    Talking Hi from a Swedish expat in Essex UK!

    Hi,

    Long term lurker and audionerd / music lover here.
    Born in Sweden many years ago and now living in Westcliff-on-sea Essex and a fairly recently regained obsession with audio gear and odd pressings after a move to a larger property where I now have the luxury of a dedicate listening room (combined office).

    Music taste is broad but main focus is on jazz, blues and singer songwriter stuff. Most played artists at the moment would be Doug MacLeod, Eric Bibb and Nils Lofgren with the weekly jump in to Dire Straits, Diana Krall, Ane Brun and Bishop Briggs.

    My main system is a work in progress but right now I have:
    Arcam CDS27 SACD player
    Rega P3 turntable using the stock Elys 2 cartridge (either going to replace the whole table or at least take the dive in to an MC cart).
    Tidal via laptop
    Leema Elements DAC
    Leema Tucana II amplifier
    Audio Physic Avanti 30th anniversary speakers
    Cables are mainly vanilla QED

    Pondering getting a digital streamer instead of the laptop.

    Also building a small second system which so far consists of a pair of Kef R300 bookshelf speakers and a Yamaha A-S501 amp (want to replace this by a smaller neat unit like a Cyrus or a Bel Canto).

    Will try to get a few pics up.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”


    ***SMILE, BE HAPPY***
