Hi Everyone
I did register here previously some time ago but the forum crashed a few days after and the backup predated my registration and all my posts were lost.
So i've been a lurker ever since mainly keeping an eye on things in the DIY section.
My current system comprises:
Salvation TT/ Terminator arm/ Pickering XLZ 7500 Cart
Laptop/ musical fidelity V-link asynchronous USB to SPDIF converter/ AK2496 DAC with Dario's DIY audio mods
Tweaked Audio note kits based phono and line stage with cinemag step ups
Audio note kits based 300B monoblocks with semi regulated power supplies and currently trying out different input stage valves and configurations
DIY transistor power amp based on Naim circuit - still a work in progress
DIY open baffle speakers using vintage SABA drivers - still very much a work in progress
Music tastes change according to my mood, system, company, etc
Current favorites include Stevie Ray Vaughn, Louis Armstrong, Nirvana, Eric Clapton, Leftfield, Gomez, Queen, Black Sabbath, Santana, Green on Red, Orchestral maneuvers in the dark, Massive attack, Elvis Costello, The Messiah(Handel), The Pixies. Not sure if there's a pattern in there ?
Hope the forum doesn't crash again cos it'll probably take me another few years before i can face typing that lot again !
Anyway, love to everybody
Richard
