Hello from New Zealand, I've been invoved in the Audio Industry since 1974. Got into the field primarily because of my love of music, but soon learned to enjoy the euipment side as well. I remember when I was first smitten by a T/T it was an Empire 598. Soon after I heard a pr. of B&W DM2s , I was hooked!
My main system consists of :
Sources: Oracle Alexandria, Sota Sapphire, Denon DCD-S1, Enlightened Audio Design DSP7000MKIII, Nakamichi LX3.
Pre: VTL 2.5
pwr: Pinius SA100MKII
SPKS: B&W802
I look forward to meeting you all.

Hello, Plinius and welcome, I'm from just across the way in Australia but don't hold that against me. Like you I enjoy Garry Morrisons equipment, having a CRAFT amplifier back n the 8os - a brand he owned before joining Plinius. I'm still in fact using the phono module from it today. Would love to hear your SA100/B&W combination, should be really nice!
AOS is a good forum (I imagine your also on Audioenz?) so enjoy. It's a good place to visit,

Hi Peter and a big welcome from me too!

It seems we are all quite patriotic when it comes to equipment choice! ;)
I do like both the sound and and design of Plinius products though! :)

Anyways, enjoy the AoS! Bound to give you plenty of smiles on each visit!

Hello Peter and welcome to AoS. I use a pair of DM2's myself and I love what they do in my system. I've a very eclectic taste in music although I am not a huge fan of Jazz or Elvis. Hope you enjoy your stay ;)

No worries mate, I knew Garry & Peter Thompson well. My CA1 has been modded with Van den Hull 502 , caps, resistors & relays etc.
No I'm not on Audioenz. Thanks for the welcome.:)
