Hello Shane, and welcome to HPR.  This was an awesome introduction.  

You mentioned working to ensure you have high quality audio and equipment, while remaining within the open source arena.  I would love to learn more about your selections and processes. 

Even though HPR is very tolerant of a wide range of audio quality, I feel like it is time for me to make some upgrades, and my first step is to learn more about what others are doing.

Looking forward to hearing more fromyou on HPR
