...guess I should join in sooner or later.
After lurking for months I thought I wouldn't do better than joining in, and see if I can learn a bit.
Hello everyone, and nice to be in such good company. :wave:
I'm from -and live in- Spain: sunny Valencia on the Mediterranean shore; ..haven't done a search to see whether there are other Spaniards around...
More than into HiFi, I'd say I'm into music. Basically classical all the time, but wouldn't say no to a nice female voice from time to time singing whatever else...
I haven't changed my devices setup as often as I probably would (evolving, I mean), but rather sticking to good sound I've familiarised with.
My first system was a decent Technics CD player, linked to an Aura mosfet integrated, and hence to a lovely pair of Mordaunt Short monitors.
I kept that for over ten years. That gave me many hours of pure enjoyement.
16 years ago, this changed to a Micromega Stage 6 player, MSB Link DAC, Audion Sterling ETSE amp and NEAR 10M speakers (now replaced by Audio Note Ks), this has given me even more enjoyement than I thought I could get. I actually built my CD collection around this system, and learned a lot about timbral accuracy and pace.
It's only recently that I started winding with cables and DACs around...; I got an Caiman+, a Wadia 121, a Meier Corda StageDAC..., and fun begun.
Contacted Mr. Beresford for a Gator board and who knows where will this all end..., learning along the way.
..oh!, yes..., cables too. :mental:
Anyway, enough of me. Glad to be here and cheers everyone!
