hi,im tom, and im an audio addict. i cant help myself. i have 7k LPs, about 1kCDs, 100+ open reels, and who knows how many cassettes for the car.
ill be 57 in oct, from buffalo,ny, and have lived thru 2 of the most horrendous earthquakes (71+94) and still wanna live in so cal.
oh the used record scene here is AWESOME! i LOVE paying 50cents to a buk for used LPs.
i use an arc sp3c, adcom555II, fried model h sub/sat system, and my front end is vpi hw19III/smeIV/various carts/cd with a dac in the box, etc.
nothing wrong with adcom amps! the 555II, 5400, the 5500, and the 5800 are all verrrrrrry good. the 565 pre doesnt stnad in the same league with the arc! big surprise, eh?

mistakenly logged in here not as hifitommy as i am on AA and AR. will get aroung to changing that someday.
used to have a 340 duster, i loved that car. lions drag strip went away too long ago, i really enjoyed going there. guess ill try palmdale one day.
i claim to hear diffs in wire so take a lot of flack from the chihuahuas at AR.
i listen to KLON (88.1) almost exclusively, a jazz/bllues station from long beachste univ (KLON.org-listen on line). yeah, rock but since kmet died on the vine, only klos comes close. then theres kcrw 89.9, and kxlu 88.9 (very little compression etc) and little else.
