Hello. My name is Graham and I live in Norwich, UK. I’ve been interested in HiFi since buying a Leak TL12 mono valve amplifier in my youth and building a speaker for it out of KEF units plus lots and enthusiasm and very little knowledge. It sounded good, and I particularly enjoyed seeing visitors’ puzzled expressions and they looked round the room in search of the other speaker. My first stereo system was a Quad 33+303 and more homemade speakers built from KEF units and rather more knowledge (i.e. someone else’s design, not my own).
My “main” system came many years later, based on AVI 2000 monoblocks and ATC SCM 20L speakers. Do you detect a pattern here? Small independent old-fashioned British companies. On the other hand I also love my Sennheiser HD800 headphones, currently driven by a Chord Hugo TT DAC/amp.
Let me be honest and state that the main reason I’m here is that I want to sell some of my stuff. I’m hoping to put some announcements on the Private Exhibitions forum in the near future. But I can see myself getting dragged into other discussions too, as time goes by.
Oh, my username? it’s my domain (gp12.com) chosen many years ago for its brevity, and containing my initials.
