Default 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...

Welcome Gabe, I've traveled through your fair 'cities' many times by train on the Empire Builder.

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.

Who is the local dealer there?

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!
