    Default Hello AOS

    Hi,

    Darren from London, just noticed I've had an account since 2011 and never posted. I currently have an AV system with Proac Tablettes Ref 8 Sigs and Definitive Audio surrounds, it's fine with music and movies but the location and kit is restrictive for more serious listening. I'm in the process (read thinking/auditioning) of building out a new HiFi system for music - streamer, DAC, new Amp and speakers - slowly,slowly.

    Music tastes are varied Jazz (intimate small band stuff), blues, soul, funk, rock (more of a Stones than Beatles person), hip hop (mostly older due to my age). I grew up in the 70's and 80's (I wish I hadn't sold my Technics 1200's), music I hated in the 80's I actually find myself listening and appreciating more now. I guess I prioritise performance, realism timbre etc. music more than the last elements of etched detail. I have similar issues with TVs - sharpness features making images and motion look unrealistic to the eye, I get similar feelings with certain digital audio hardware.

    Hi Darren, welcome to the forum.

    Good to see another 'Stones man here, they're all bloody Beatles fans in this place. Still what can you do?
