Hi Everyone,
My name is Roger. I've been interested in Music and Hi-Fi since the mid-sixties when I was a teenager and everything was groovy.
My tastes in music range from folk to rock and include punk, new wave, heavy metal, alternate country and a lot else. My favourite band has forever been Blue Oyster Cult.
I've had a great deal of different pieces of equipment since buying my first hi-fi in about 1967. Those were the days of the Laskys chain and many independent retailers. Every town had several hi-fi shops in those days. I was a regular upgrader although sometimes the results went the opposite way and were more of a downgrade unfortunately. But in those days I didn't know you had to let audio equipment run in properly before judging it. I used to think it was equipment mismatch most of the time and pass it on as quickly as possible.
Currently I'm using an XTZ amplifier, Audiolab CDP (and Njoe Tjoebe CDP as well) and PMC FB1 speakers. Recently I revived my Rega Planar 3 deck (1970's vintage) from the garage and its running perfectly again. Sadly the Dyanavector 10X2 had disintegrated over the years. Such a shame!
These days I do most of my listening via iPod. I have 6 or 7 iPods and docking stations all over the place including the kitchen and bathroom.
Both my garage and loft are cluttered with pieces of audio equipment collected over the years. Sadly the secondhand shop I used to trade with closed down some years ago.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to being a member on this forum.
Best regards, Roger
