MARK BRODSKY has 3 LISTENING SETUPS FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT

Mark Brodsky is new to our group and has expressed a lot of enthusiasm hosting fellow audiophiles to visit and listen to his 3 system setups that Mark likes for different music and tastes at different times.

Onkyo surround sound home theater primarily for movie noise!

As Mark explains:

As you can see, lots of different sounds for different music types. I can accommodate LPS, CDs SACD's, DVD audio, Hi Rez files (Up to 24/192). USB Thumb drives, But no one will be allowed to sing! :)   I am partial to instrumental music, Orchestral, guitar, Jazz, Soundtracks, and female vocal, but really not so much for opera. Folks can bring some tunes to make it  interesting, though I have about 1600 CDs on the server.

While not acoustically perfect, the room has few parallel surfaces and has furniture (too much actually) and carpet which makes it pretty effective for imaging. The three systems can accommodate near field listening as well as regular listening. I have a lot of fun with it. I'd be willing to try and at the same time introduce myself to everyone.


So let's all visit and welcome Mark in what should be a very enjoyable meeting.
