A little about me...
My name Is Stu, I am 40yrs old and live in Blackpool, Lancashire.

To pay for my HiFi addiction I am self employed with three businesses, and still I don't earn enough to justify buying what I would really like to buy, but that is another story. LOL

Cyrus CD 8 SE
Cyrus 8 XP
2x Cyrus PSX - R

Interconnect

Chord Company Chorus 2.

Mains Filtration

Takima Mains & RF Filter
Mark Grant Power cables on each component

Hi Stu, welcome to AoS. A bit of a petrol-head, too, I'm assuming. :eyebrows: Hope you enjoy the forum. :)

Hi,
Very very varied indeed. This morning it was Katherine Jenkins and Adele.
last night it was dire Straits and ZZ Top. I can occasionally be caught listening to Bach too.

My main love, is female vocals and strings, something my system does very well indeed.

My main love, is female vocals

Going to "big up" my favourite female voclaist - Tina Dico - so if you've not heard her, check her out. And no, I'm not her manager, on commission, or the father of her baby, though I might have enjoyed that bit! :lol:

Will take your recommendation and obtain some of her music today.
Thanks. :)

If you've got Spotify then that's a good place to start to make sure you're happy - if you just want to take a punt, then this is a mix of "best of" and some re-workings done acoustically (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Welcome-Back-Colour-Tina-Dico/dp/B0041F4G78/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344508007&sr=8-1) - a great album. :) - samples available to check out with that Amazon link too, and a double CD delivered for £6.99 is a bargain.

I second the recommendation for Welcome Back Colour a bargain at that price and a great introduction to Tina

[Stu @ M Developments]

Thanks guys, bought two of her albums and am really warming to her now. :)
