New to "high end" audio
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... Gabe K |

Hey Gabe, welcome to AA, and soon to the PNW. I’m in Bellingham 3-4 times a week and have lived in the Bellingham area for almost 40 years now, so feel free to reach out if I can be of any help. If nothing else I can at least buy you lunch and get you introduced to the local dealer when you get to town.

A friend of mine travels to Seattle where there is a great shop selling high end used gear... An old college classmate also lives there so I am already acquainted already with the area but I'll be sure to contact you soon! |
