Hello.
OK got into Hi Fi through my late Father about 1970. BD2 deck , Heath Kit amp and Mordaunt Short speakers.
My first system back in 77 was. Fonz CQ30, Mayware Formula 4, Dynavector original 10X. Sugden C51, P51. Spendor BC1.
Fast forward to present.
Starting at the top. Pro-Ject 6.1 SB. Dynavector 10x MK 5. Pro-Ject Tube Box, the original from about 05. Two Audio Analogue CDP. First generation big box Maestro and a Rossini VT Rev2.
Musical Fidelity A1 FBP, Lyngdorf SDA2175. Speakers are Audio Vector Mi3 Super.
Bits and bobs. AT, Sennheiser H/Phones. X Duoo valve H/Phone amp. TV duties Super Pro DAC. SBT which is mostly used as a clock.
All kit is second hand, bought from either E Bay or Forum Classifieds.
Yes i have had a few disasters, the Rossini has been back to the Factory twice for new mechs. The Maestro also needed a replacement VAM 1250, which was a total pain. But got it sorted eventually.
Music tastes are varied. Over 1500 CD to chose from, a lot more than Vinyl, i have a very understanding partner and a very large wall unit.
Jackson Browne, John Hiatt, Joe Bonamassa, Neil Young, Floyd, Clapton etc. Mostly rock, i do have a few classical CD but not really my cup of tea. Sorry Dad.
No intention of changing kit. Tried a few alternatives, sold the A1 and bought the Maestro integrated, oh dear, big mistake. lucky i still had the Lyngdorf. Had to find another A1 quickly. Old saying. If it aint broke dont fix it.
Enough waffle look forward to posting.
