Hello all
I have been into music and hi fi for 30+ years, had several systems and the last I had was Meridian 508.24, Audio Innovations 500, KEF Ref 3's and a variety of connects depending on mood. I also has a 2nd had Naim power and pre amp which I used now and then. Unfortunately about 6 years ago in a state of financial panic I sold it, which I have regretted ever since. I have listened to music since then via a Pioneer surround system and mp3/aac's, ok but not very musical or engaging. Even the lovely Sue, my wife, regrets it and say's we should get another system. We still have over 900 cd's.
Muscial tastes go from most sorts of rock, through to classical, including modern jazz, folk, and world. The core of it reflects my years late 60's through to early 90's, with less newer stuff although the last few years I have bee buying more.
First single purchased together at age 11 were Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile and Dave Edmunds Rockpile - I hear you knocking' (drove my parents made that Xmas), first album was Moody Blues - On the Threshold of a Dream ( still love it) followed quickly by Black Sabbath - Masters of Reality and Deep Purple - In Rock. So I would say as a teenager I was into rock and grew into Pink Floyd. Loved music so much played in a couple of amateur bands in London and later in life went back to college and did a music course studying jazz guitar. Had to give up due to joint problems.
My other love you can guess from the handle.
