Hi Everyone
I grew up in a pub and used to get all the records off the jukebox so by 10 I already had a collection of 200-300 singles. In my teens we used to play records on a friends fathers proper hi-fi which is probably where the interest started. Music wise I love the blues, jazz, rock and have an extensive dub reggae collection.
My first real system consisted of a Linn Axis, Mission Cyrus II + Power and Rogers LS7ts which I purchased in my early 20s.
Graduating as a Electronics Engineer I was educated as regards the superiority of transistors and digital so I was quite shocked to discover the best sounding systems at mid 80s Hi-Fi shows consisted of tubes and vinyl.
In the 90s I had a Pink Triangle Anniversary, Iso Phono stage, Audio Innovations S500 and built some huge Davis speakers from an audiophile kit.
My current system consisted of a TW Raven GT turntable, Groove SRX+, Zanden 3000, Icon Audio mb90s and LV OBX+RW. I was quite happy with the world until a pair of Aspara HL1 horn speakers came my way. These are brutally revealing, extremely fussy but when setup correctly fill the room with music. Currently I'm on the lookout for a SE amp that can play reggae and rock!
