My name is Ian and I live just north of Coventry.

Despite recent evidence to the contrary, I'm more interested in music than in hifi. Good music sounds good on anything! I was brought up on Abba, the Carpenters, Don McClean and John Denver.

My first system was a Sony midi with separate CD player in 1987. Within a year of getting this, I gave away all of my records including a complete set of New Order 12" singles -> doh!!

I tried to get back into vinyl this year and whilst I acknowledge that it can sound stunning, finding and buying music was proving expensive and problematic, so I'm selling all my vinyl kit.

My current kit is Cyrus CDT transport -> Meitner MA1 DAC -> Triode TRV-845se valve amp -> LV Avatar OBX speakers.

My musicals tastes are varied from 80s synth, ambient, folk, soul, R&B, rock, country, a bit of classical and occasionally Jazz but only the stuff where everyone is playing the same tune. :)

Hi Ian,
Welcome to the AoS from me, sorry you have been having problems with vinyl, but real pleasure can be found on CD, I hope you find things of interest on this friendly forum.

Enjoy your music :)

Hello Ian. Welcome to AOS.

That's a nice system you have. You can post some photos in the Gallery if you'd like to.

Nothing wrong with sticking to CDs. I rather like using mine.

I'm sure you'll find plenty to interest you here.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Thanks. :)

Still on WW but haven't posted on PF for quite a long time; I just don't seem to get the PF crowd.
