Experience Symphonies Tube Preamp, Conn 7868 PP tube amp, Nikko Alpha II, custom planar/ribbon speakers with Tannoy 8" woofers.

    The digital system consists of a Denon DCD 470 CD player, and a Mac Mini for streaming, into a PS Audio Digital Link III DAC.

    I listen mostly to 20th century orchestral music - Stravinsky, Bartok, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Varese, etc - with a good measure of Kinks and other rock and blues and jazz thrown in.

    Nice to be here, hope to meet and talk to many of you soon.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
