Welcome

I call myself The Occassional Audiophile because I occassionaly perfectly triangulate myself in front of my speakers and listen to the music intently, but I mostly listen to my music while I am multitasking. I listen to CDs played on two identical 1999 Technics SL-PD8 changers that are connected to two identical Schiit MODI+ DACs via toslink cable, I will sometimes spin vinyl on my 1995 Tecnics SL-1500 direct drive turntable, but not very often. The heart and soul of my Hi-Fi system is the Marantz model 2238B stereo receiver that my father bought new in 1977, and the bookshelf stereo speakers are ADS models L570/2 and L780/2 made in the early 1980's.

My modest Hi-Fi system.



 I visit a couple of Hi-Fi related web sites / forums and I also watch a few different YouTube channels on the subject. My two favorite channels are run by Kevin at Skylabs Audio and Randy at Cheap Audio Man, these two knowlegeable gentlemen produce entertaining and informative videos that I enjoy

The next upgrade I have planned for my system.
