Hi there from Liverpool

Hi all

I've been a member for years, but never posted. I've now decided to take the plunge and get involved.

I've been into hifi for quite a while and built what I think is a decent system slowly over the years.

My main audio system consists of
Amp - Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista M3
Turntable - Thorens TD166 with home made plinth and dampened chassis
Photo stage - Cambridge Audio - modified with + / - 18V DC supply in stead of the 12vAC input
CD - Marantz CD63 KI signature
Streamer - Logitech Squeezebox Touch
Linear power supply (two outputs) - feeding the logitech and the phono stage
Speakers - KEF LS50s

Conservatory system
Amp - Monitor Audio A100
Music Streamer - Logitech squeezebox touch
AV streamer - Minix H8 Plus
Speakers - Q Acoustics 3020
TV - Samsung UE32k5100

Main AV system
Amp - Sony STRDN1040
Bluray - Oppo 103D
Cable - Virgin Media Tivo
AV Streamer - MAG250
Games - PS4
Speakers - Acoustic Energy Evo 3B 5.1 system
TV - Samsung UE55HU7500

I also have a few back-ups
Amp - Pioneer a300r precision "full monty, blue LED"
Amp - Pioneer a400x
Speakers - B&W 602's
Another Sony AV amp, Devon DVD and a few other bits.

Surprising when I list it down, I've collected quite a few bits and pieces over the years.

I listen to various types of music, mostly 60s, 70s and 80s.

Thanks John

welcome to AoS officially John. What took so long?

Hi John. A late welcome from me too.

That's a lot of gear. You're not the only one though, many of us are the same.

Nice to see that you want to get involved. Have a chat with the members. They're a friendly lot.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Thanks both.... not sure what took me so long to be honest... just been quietly noddeling away in my own little world.

Have you got any plans for changes in the gear you use?

[john1964t]

Hi Walpurgis

Nothing firm at the moment..... been considering whether its worth investing in a dac to go between the logitech touch and amp. I've read quiet a few posts and reviews saying it's not worth it and then others saying it is. I guess at some stage I'm going to have to have a play around and see. I could hook up the monitor audio A100 in-between using the digital in and preouts, but I'm not sure how good the DAC in the MA A100 is.

I've not long bought the MF Nu-vista so not sure splashing a lot of cash on a dac would be well received by my better half.

Thanks John
