New to "high end" audio

[gabor]

Recently bought a McIntosh product (MA252) after years of owning "modest" audio equipment.
Enjoyed a decent "low end" Anthem/Paradigm system from 1998 until 2 months ago.

My love for music began as a child when my father played his Sinatra,"Satchmo" and Earl grant records on a Dual/Normende console system from 1964.With solid teak veneer it was a modern classic with a pretty decent sound.

I'm also into performing music with guitar/vocals/harmonica and have had a few gigs around town in a duo.

Enjoy listening to classical folk rock,jazz,classical and blues.

Having some difficulty figuring out the digital and his res down load musical stuff.So I listen to Pandora and my own CD collection pretty much.

We have lived in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St Paul for the past 27 years but are moving to Bellingham Washington very soon to enjoy a milder climate during our retirement years...
