HI all,
Have registered a while ago and have been lurking mostly. I have been into music reproduction since age 13,....eeh some time ago. Have been semi-serious of and on since then and got into proper systems once I could afford to. My interest in older Hifi got a boost when I found a pair of HPM-900 in my local goodwill. Since then I've added 2 record players and the Marantz 226B.
I am not too capable with eletronics but starting to learn. There is still quite a bit of cleaning up to do.
Audiokarma seems a very friendly place. I've long been around Audiocircle and the atmosphere is much the same with a focus on a slightly different corner of the audio world. Great!
Looking forward to poking my head in from time to time, sharing what little knowledge I have and hoping to learn more about the systems I have.
Have a good weekend all!
