I joined about six months ago, but havn't posted until now. Seems a nice forum. Anyway, my system, which is a touch weird really.
Turntable: SME, with aging Koetsu.
Other sources: No digital, ever. Two reel to reels ,loads of 10inch tape. Yamaha, Neal and Nakamichi cassette machines (but no cassettes) Quad fm4 tuner.
Amps: Audionote Jinro. Also Rogers HF 86 and Beam Echo Avantic, fully restored. Quad 303/33.
Phonstage. Music First step up (big one, don't know the name). Various mm stages, mainly valve but also some solid state. Still experimenting.
Speakers. Now it gets very silly, very quickly. Lowther Acoustas with Lowther DX3s and Rel 582 subwoofer (vital with Lowthers). But...the big beasts are still being built (300 hours so far). A clue, they require a large bag of cement and an equally large bag of plaster of paris (25kilos). Plus about £900 of birch plywood boards. I think there is only on speaker, ever, which meets this set of requirements. If you can guess, message me!
Music: everything but Mantovani, and he was probably a nice chap. Especially enjoy Sibelius and stuff like Steely Dan. Early Genesis too.. But will try most things.As for pics, will try to work out how. Must read the instructions.....
