Hi everyone,

Just a bit of background first.
I live in Brisbane, Queensland,Australia, but am currently doing a 4 month stint working in the Solomon Islands. Missing my system so much. :)

I have been a music lover all my life,and got the Hi Fi bug as a teen. I have owned various bits of equipment over the years, and currently have a love of vintage gear, turntables in particular. And want to revist valves and full range speakers again someday.
My current system is:
Turntable: Luxman PD350 (belt drive without the vacuum hold down system)
Tonearm: Rega RB300 modded by Audio Origami
Cartridge: Garrott Optim FGS MM
Phono Stage: Gold Aero DB 45 signature version
Amp: Jungson JA88D (Solid State)
CD Player: E.Sound E5
Speakers: Lenehan ML1 (bookshelf)

The Lenehan ML1's are a real revelation, a guy who has been making speakers for a few years now has just now started to get some rave reviews for this small but excellent speaker that he sells, but all his orders are via his website. Google it some time, they are brilliant imo, and great value for money.

I have just purchased a Technics SP10MKII table with an Alphason HR100S tonearm, and have an order in for a nice slate plinth to put the tt in.
This is a bit of a change of direction for me turntable wise, I want to see what all the fuss is about with this model, and once I get home in November I will set it up and do some comparisons to my Luxman.

I only have a pic of my tt at the moment, and will update pics at a later date.

see you all on the forums

Welcome to AOS.

Interesting system.


Can you add your first name as your signature and a basic location to that part of the data base.

Hi Chris! Welcome to The Art of Sound. Your system does sound interesting. It must be awful being parted from it for so long! What kind of system do you manage when you're away from home?

Thanks for the Lenehan tip... I'll check out his site :)

Enjoy the forum!

Hello Chris - look forward to hearing more about your system - nothing there I know much about (and some pics, eventually!) Welcome, and get stuck in!
