Hi-Fi Journey of Discovery – Excited to Learn from the Community

[Dmishra]

Hello Fellow Audiophiles,

I’m excited to join this forum and connect with like-minded enthusiasts who share the same passion for high-fidelity sound. Music and movies have always been an integral part of my life, and over time my curiosity has grown into a genuine interest in exploring the world of audiophile gear and fine-tuning listening experiences.

Currently, my setup includes a Marantz SR6015 AVR with a 7.1 configuration (DefTech Demand Series D11 fronts/center, DefTech Bipolar surrounds, Polk Audio Atmos ceiling speakers, and a Marantz CD6007 CD player). I also use an Apple TV for streaming.

The latest addition to my chain is a Bluesound Node 2, which has opened up the world of high-res streaming for me. It’s been an exciting step forward, and I’m now diving deeper into understanding how a good streamer/DAC can influence overall sound quality.

While I enjoy my system a lot, I’m eager to learn how I can take it to the next level, especially when it comes to achieving better sound clarity and musicality for critical listening. I’ve recently been researching power amps in the 200W per channel range and am keen to hear from members who have experience pairing them with Marantz or similar setups. At the same time, I’m equally interested in understanding the finer aspects of room acoustics, source components, cables, and the nuances that make all the difference in a truly immersive experience.

I believe this hobby is a never-ending journey of discovery, and I look forward to learning from your experiences, recommendations, and discussions. Hopefully, I can also share my own observations along the way.

Happy Listening!
