I was given a link to this forum some time ago by someone who posts on NickG's audio-talk forum. I joined but have never posted until now.
I took another look here last week following a question posted on pfm by Hamish and I finally noticed that new members are supposed to introduce themselves, so here I am.
I'm 50 and come from Newcastle. I joined the Services at 17 and served 12 years before leaving in 1987. It was during this time I discovered British hifi and changed a Technics based system to a Naim one.
My initial move away from the Technics was the purchase of an LP12/Ittok, 32.5/snaps/160 driving JBL L110's, then Kans/Sara's/Epos14 (and various others along the way) before changing to CD. I ended up using the same Naim amp but with a CDX/CDPS and SBLs. I had this all Naim system for a period but I hardly listened to any music for almost 12 months, so realising a mistake I began to investigate a change and that's how I arrived at my current system, which is a Squeezebox, diyhifisupply Ella PP valve amplifier, a Django TVC and a Hifi World KLS3 MKII floorstanders. I recently sold a Meridian 206B and have a Rotel 965BX LE Discrete as a backup when I'm not using the SQ.
I live in the Midlands and work in IT.
