Hi all - 31-year old newbie from the Kansas City area (live on the Kansas side and work on the Missouri side) here. My previous analog audio experience is with my parents' all-in-one LP/Cassette/Radio system (couldn't even tell you the make or model). However I tend to be a "completist" when it comes to artists/bands I like and was getting tired of never being able to hear/own vinyl-only b-sides and bonus tracks, plus I kept reading about the superior sound quality, so I recently purchased a new Music Hall MMF2.2 table, vintage Yamaha CR-440 receiver (with phono stage), and new Grado SR225i headphones from my local HiFi shop (Vinyl Renaissance); no speakers as space (current setup is in the basement) and volume (I have a 20-month old son and a 3-week old daughter) are currently limited.
My music tastes are based on what my parents listened to and I discovered in high school: old/classic country (e.g. Marty Robbins, Johnny Horton) - and what I've developed through the years: indie rock (Andrew Bird, The National, Arcade Fire, Magnolia Electric Co.), singer-songwriter (Ryan Adams, Josh Ritter, Damien Jurado), alt. country (Neko Case, Whiskeytown, Lucero) and older stuff like Springsteen, Neil Young, and Van Morrison.
