Hello

[Openwave]

Hi,
My name is Al, based in Jakarta, Indonesia, happy to stumbled into this great forum full of helpful people.

First got into music when I was 7 years old, listening to a Rush bootleg tape, and got hooked on YYZ, Xanadu, etc, and never looked back (saw the band during their Presto tour in 92 in San Diego)

First got the hifi bug when I was looking for some inceiling speakers for my house, but my mistake was I walked into a local Roksan dealer, and ended up buying the Roksan K2 amp + CD, costly mistake J

My kit:
-Amp: Roksan Kandy K2
-CD Player: Roksan Kandy K2
-TT: VPI Scout (2 month backorder L )
- Phono Stage: Croft RIAA (just booked a used but near mint unit this morning, after reading positive feedback from people in this forum about Croft RIAA)
-Cartridge: Ortofon 2M Black
-Speaker: Dali Mentor Menuets
-Listening room a.k.a work room *: 3.5 x 3.5 metre

Music that I listen to: Rush, Iron Maiden, The Clash, Pearl Jam (saw them Columbus 1993), Massive Attack, Tricky, EBTG, Amos Lee, Roy Hargrove, The Editors,old school thrash metal (Anthrax, Testament,Death Angel,etc).

Cheers.

A man who likes Rush, Iron Maiden and Pearl Jam, is a man of most discriminating taste and refinement ... Welcome.

Some great bands in your list
Getting into Rush at 7 (I must admit I am impressed)

Hi Al, welcome to AoS from me as well :) While I'm not a heavy metal fan by any means of the imagination, The Clash & EBTG as well as Massive Attack certainly get spun here!

I hope you enjoy your stay, all the best :cool:
