Hello everyone at the Art of Sound, I'm Robert :) I've been instructed by the helpful welcome message to, er, post a welcome message!
Well, where to start.. I'm 25, living in London. I've been a music fan all my life but got into hi-fi about three years ago when I moved into my first flat and had a space of my own. I started off with a second hand vintage set-up of Techincs and Wharfedale gear, instantly caught the hifi bug of course. Acquired a NAD 3020 and Pioneer A400 to hear what all the fuss was about. Then, mid-2015, I decided to invest some cash in a modern amp and DAC. I auditioned Arcam, Creek, Musical Fidelity, Roksan, and finally Rega. I'm very pleased with my set up at the moment, I think my old Mission speakers that I acquired in mint condition play nicely with the Rega electronics to produce a pleasant sound stage in my small living room.
In addition to listening, I also sing in a rock band and promote contemporary post-punk nights in North London. My favourite genres are post-punk and jazz. My favourite band, The Sisters of Mercy.
Here's a shot of my rig I took last night. That's a Nakamichi DR-10 in between the Regas, inherited from my great uncle who too was an enthusiast.
