I’ve always been a music lover and, over the years, collecting music has become as much a part of my journey as listening to it. It started with cassettes back in school, moved on to CDs during college, and for many years, Apple Music became my go-to companion, especially for travel and daily commutes. And now, I’ve found myself falling in love with vinyl and rediscovering the joy of listening to music in a whole new way.

"My current setup is fairly simple, but it gives me a nice way to enjoy music in different formats. My Audio-Technica AT-LP70X is connected to a Marshall Stanmore II, which is what I currently use for listening to vinyl.

For CDs, I use the FiiO DM15 R2R, connected to the same Marshall speaker. I also make use of the R2R DAC when listening to Hi-Res Lossless music from iPad.

My setup is still evolving. I’m planning to upgrade the speakers towards the end of this year, and at the moment I’m leaning towards the Klipsch - The Fives II."

"Be patient. It will eventually grow on you.

Start with the music you already love, spend time listening and discovering what really resonates with you, and let your collection grow slowly but steadily."
