Hi all and greetings from northern Finland!
Addicted, yes that's the word I guess ;) Have been fairly active in finnish hifiscene for quite some time, doing even some articles for the finnish hifi magazine and also LP reviews. Have been also lurking around this forum for some time now, and as a friend informed that one thread has pic of my system decided to register and join the community.
No matter are we discussing about hifi or bicycles to name few I like quality items that are made to last and give joy to their owner year after year. Perhaps that is the reason I like some vintage systems so much. E.g. for speakers have tried some serious modern equipment and also some broadband units like Jordans or PHY-HP units but lately Tannoy DC's, Yamaha NS-1000M's and Vintage Altecs have rocked my boat best with suitable amplification. I mostly listen to jazz, indie and progressive rock but also have time for classical music, classic rock and even heavier stuff. And for what comes to media formats I prefer the black stuff but use also CD's, Spotify and NAS daily so not fanatic about it.
Knowing my own nature, most likely will join discussions from time to time as there is some interesting threads around. If you're interested of my system or personal opinions for what comes to this interest of ours, please feel free to drop me a line. In the meantime I will concentrate to listening some music when have time from the family and other hobbies. Also looking forward how my Onken project with the Altec speakers will turn out..
