Hello Everyone!
I'm in Baltimore and in love with this hobby as well as all of you. Our individual passions for this glorious hobby transcends words, and I'll bet it's unanimous the great pleasure that listening to music at home brings to you,too. So let's get it on!
From my experience (and I've been addicted to High End Audio since 1988), rarely have I met "knowledgeable" veterans of the business (i.e. "dealers") who were willing to answer my endless sundry of amateur questions. Perhaps, it's because many audiophiles are assumed to be musicians or have a technical background as engineers and, therefore, expected to know the basics before delving into a quest for the absolute sound. . . .But that's the past. At this point I'm simply elated and excited in having discovered these websites/discussion forums. Glad to be the new kid on the block!
The journals (TAS & Stereophile)have served me well over the years, and I consider myself to be (figuratively) up to speed with the mavens of high end audio. What I need from you guys is the solid rules, suggestions and can't miss-type advice. I agree that this hobby is largely a mater of personal taste, as far as achieving a sound that's "just right". Still, I'm certain that the path to every system-oasis benefits from inarguable "tweaks or better stii, synergies learned from trial and error. Sharing information of this sort assists the serious-minded as the knowledge helps to avoid repeated (expensive!) upgrading.
So, my friends, heartily I welcome all comments. Particularily those germane to the biamplification of IRS Betas (this is my cup of tea). Email me at: Lhegie@home.com
