    Default New Member but Old member!

    Hello all.

    So, been a member since 2008, but mainly lurking so I thought its about time I said hello.
    Will not preamble too much, just to say that have not changed my HiFi bits very often but thoroughly enjoyed what I have used.

    Current main system is made up of the following:

    Turntable: Michell Orbe
    Arm: Audionote Arm1 V2
    Cartridge: Goldring Elite
    MC Phono Stage: Michell Iso
    Integrated Amp: Pure Sound A30
    Speakers: Reiver Jenna
    Digital: Raspberry PI with IQAudio DAC+; Philips DCC 730
    NAS Drive: Iomega (plus a few USB disks plugged into the WiFi router)
    Main 'phones: Sennheiser HD600

    Pictures below show the current setup minus the Iso and PI (in the cupboard) and this was before I added the Elite - was using an A&R P77 which had been re-tipped by Expert Stylus some time ago.





    Other kit I have (in no particular order) are:

    Amps: Home brewed Mullard 20-20 clones, Audiolab 8000A (bought new in '85), Leak Delta 30, Armstrong 521, home brewed valve pre amp, Rotel power amp (can't remember its name!)
    Speakers: Quad 12L, Heybrook HB1's (bought new in '85 and been re-foamed), TDL RTL2 and some home brewed Wharfdale kind of speakers.
    Turntables: 3 Lenco L75's, Garrard SP25 MkII
    Arms: RB300, Linn Basik Plus
    Cartridges: 2 A&R P77, GE RPX 61, Ortofon OM10 (plus 78 rpm needle)

    Mmm - thinks that is all - well done if you read all that (more preamble than I thought!)
    Main system:
    Analogue.
    Michell Orbe with arm decoupling kit & Pete's Pylons. SME V arm, Denon DL103M (FGS), Firebottle OPT MKII phono amp
    Technic SP-10 in Obsidian plinth, AT1010 PMAC v8b arm, Goldring Elite MC Cart and BB3 Phono Amp
    Leak Lenco GL75 with Ortofon OM10 cartridge
    Technics RS-BX404 Cassette Deck
    Network Player.

    Digital.
    Philips DCC 730 player
    Marantz CD50SE
    Amp.
    Audiolab 8000A

    Hi Andy, nice looking system there.
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    Hello Andy. Welcome to AOS.

    That's a decent collection of Hi-Fi you have there. Interesting to see the Armstrong 521 in there, not seen one for half a lifetime.

    If you have any future plans for your systems, we'd like to hear what you may have in mind.

    There's plenty going on here, so get involved and chat with everybody.


    Enjoy the forum,
    Geoff.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
