I guess I should probably introduce myself.
Right out of high school I bought a Technics rack system at a big box store. I thought I had the best stereo around, and I continued to believe it for 17 years. Then in 2005 I heard a friends Classe system with B & W speakers. Suddenly, I knew better sound was possible so I started researching hi-fi. I started out by buying a pair of Jensen era Advent speakers, which I still have, and a Sansui 9900Z. I moved on from there to my current system of a Phase Linear 400 (rebuilt by Mr. Laatsch with Whiteoak components), Audio Research preamp, Dahlquist DQ10, Lineaum LT and Klipsch Heresy speakers - I switch them out depending on my mood and my wife's tolerance (she loves the Dahlquists, and hates every other piece of stereo gear in the house).
I am also a big music junky. I am a regular at record shows around the Pacific Northwest. I listen to all types of music except hiphop, rap and modern country. I also try to attend as many concerts as I can by blue grass, and classic rock performers. I will be seeing Blue Oyster Cult two nights in a row in July. It is going to be a great summer.

Welcome to Phoenix, Jimmy. Lee has a knack for elevating any of his friends' threshold for "more-gain-more-pain" amplifiers. It sounds like you have a great combination of pieces in your system. One comment: co-existence in one's home requires loving every piece of furniture you own, including Klipsch speakers. Geri and I make it to one concert a year. Last year, we had a three day outdoor music festival where we live. I think it's safe to say all of us, here, are music lovers. BOC should be a good one in July!

You know you have reached middle age when your favorite bands are playing fairs and casinos. BOC is playing a fair in Corvallis, Oregon, and one in Vancouver, WA the next night. The shows are about 100 miles apart. I will be taking a carload of teenagers to the WA show - they all seem to know "Godzilla."
