    Post Hi there everybody!

    Hi.

    I've just found this site after being happy with my old system for years.
    (NAD C340 amp, NAD 540 CD player, Tannoy Mercury speakers).
    Just caught upgrade-itis and now have a system consisting of:

    Rega Brio 3 amp.
    Rega DAC
    Sony XE597 SACD player
    Castle Knight 1 speakers.

    Currently in the process of re-doing my office/man-cave to add a TV and sofa etc.
    I may also be developing a Rega addiction.
    I keep looking at Rega speakers and turntables.

    I've been involved in IT for years. My home tech consists of Windows, OS X, Linux, Android and iOS.
    No favourites here!

    Cheers
    Mark

    Hi Mark, welcome to AOS. Looking forward to seeing some pictures of your refurbished man-cave! What sort of music do you like to listen to?

    Thanks for the kind welcome.
    I will post pictures of the man-cave as it progresses.
    I think it will take a few more months to get everything in place.

    I've been ripping my CDs to Flac lately so I've been listening to loads of different stuff.
    My CD collection is mostly noisy guitar based music (metal, indie, alternative, punk etc.) with major detours via industrial, electronica, dance, hip hop, jazz, blues and classical.
