Hi from Savannah, GA
Hi all,
Glad I found you guys and hoping to contribute here. I'm 70, recently retired and I listen mostly to jazz but R&B, blues & oldies works for me too. Got a fetish for lady jazz singers that swing, so lay em' on me if you got 'em. I'm also a long-time speaker designer/builder, of ESL's mostly-- but not so much these days. However, I still enjoy championing DIY ESLs and helping others build their dream speakers. My modest 6-channel/stereo system: Source: Logitech Transporter streaming Tidal Preamp: Logitech Transporter (digital) Processor: DBX Driverack Venu 360 Amplifiers: Carver TFM-25's (3) Speakers: DIY hybrid wire-stator ESL's Subs: DIY Ridtahler dipoles (RiPol's) Rack: DIY red oak Cables: 12-2 Blue Jeans (not real picky about cables) Charlie Last edited by Jazzman53; 09-12-2023 at 01:02 PM. |

Welcome to the forum. We need the 'young' blood in our hobby. A fair number of of us are retired and, like you, spend an inordinate amount of time enjoying the music and our gear.
Enjoy!!

Welcome Charlie, I like your system, and being in the Seattle area I have a soft spot for Carver. I've had several Carver products over the years.

If you are referencing "Swing Music" I've grown fond of Loredana Grimaudo of Swingrowers. Outsidein is one of my favorites.

Welcome Charlie. I’m headed to Savannah in a few weeks. I hope it stays warm.
Your Ripol subs sure look interesting. Nice build! |
