I'm Peter and just signed up to this forum. I've a real mix of kit, mostly I use my iMac with an Audiolab M-Dac and a couple of Cyrus Power Amps with PSX power supplies. I have a Cyrus CDXT SE transport but don't use it much. I also have other bits of kit including a Linn LP12/Ittok LVII/Denon 103 connected to a Naim NAC32/Hi-Cap. I mostly use this for copying vinyl to CD. Still have a working A&R A60 Amp, Naim NAP250 (in need of repair), Linn Karik II CD (works but dodgy), Cyrus CD8SE (needs repair), Cyrus DAC XP+ (also needs repair), Linn Sara Speakers (minus crossovers).
Currently using Paragon Acoustics PA300 speakers which, after stumbling on a post here, drew me to this forum - as someone was asking for some information about Paragon Speakers - I can help here as it was my company (not to be confused with the US company of the same name). We made a few speakers between 1985 and 1989. The original model was the £269 PA2 which did receive a couple of decent reviews at the time (used a modified Audax HD17B25H Bass Driver and Scan-Speak D2008 tweeter). This was followed by the PA200, 250 and 300. The 250 and 300 used a KEF B200 SP1014 and Scan-Speak D2008 tweeter. The 200 had the same KEF driver but with the budget (but really quite good sounding) Audax TW74 tweeter.
