    Default Word up!

    Joel here, and perhaps my leaning towards 80's soul music is in evidence already

    Cameo aside, i do listen to a wide variety of musics. Can't really claim to be a devotee of any particular genre.

    Right now my system is a pair of Spendor BC1s, fed by crimson power/ meridian 101 pre amps with Rega Planet (mk1) and P3 as sources. Things tend to change quite regularly though, usually when i find a used pair or Royds for sale that still work.

    Have been interested in hi-fi for as long as i can remember - took my first saturday job as a means to buying Denon PMA250III and Tannoy speakers - and am now working back in the industry for a London based dealer, having worked previously at the Cornflake shop in the early noughties.

    Found my way here looking for spare parts for the Spendors.

    Peace & Progress
