Description

This all started when my teenage daughters asked for a stereo system in their bedroom. I climbed up into the attic and brought down some old equipment, which they marveled at and loved. Then my twin ten year old boys asked for a stereo system too. One more trip into the attic for some vintage equipment that we connected to an entry level Music Hall turntable. This created twin vinyl junkies. When I started hanging out in my kids' room to bathe in stereo, it was clearly time to create another two channel system elsewhere. So, I stuck my toe back into the water, removing my aging 5.1 channel HT system, and "upgraded" to stereo. The Linn and NAD are Audiogon purchased components. The PSB Imagine T speakers and REL R-328 subwoofer came from Audio Concepts in Dallas. The DacMagic is from Audigon and we use it for the Apple TV and DVR signals. The NAD and Linn interconnect directly. We'll see what the future holds, but for now happily listening to stacks of Redbook CDs (they sound better...no surprise) and reading reviews on SACDs on the acquisition list. Thoroughly enjoying the new journey.

Sounds like you jumped in head first, not just a toe in the water. I don't know your boys age but I'll bet they are the envy and are really enjoying vinyl, because lots of contemporary bands release in vinyl too.
Incidentally, great system and way better than my aging partial-kit.
