Let me introduce myself.
I am a hifi fan from The Netherlands with a 40+ years record of sound addiction.
Started with a Grundig valve tape recorder from the fifties, delivered newspapers and worked during schoolholidays to save for some ‘serious equipment’. Visited the great audiofairs (firato), collected boxes full of hifi brochures (unfortunately all thrown away).
Made some bad equipment choices over the years, learned that actually listen to music is more important than listen to marketing chatter.
Current setup:
Yamaha RX-A810, Cambridge Audio Sonata NP-30, Beresford Caiman II Venom 3 GFU, Synology DS216Play, Magnat Quantum Edelstein.
