    Good evening Art of Sound,

    As per instructions, here's my intro....

    I am currently undergoing my hifi renaissance. Having built up a budget Pioneer/Phillips/Technics -> Pioneer -> Monitor Audio setup in my teenage years, which followed me through studies and slowly dwindled as I relied increasingly on digital music (ripped CDs mainly, I have never taken to downloading).

    And now I am back. My vinyl is being dusted off, and I am back rummaging through records stores like it's 1984 all over again! I have borrowed some stuff to get me moving, and have started picking up my own gear...

    Townshend Rock Reference, SME V, Tranfiguration AF-1 (borrowed)
    Rega Aria
    Sugden Bijou CDMaster
    Naim Nait XS 2
    Celestion A3s (borrowed)

    Currently looking to pick up a baby Rock (from a member here), and perhaps some B&W speakers based on what I have heard so far, but open to suggestions.

    My musical tastes are too varied to accurately reflect in a single post. To give context, I have just taken Teardrop Explodes’ Kilimanjaro off the deck as I sit here, and the last record I bought was Hamp, by Lionel Hampton, at the weekend. But my music collection also includes a healthy dose of classical music and rock standards, new wave and electronic. I even have the odd bit of pop and rap...

    Best regards, David

    Welcome to AoS David,

    Wow - that's some interesting gear you have put together. We would love to see some images.

    Your tastes in music are commendably broad; you will fit in well here.

    Enjoy the Forum

    Thanks for the welcome. I will try to get around to pictures, although more photogenic are the QuickSilver V4 mono blocks the Naim has replaced... but I decided valves weren't for me right now...
