My introduction to better audio was with Arcam, and I still use their older amplifiers: both an Alpha 9 integrated and power, which I bi-amp with my B&W's. I also have an Alpha 9 CD player and Arcam's multidisc CD player.
Hence, "Arcamguy," although I've also branched out to Marantz, which I loved as a kid and have several pieces.
Probably more information than you needed, but there 'ya go.
Happy Holidays,
Jeff
