Hi Fi Pretensions...
[email protected] Thank you for taking the time to read and most of all understand my post. My title refers only to my 'pretending' to be an 'audiophile'. It seems that many on the 'Gon" put a lot of effort to auditioning and matching components before purchasing. What I have done is buy what I thought were bargains, throw them together in an effort to get the most out of my vinyl. I have no allegiance to a particular brand of equipment, only to MUSIC with a prefrence for vinyl because I can obtain it so cheaply and I enjoy the hunt and the discoveries. I have been thinking lately that if I enjoy my current system, haphazardly thrown together, what if I were to put some thought into putting a system together that optomises my penchant for vinyl? I fully realise that my knowledge and understanding of Hi Fi is at best minimal. I have McIntosh because it's what I've found on the cheap. I have not seen Jeff Rowland components at yard sales although I once saw a Conrad Johnson phono preamp but I did not know at the tme what it was and neither did the woman selling it. I'm new to this and I 'm eager to learn as much as possible. At any rate it's ultimately the music that keeps me together. Thanks [email protected]! |
Silab. Thank you for responding. I do enjoy my system as it is forgiving (by no means perfect) of the diverse genres of music I throw at it. I'm driven to seek change by my readings on the Gon. and believing that a paradigm shift may occur were I to make consious efforts toward synergy. I don't seek the ultimate or megebuck system. As previously stated I'm of modest means and ultimately it's the music that interests me. I believe that I may be able to sell my Mac MC 275 for close to $2,500.00 or more. My thought is putting the cash toward a pre power amp combination that would be a good foundation for a system with future upgrades on turntables and accessories. My listening space is in a Victorian house with 9' ceilings. The area is approximately 18'X 22'. I also have 2 sets of record shelves 8' high on 2 walls. The other shelves are in a closet and down the length of the hallway. Sometimes I like to rock out and others jazz and acoustic music is played. |
