Well I'm late enough getting to the party that I may go unnoticed but I guess that could be seen as counterinhibitive.
I'm Tom Carroll. Aged, at 55, I live in Fruita, Colorado where the majesty of the Rocky Mountains yields to the barrenness and color of the Utah desert.
My roots are deep in this diversion and have grown sporadically and intermittently. I've talked with many of you in years past by telephone. I was a trader of hi-fi gear from the late 70s and spent a number of years selling audio in retail stores as well. For a couple of years in the 90s I was part of a fledgling and well-reviewed speaker manufacturing effort that failed.
Today, I am married with two young sons (10 & 12) and a small house where many different electronics occupy space.
Therefore, my Goldmund Dialogues are flanking a Sony 53 inch RPTV a bit forward of the screen. I'm using a Jeff Rowland Concentra integrated amp and a Well-Tempered Reference table and arm with an AQ 7000 cartridge. There is a great little 16 watt community radio station here so I bought an Accuphase T-101 tuner and I am amazed at the quality of sound I get off the air. Someone else in this thread alluded to this earlier. It is unbelievable.
I sold all my silver and copper boutique cables and bought inexpensive Wicked Cables and got away with it.
Digital is not much of a priority as I have over 3000 LPs and only 50 - 60 CDs. I use a Sony DVP 7000 as DVD and transport for my Timbre Technology DAC. These are connected by my last remaining reviewers' cable, an Illuminati D-60.
For speakers I use a 15 foot pair of Monster M 1.4.
Musically I tend toward small scale acoustic anything and
nostalgic rock. Colorado produced some very nice things none of you know about back in the 70s before we started succumbing to notoriety and I listen to these also. Anybody out there have anything recorded on the Biscuit City label?
Tom
