Hello!

[ThePaneraiGuy]

Hey there guys, new member here from So.Cal!

I'm new to this forum, but not new to Forums in general! I belong to maybe 100 forums, ranging from Cars to Audio to other interesting electronics related hobbies...

My main passion is 2 channel audio, tube amplifiers, reproducing analogue music in the digital domain in high resolution. I'm into ribbon speakers if anyone knows what that is! (Apogee Scintillas)

I love cars, too... my last car was a modified Infiniti G35 Coupe where I strapped twin turbos to it amongst other things. Ah, the good ol' days.

I hope to learn alot from reading, which I'm really good at. I rarely post, but when I do it's usually when I really need help..! My first rep was a Pan from chinatown while visiting New York... Didn't last too long.

After looking at a new noob introductions, I noticed a few people saying to look at "Toad's pages." I saw his signiture and tried to click on them but the links appear to be dead

I too used to be in love with the whole high end audio area. My dream system was a pair of Infiniti RS-1's with the high end driven by Conrad Johnson tubes and the bottom end with a good solid state amp but that was 20 years ago. The ribbons rock as well but I haven't had a good listen to any since Magnepan came out with the Timpani's. All that is long gone though replaced with kids and their toys.

Thanks for the link, I ended up finding that one... Strangely enough though most of the links contained in that thread do not work anymore... bummer!

RS-1's... ahh.. nice speakers. I hear you on the kids! I'm trying to avoid that!!

So far in reading the forums, it seems Davidsen creates the best rep pan's... is that a website that I can look at or are they all custom made-to-order? Are there any point and click order type sites to look at?

If you go into the dealer or accessories areas you can come across links to dealers who have withstood the test of time. Some use photobucket and others have specific websites. Davidsen has a photobucket. Everyone will have different points of view as to who makes the best what. I would peruse the PAM section and look at some of the stuff members have bought and their reviews.
