Hi

[Rambaud]

I have been working abroad, so all my stuff is in storage - including my audio gear. I am back in the UK for the moment to sort out my late father's Estate (I am a Tax Consultant by profession).

I am currently using a Mac laptop with AKG 701 headphones to listen to my music - via iTunes until a a couple months back when I came across Audirvana Plus. I have various budget DACs/headphone amps from the Fiio range which seem better than the Mac's soundcard.

My main gear is based around a pair of John Bowers Active 1, Burmeister pre-amp, SqueezeBox, and various DACs whose names escape me, but does include a very early Stan Beresford DAC. I had a Linn turnable when I listened to vinyl - all sold many years ago.

Musical taste is mainly folk orientated - I am listening to Leonard Cohen as I type - Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Mary Black. Plus the Beatles, the Stones, the Eagles, Adele, Springsteen, Bryan Ferry etc etc. Some classical also.

Hi Doug,
Sorry to hear that you've lost your father - not the best reason to return home for.

Has no-one welcomed you yet? - How uncouth!
Welcome to AoS from me anyway!
When you get that gear out of storage, we'd love to see some photos in the Gallery.

Hopefully we'll be seeing lots more of you.

Cheers

Thanks.

Hopefully the gear will still work. :)
