  1. Thanks guys! Oh, I'm in San Rafael, California about 20 minutes north of the Golden Gate.
  2. Hi all, Should have done this first... Way back in the 80's I was going to be a recording engineer, went to school for that. Ended up in post production for movies, now work at Dolby Laboratories (but not the cool part). I've already gotten some fantastic support on my newly-acquired gear, a 4000T and a pair of M1.0t amps. The extent of my audio stuff, for years has been an aging 5.1 home theater system. I have a couple decent headphones, a pair of Austrian AKG K701s and a pair of Sennheiser HD540 Reference II I've had forever. I decided a good headphone amp was needed - and so it began. A Schiit Valhalla II headphone amp, then a Modius DAC, then a Music Hall 25.3 tube DAC (craigslist, couldn't resist). Then I decided I didn't have a cd player anymore and found a really nice Marantz CD67-SE on NextDoor. Seller also had a pair of Roksan Caspian power amps and a Rotel preamp. A deal was made. Then decided my life was incomplete without some SACDs so I found a mint Denon DVD-5910 on eBay. Local guy was selling his Denon AVR-3808Ci and a pair of M1.0t's. (I wanted an AVR with Preamp outs so I could have both a home theater system and stereo system using the same front speakers. Another deal was made. Then a pair of Acoustic Research AR308HOs showed up for $75. Couldn't say no to that! (these are fantastic, by the way, though I did manage to scatter one of the midranges - replacement on its way from PartsExpress.) Most recently a pair of NHT SuperTwos popped up. Then the 4000T. Can't Stop Buying Gear Currently all this stuff is set up in my basement, waiting to figure out how the main system will pan out. Thanks to everyone on this board, y'all are a friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful bunch!
