I'd gauge my system to be, at best, extremely modest compared to most of what I'm seeing here. Currently running a B&K Pro10 Sonata preamp feeding into a pair of vintage Fisher 50a tube monoblocks. As far as speakers go I've been mostly rotating between Allison Two, Kef 104/2, IMF TLS80 and a pair of 50's vintage Klipschorns.

Probably the weakest links in the system are the CD player and turntable, a Kenwood and Denon respectively. I do want to upgrade my CD player to a good quality unit capable of playing CD/SACD. I also want to enter the world of quality digital input (streaming, PC server, or ??? ...I need to figure out what's out there...) One further note. I long ago abandoned tape and FM as sources.

So from this point on, you'll see me nosing around the various threads ! Looking forward to discussions with you.

Rick

Hi neighbor.

Hi Rick,

Welcome to AA! I'm not too far from you, I'm in Linthicum, right close to BWI Airport. Sounds like you have a nice system! As for upgrading your CD player. There's lots to choose from out there, I use a McIntosh MCD1100, great machine! Of course, it all depends on your budget. My cousin just picked up the Oppo 105 player and is getting great results. My system is a combination 2 channel, home theater set up. I use a McIntosh MC352 amp to drive my Von Schweikert VR-5 Anniversary MKII speakers, as a preamp, I'm using a Integra Reciever for my home theater part. I do most of my listening in two channel. I can listen to just about anything except rap/hip hop. Enjoy.

Henry
