Hello, everyone. I wandered in from mid-fi, but I hope to find my way to hi-fi.

My original emphasis was home theater (92" front projection, 1080p), but when music started sounding good the quest for better began in earnest. A pair of Fathom 113s started the serious upgrade-itis. The most recent upgrade is a pair of Wilson Audio Sophia 2 speakers. Now I am wrestling with deciding what preamp and amp to mate with them. To be honest, it's a problem I rather enjoy having.

Randy

Hi guys! Name's Nat. I have high end taste, but a mass market budget I'm afraid.

I do the best I can, I'm slowly working my way up. My system right now sounds great. But I still dream of the uber cool gear.

I'll keep striving, working my way up. an upgrade here, an upgrade there...

But until then at least I can enjoy great music on a system that sounds great.

thanks a lot for welcoming me here, it's a really nice place!

Welcome to AA nelamvr6

John, welcome to AA. I also used to enjoy an Audible Illusions Modulus 3A preamp and had a pair of Quicksilver amps back in the day.

Hey guys

Another newbie.. Looking to buy gear for my new place soon (hopefully Sashas) so would love some advice.. Anyone else from Australia? Other interests include photography and horology (go lange!)
