Mark here finally regularising my presence here after a while lurking.
My vinyl system consists of Wilson Benesch Full Circle with Transfiguration Aria and/or Denon DL304 into Clearaudio Balance (broken awaiting repair at the moment). For digital I rip my CDs onto a home-brew Windows Home Server streaming to various Squeezeboxes around the house. For my main system the Squeezebox digital output drives a Bryston B100SST with a built in DAC. Speakers are Anthony Gallo Ref 3.1.
My system has been pretty stable for a few years now - I tend to be more of a fit and forget guy than a box-swapping addict.
My music collection consists of a number of distinct layers like geological deposits starting with rocky, proggy stuff in the 70's moving through jazz rock, new wave, funk - in fact a bit of everything through to about ten years ago when the fossil record seems to grind to a bit of a halt. Not that I am not buying music, but most of it seems to be filling the gaps. This is odd given that I have teenage kids who ought to be keeping me in touch - but I struggle to find much contemporary music that hits the spot these days. Maybe I am exhibiting grumpy old man characteristics, but music seems to be easy come easy go these days - it is everywhere for free and surprisingly we are getting what we pay for. Discuss and all suggestions welcome!
Pleased to be here, as they say.
