Hi, all

My name is James Ive been a hifi fruit cake for some time.
I have been a John Farlowe Exposure fan and had an XI pre with a whopping IX power supply going into a IVDR power amp. Feeding these was either a M2Tech Young Dac or an Audiolab MDac. On the other end of my system is a pair of ATC scm 35's
I recently made the the very very impulsive purchase of a pair of NVA A80's & A40's from Steve on the Wam. I had no intention of leaving the Expo camp but I have always fancied the idea of Monoblocs.
So Thats me really, I am a big fan of acoustic music, I love Jazz, and ANYTHING that sounds good. I recently came across a chap called Victor Wooten, which is down right Funky and I have been buying up all of his albums.

People have been talking about the sound of old school Tannoy type speakers for a long time and I have always been very curios so I made the most impulsive purchase yet, I bought a pair of Goodmans Magister speakers that are being delivered to me on Wednesday. I think they need a bit of work to get them up to speed but they are going to be my tweaking/restoring project so watch this space.:)

Hey :) Exposure amps & Victor Wooten, sounds cool.

How are the NVAs in comparison? I am looking at upgrading myself.

I Have just sold All my Expo gear, and kept the NVA's that how good they are.
I was a bit sceptical at first, now I'm hooked. I wanted to keep both set ups as I had a bit of a connection with the Expo's but I couldn't let just £1700.00 sit there, I had bills to pay, So as of last week I'm all NVA.
I thought I would, but I don't regret it at all.
What Expo kit have you got?

I remember Sovereign fags well. Bloody hurt your chest if you inhaled too deeply! Still, they were my first introduction to the glamorous world of smoking.....I was about 14.

Victor Wooten's What Did He Say is a bit wierd, but worth a listen.

Have you tried Alien Chatter?

Welcome.

Thanks for that Puffin, my Spotify is doing weird stuff right now, think it wants me to re join or something. I looked up Alien Chatter on You Tube - Very good indeed! Thanks for the recommendation, any more???
