Good morning,
I've always had a fondness for solid audio equipment and prized myself on being a step above what most people had, but when my AT LP-60 died I decided to start to really look into what I can do to build a nice sound system that isn't centered around my home theater system. It also helps that I just bought my first house and finally have space to set things up properly and can install binding plates into the wall and new circuits.
I've got a Fluance RT82 into a Schiit Mani, I've also got a Modi3+ and switched with a SYS running into a Samson Servo 200 rack mount power amp. I'm currently using a pair of Bose 201's that I swapped the woofers on, and I'm looking for a nice matching set of tweeters, and I'm shopping speakers, and my hope is to get something vintage and a little weird or obscure, but I'm gonna enjoy auditioning all kinds of equipment. I have a real soft spot for JBL, my home theater setup is the Studio One line hooked up to a Denon integrated receiver. I also started my first headFi setup with my grandfather's Panasonic RE-8420 and a Schiit Asgard 2. I've got a pair of Steel Series Arctis One that I use on there, but I'd like to try some electrostatics.
I enjoy doing modifications and building my own cables. I just made a bunch of short shielded RCAs and a nice long shielded stereo mini with some white Sommer Cable wires, and black and gold RCA plugs, and nickel and gold for the stereo mini.
I've been refrencing these forums while I scour craigslist, ebay. letgo, facebook marketplace, etc. and find models I've never heard of so I figured I should join in.
