the matching mole

May 23, 2019, 07:31:56 AM
Greetings, fellow enthusiasts. How nice of you to let me join. What brought me here was research about PI Audio's power conditioners.

I've been actively building a serious system since 2000 or so, but have been obsessed with high-fidelity sound since I was ten years old. I do primarily two-channel, digital, and analog. I dabble in home theater and head-fi.

I have eight record-playing devices in varying states of repair. I enjoy mechanical idler-wheel drive turntables. My primary tables are a cream grease-bearing Garrard 301 with two tonearms and a Thorens TD124 just refurbished by Gregory Metz. I also use a Technics SL-1200MK2 for fun.

Current amplifiers are a 1977 McIntosh MC2505 and a pair of MC30s. Preamplifiers are a McIntosh C28 and a Schiit SYS for fun. Speakers are Spatial M4 Triode Masters.

I have had a voracious musical appetite since I bought my first LP in 1976. I listen to at least three new albums per week. I have been obsessed with playback fidelity for as long as I can remember. For six years in the 1980s and 1990s I was active in college radio, managing the stations, promoting local acts, interviewing musicians, and so on.

I have never been without a record player in my life. I have just finished a year-long-project to get several vintage components refurbished. My favorite sound systems are those that let me hear the human aspect of the recording, even if the instruments are electronic.

Welcome to AN MM.
Good place to stake a claim.
Good people and I also stalked Dave (until he got the restraining order).
PI's got some exceptional stuff and Dave is always thinking.
Enjoy yourself and enlighten us and post what your listening to right now.
