Hello everybody

[Mike1947]

I have been interested in music for far too long to remember (I actually saw the Beatles live in their early days). My tastes are really varied, like anything apart from rap/hip hop. As you can gather from the first sentence my system has evolved over many upgrades to what I have now.

Brinkmann Bardot, Brinkmann arm, EMT Cartridge
Whest phono
DCS Pucinni
Simaudio Moon Pre and power amps
Monitor Audio Platinum Ii
Nordost cables

So basically always looking at how to get more from the system, particularly tweaking, recently came across JPS power cables, absolutely amazing.

Reside in Scotland, moved here by the company that I worked for.

Looking forward to good advice by knowledgeable people, I.e. those that actually listen to this stuff as a hobby.

H Mike, welcome to the forum.

Very serious system you have put together there. Monitor Audio seem to be doing a whole different league these days. Post up a few snaps of it for us if you have time.

Hi Michael. Welcome to AOS.

That's a nice selection of equipment you have there. What further plans do you have for your system if any?

Having recently invested in the new turntable I think that that is the last of the heavy spend, but still tweaking with cables.
When the new turntable went in I had lots of problems with grounding, humming, pops etc. Balking at the cost of Nordost mains cables I bought two from MCRU and plugged into the amplifiers...the difference to the sound was huge, actually now got real bottom end. I have recently bought a JPS Kaptovator and again this transformed the sound of the CD player.
So I intend to eventually replace a couple more mains cable, which obviously goes against convention of not mixing because of likely synergy problems.

Welcome to AoS Michael,

Ummm - yes, that's some serious kit you have there. Sounds as though you are a similar age to me, and use the same arm and cartridge!
