Is this the right forum for me?


Hello!

I just recently joined, searching for discussion on music and equipment.  Bought my first set of "high end" gear in 1972, a Marantz 2270 receiver.  Only recently sold it as I wasn't using it and it was just sitting on a shelf.

Had gone to Luxman equipment in the early 90's, and basically stuck with it until 2019, when I decided to get a new system.

I listened to a lot of gear at a local fine audio shop and decided on a modest set of equipment that fit my needs.  A fairly simple system, just a Naim Uniti Star which is an all-in-one CD player, streamer and integrated amp.  For speakers a set of Goldenear Reference.  I later added a Goldenear "Super Sub" to bring out the lows a bit better.  I added high end connection and power cables and a power conditioner.

The sound from this system is many steps up from what I had, but I realize it is not what some of you have after reading some of the posts.

My question is, am I worthy of being called an "Audiofile"?  I just turned 70 and I listen to music all the time, way more than TV or other media.  My hearing is not the best and I wear hearing aids, so my level of music enjoyment is somewhat compromised.

I do enjoy the discussions and reviews of high end equipment, just not sure I "fit in".  Thanks for your comments in advance!

The Naim gear is far above ordinary mass produced products the uniti is a remarkable all in one it has amazingly engaging sound and is a joy to use
