Saw some of the interesting threads over here and decided to join the party.

Ah, hell. All the other arse pain inducers moved here too, let's party,
 
Hello Tony. It's wonderful to have you join our forum. This man knows his Sony ES gear! I missed not talking to you in a forum format.

Nando.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Be nice on the Pioneer Elite front there Stumeister. When it comes to home theater, Pioneer Elite is my gear of choice apart from a Sony 55" inch LED panel. Back in the day the choice was hard between the ES and Elite lines but I made the choice for audio and I'm glad I did. That's not a bad reflection on Pioneer Elite by any means, I know folks that went that direction and those components have solidly stood the test of time - just like Sony ES gear. I still may spring for an Elite tape deck one of these days but it will have to be the right one - at the right price.

I've added a Maverick Audio headphone amp back in the spring and a low-hour TC-K870ES to the deck stack of my existing ES ensemble. Other than that the ES library is still the same as it has been for 20+ years; 2000ESD processor, ST-S730ES tuner, two mono blocked TA-N55ES amps and a two top-tier ES compact disk players. Denon DPL 62 for LPs and B&W speakers and subwooder to round things out. On the deck front I've got too many to mention but my favorite is still by far the 870ES.

I've been enjoying a pair of Ultrasone cans going on nearly 2 years now and can't say enough good things about them, they are super comfortable and mimic open air speaker listening even though they are closed cans. They get a lot of use.

I'm not one to post up a lot of pictures but I'll throw a few up in the coming days since you asked.

Hey Blaze....good to see ya over here. I responded to your message on AK. How's things?

Hey buddy....same here! I got your AK reply, thx. Things are good, can't complain. Love that photo of your current setup; looks cozy. Dig those Klipsch towers too; I considered getting those for my HT setup but space was an issue. How you liking them? Are those horns too much for you? I hear (no pun intended) that they are an acquired taste.
 
I like horns....might be bright for some but I enjoy the clarity and detail they have. I've become a Klipsch fan. I'm glad things are well with you....welcome aboard! :thumbup:
