I'm a new member here, a jazz musician and an audiophile. I live in Brooklyn but grew up in Paris, France.
I have a Garrard 401 turntable with a Magnepan Unitrac arm (Shure V15-III cartridge and JICO stylus), a Fisher X-100-3 amplifier and Rogers JR 149 speakers. In the digital world, I have a mac mini server with a Wavelength Brick V3 DAC and an Arcam FMJ23 CD player. I was recently profiled in the Stereophile series Musicians as Audiophiles.
I listen to quite a bit of vinyl, jazz, classical, pop and else. I'm pretty eclectic.
Three years ago, the support of the audiophile community helped make a vinyl pressing of my album "The Turn" a reality. "The Turn" made a few "best of" lists for 2014 (LA Times, Boston Globe, DownBeat) and was also favorably reviewed in Stereophile and Analog Planet.
I recently recorded a new album, "No Filter", a project I co-lead with my old friend - and fantastic guitarist - Greg Tuohey. Like "The Turn", this record was recorded live to two track 1/2 inch tape at 30 ips by James Farber at Sear Sound. It will be mastered and cut to vinyl directly from the tape by Bernie Grundman but 96/24 downloads will also be available, as well as CDs. In case anyone is interested, the Kickstarter for that is here.
I am also happy to answer any and all questions and glad to be here.
