Hi all,


Now living in Scotland after moving recently from living in Belfast for all of my life.
Been into hi-fi for around 35yrs, old hand and all that jazz... Talking of jazz, been into jazz for many years now, not everyone's cuppa tea but I utterly love it!

I also enjoy music from the likes of; Hue & Cry - Frank Zappa - John Martyn - Level 42 - Jethro Tull - Kraftwerk - Scott Hamilton - Fiona McKenzie - Love & Money - Peter Cincotti - James Grant - Roxy Music - Jack Bruce - Family - Seth Lakeman - China Chrisis - Ramones - Stranglers - Brian Eno etc....etc.......

Recently bought a vintage mint 1978 Linn Sondek LP12/Ittok/Valhalla, I use a serviced/re-furbed pair of Quad 11 power amps, choice of either Quad ESL 57's or Audioplan Kontrast Mk11's, Classe Audio 30 pre-amp, Audiomeca Mephisto Mk1 cd transport, Sqeezebox Duet streamer.

Looking foreward to posting here and sharing tips/music interest!


Regards;
peter

Hi Peter - your reputation obviously precedes you! ;)

Great introductory post - not sure there is much more we can ask - except the obligatory plea to please post some pictures in the Gallery section of your system, as we are very nosey! :)

Enjoy the forum!

Andre,

Yes Sondek LP12 with black lid etc... It even had the basic red square power button/switch, but it sounds wonderful!

Hello Peter, where abouts are you? I'm in between Glasgow and Edinburgh myself. Which kinda sucks!

Welcome :0)
