I'm not used to writing about myself so please bear with me. My audio journey started back in the early 70's I preferred to listen to music rather than watch TV. My grandfather was an audiophile and I guess I caught the "bug" from him. Anyway I have owned tube and solid state gear and a variety of speakers. Early on I was enamored with all the Japanese gear of that era. Then in the mid 80's while stationed in the U.K. I was introduced to high-end gear. A friend invited me to listen to his system (which is what all the G.I.'s did in those days - the louder the better :mental:) Electrocompaniet integrated amp, Linn LP12, Quad ESL 63 - WOW! That's all it took. I got rid of my ADS eq, Pioneer dynamic range expander,Technics SU-V707, Bose 301's, and embarked on this journey.

Current system:
Rega RP3 with Tango spinner upgrades
Audio Technica AT-F7 moving coil cartridge
Technics SL1800 - Cardas tonearm wire - Herbies TT mat - 10g aux brass tone arm weight
Denon DL-103
Musical Surroundings Nova Phonomena
Audio-gd P2
Khartago Stereo Extreme
Alon II
Interconnects and speaker cable "Signal Cable"
Auralex and Cathedral room treatments

Sounds great to these ears :)

Hello Stuart. Welcome to AOS.

You have some interesting equipment. I had an SL-1800 myself years ago. A nicely made item.

Tell us what music you listen to and about any plans you may have for your system.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.

Thanks for the welcome everyone - My musical tastes vary greatly. I love jazz fusion - i.e. Return to Forever, Pat Metheny, Oregon etc... Also listen to classic rock from time to time, Classical, Jazz. On the heavier side I've been listening to a band called "Animals as Leaders" - quite accomplished musicians :rock:

I don't have any immediate plans for my system (but we all know how that goes :doh:)
The amp is relatively new - May of this year - fantastic amp I'm really liking it.
The Denon cart is also new. Still breaking it in...
