Hi there, and welcome!

This blog has been a long time coming. After years of collecting records, tinkering with audio gear, and moving across continents, I finally decided to bring it all together in one place — Maple & Vinyl.

Here, you’ll find a mix of everything I’m passionate about:

• Vinyl records, both new finds and old favourites
• Vintage hi-fi equipment and modern sound systems
• Dolby Atmos and immersive audio tech
• Occasional reflections on life in Canada as a newcomer rebuilding from scratch

I don’t pretend to be an expert — just someone who loves music, sound, and the stories behind both. If you’re into warm tones, glowing VU meters, and the magic of hearing something just right, you’re in good company.

Thanks for visiting — and feel free to say hi in the comments or connect through the contact page.

Let’s spin some records and talk sound.
