Welcome, Brad. You've come to the right place to share your passion for music and audio gear- and as Larry said, the Friday night happy hours are a great place to meet and mingle!

Enjoy,

David

Hi Brad,

What a great system! Yes, do try to participate in some of our events. Most events are low-key and fun. Our members are friendly and knowledgeable.

Also, you can dip your toes in the water by attending our Friday Happy Hour calls.

Best, Larry

Hello all,

I have been lurking but want to start trying to get out to more events. I am a multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, producer, and audio engineer so I'm sort of obsessed with every aspect of musical creation and reproduction. My first exposure to higher-end playback in a home was around 1994 with a friend's father's system that consisted of the Cal Labs Delta/Alpha CD transport/DAC separates, Classé Audio preamp and monoblocks, and some big Martin Logans. He was a big ECM fan and that system played those recordings very well. He ended up selling me a lot of the gear he no longer wanted and it was a great place to start.

My most recent changes/tweaks have been on the digital side. A little over a year ago I switched from a laptop-based Audirvana setup to the Roon Nucleus, powered by a Keces P8 LPS, and added a Mutec MC3+USB re-clocker before the DAC. I am considering adding the Mutec REF10 SE120 10Mhz clock generator and I need to add some more treatment to the room as well.
